Who ran this campaign: it was set up and paid for by a Ssemble customer. Ssemble has no affiliation with Sam Sulek, and this post doesn't imply his involvement or endorsement. We're sharing it because the numbers show what a small clipping budget can do on a popular creator's content.
The setup
- Budget: $100 at $1 per 1,000 views, so the campaign was built to deliver 100,000 views.
- Source: Sam Sulek's YouTube channel. Clippers could cut moments from any of his videos.
- Who could join: clippers in any country.
- Launch: October 2, 2026. The first clip was submitted less than an hour after launch.
- Finish: the 100,000 views the budget paid for were reached on October 6, and the final count came in 6% higher.

What a $100 budget showed
- Speed: the first clip arrived less than an hour after launch, and the full budget was delivered in under five days.
- More than paid for: 106,111 verified views against the 100,000 the budget bought.
- Spread: 120 clippers across three platforms, so the result didn't depend on any single account.
