You’ve read the title and description, so we’ll keep this introduction brief. You want to start making money on Clapper, but aren’t sure where to start. We’ve got you covered. In this article, we’re walking you through the seven steps to monetizing on Clapper.
Step One: Create an Account ⭐
No, we’re not joking, and we’re not trying to make this look easy. You can monetize and start earning money from the moment you join Clapper. No waiting to gain a certain number of followers or hit a view threshold. All you need to do is create an account!
Step Two: Explore Your Options 💰
Clapper has six (and counting) ways for you to monetize. You can choose the ones that work best for you and your content. Here are the options!
Gifts 🪙
One of the easiest and most popular ways to monetize is through gifts. And there are still options in that! Viewers can send you gifts from a revolving library of seasonal options on your videos, Lives, or even Radios.
Clapper Shop 🪙
You can open a Clapper Shop on your profile and start selling items on day one! And there’s no limit to what you can list. You can sell merch, shout-outs, something you make on a Live – whatever you want.
Fam Tiers 🪙
Fam Tiers are one of the most unique ways creators can monetize on Clapper. You can create up to three subscription tiers, so followers can support you and your content every month. Like Patreon, but on Clapper.
Paid Group Chats 🪙
You can create up to ten Group chats to connect with your followers in real time. Add a monthly subscription fee to create an exclusive community for your most dedicated followers.
Paid Multi Live 🪙
Love going Live and giving advice? Why not charge a little fee! With Paid Multi Live, viewers bid on the chance to join your Live for a set amount of time. You determine who comes up, how long they stay up, and what you talk about.
We’re constantly updating our features and adding new options to help you reach your creator goals. Follow @Clapper, @ClapperAcademy, or @ClapperCreator so you never miss an update.
Step Three: Develop a Money-Making Strategy 🤔
You might be tempted to literally dive in and, in the words of your granny, “go all willy-nilly”. Some creators find success with that method! Most, though, will need to develop a plan before they start monetizing.
This plan doesn’t need to be a full, drawn-out strategy, with backup plans in case something goes wrong. It can be as simple as a list of the monetization features you want to use.
Why? Trying to do everything can leave you feeling a little stressed and a lot scattered. You’re more likely to abandon monetization altogether, and if you start neglecting your Fam Tiers or Paid Group Chat, that can burn your loyal followers. Instead, start slow. Find one (maybe two) things you can incorporate into your content strategy and build from there!
Step Four: Put It Into Action 📸
Once you know the features you want to start making money with…start! Open your Fam Tiers or host your first Livestream and see what happens.
Finding Your Monetization Feature 🤓
Looking at the options and scratching your head? We can’t blame you. Take another look and see which is the most natural fit. What do you have time for? What works with your content?
For a creator who loves vlogging, talking to the camera, or documenting projects, try going Live! If you’re already going Live, try a Paid Multi Live or a Radio. Creators who are promoting a small business should obviously start with the Shop feature.
Promoting Your Content 📣
Sadly, if you want to make money, you’ll have to do a little promo. That’s showbiz!
Post a video telling your followers why they’d want to join your Group chat or Fam Tiers, and what they’ll get out of it. If you’re going Live more often, share a video (or Group chat message) telling people when so they can join you. Be sure to call out your wish list and encourage people to send gifts.
And, don’t worry; you don’t have to act like a used car salesman. Mention it once or twice, be sure people know about it, and move on. Clapper’s all about authenticity, including when you’re marketing yourself.
Step Five: Withdrawing 💱
Now comes the part you’re all excited about: withdrawing your earnings. That’s what making money is all about!
Once you have $100 in your wallet, you can withdraw your funds. Depending on where you’re located, you have several ways to get your money from Clapper to your bank account.
ACH 💸
If you’re in the US, you can do a good ol’ wire transfer. Just plug in your banking info and receive your Clapper earnings in about a week.
PayPal 💸
Creators both inside and outside the US can use PayPal to withdraw their earnings. Just log in and link your PayPal account, and you’re good to go.
USDT 💸
For creators in Latin America, Romania, and Ukraine, you can withdraw your earnings to your BNB Smart Chain USDT address. Perfect for creators interested in crypto.

Step Six: Taxes 😭
Now onto everyone’s least favorite part of making money. Yes, your earnings on Clapper are taxed once you pass a certain threshold.
Creators will receive a 1099 form if their Clapper income surpasses $600. In addition, we’ll also collect a W-9 for US citizens and a W-8BEN from non-citizens. But you don’t have to worry about any of this until you start withdrawing. If we need a tax form from you, we’ll reach out in-app!
Step Seven: Evaluate 🔍
If you’ve been reading Clapper blogs for a while, you know we love an evaluation.
Once your monetization strategy has been in place for a while, you need to take a step back to see how it’s been performing. What’s making you the most money? Are the things that take the most time to do making you some decent money? Is there something new you want to integrate or try?
This step of the process allows you to strengthen your approach and cut out things that aren’t working anymore. You can keep chugging along without evaluating your progress, of course.
Conclusion ⌛
Yeah, making money on Clapper is that easy! Create an account, figure out what you want, and start doing it. Literally from day one, you can monetize and start making money from your content. Find what works best for you, make sure your audience knows about it, and check your progress as you grow. You’ll be well on your way to cashing out.
