Most beginners clip the wrong 15 seconds.

They grab the funniest bit, or the loudest bit, and wonder why it dies at 400 views.

Before you even open the editor, watch the original once and mark the moment a stranger would actually stop scrolling. That's usually a face, a claim, or a punchline — not the intro, not the outro, not the logo sting.

Then cut 3–7 seconds around that moment. Add captions. Export. Submit.

Your first 10 clips are practice. Your next 10 are when you start seeing which campaigns actually pay beginners.

If you're still lurking in Facebook groups waiting for "the secret," stop. Pick one campaign. Cut ten clips. Post the best one here and I'll tell you what I'd change.
