In our last installment, you learned all about your Clapper profile. We visited the Creator Space and helped you set your profile up for success. Now that you have a solid foundation, we can get into the exciting part of social media: creating content on the Clapper app. And we’re getting lots of help from our friends over at @ClapperAcademy. Let the crash course continue!
Creating Your Content 🎬
Not all content creators are the same. You’ve got special skills and a style all your own, and you need an app that can accommodate that. Luckily for you, the Clapper app has a variety of ways to create and monetize your content. Master all of them, and you’ll be a bonafide triple threat!
💡Expert tip: The more ways you create, the more people you’ll reach. The more you reach, the more $$$ you’ll earn!
Short-Form Videos 🎞️
Short-from videos are our bread and butter. They were our first feature, and videos are still the easiest way to show your community what you’re passionate about.
Record and edit videos in-app, or upload pre-made content. Our built-in tools and extensive music library make creating on Clappr easy. Plus, our equal opportunity algorithm ensures your content has the chance to be seen.
💡VIP Tips For Your Next Post
- Make sure we can clearly see and hear you. You’re the star of the show!
- Pick the five best hashtags to describe your content. Target your #communities.
- Engage with all the comments on your video – even if it’s a simple like!
We recommend creating an intro video! It’s the perfect way to introduce yourself to the Clapper community. Trust us: there’s no better first video.

💡VIP Tips for Your Next Livestream
- Create an eye-catching setting or backdrop for your Live.
- Sketch out a rough plan for your Live. What do you want to do?

Radios 🎙️
Radios are audio-only livestreams that allow creators to connect with their community on a more personal level.
With Radios, you can have up to 20 speakers and 2,000 listeners! Radio gifts make it easy to monetize your content, and you can host private or public Radios. Perfect for all our camera-shy creators!
💡VIP Tips for Your Next Radio
- Invite guests ahead of time. Conversations will flow much more easily.
- Settle in one spot. You don’t want your audio going in and out!
- Follow anyone who comes up to speak. DM them a quick thank you, too!
Just like Livestreams, there are no follower thresholds you have to meet. Get cozy and hop on a Radio to meet the rest of the Clapper community.
