Writing to Pay Off Debt

My husband and I decided that our goal is to go into 2026 with no debt (except for our mortgage), and I am challenging myself to write at least one article a day to try and contribute to this goal.

I talked yesterday about how content creation scared me, but I decided to give it a try on Flip. Why Flip? Well, no one that I personally know is on that app, so it does ease my fears a bit.

Flip originally started off as a shop-and-review type social media that gives discounts on products that you can earn by watching others' videos, and then you turn around and make video reviews that you can earn actual money from.

When TikTok went dark for a couple of days, Flip decided to really lean into normal content that they call "clips" instead of being solely about the product reviews called "flips". You still have to make at least one purchase to unlock the ability to upload clips, but their payment structure hasn't changed as far as I know.

Your videos are eligible from the first day that you receive your first order, as there is no minimum follower count, minimum post count, or minimum view count. There is a 3-second unique view rule, but that is it. They claim the pay rate is up to $30 per 1k views, but as far as I know, there is no way to see your individual pay rate.

The catch? Your videos are only monetized for 30 days. Day 31 and you get 200 views? You won't get paid.

Your flips are also available for commission pay, which they claim is up to 15%. I have not had any commission earnings, so I cannot comment on this.

The other thing that this app has is "On The House" earnings that allows you to get free stuff with every order.

There are four tiers to On The House, and you automatically start at silver.

Silver gets you $0.50 for every $1 spent of free items, and this is where you start. As long as you post flips of the free items you receive, there is no way to move down.

Gold is the next tier, and it gets you $1 for every $1 spent. To move up, you have 90 days to post 7 videos and get 10k views, and you have to maintain those metrics or else you will be demoted. Creators claim that posting at least once a day will get you there easily, but I have not been able to confirm this.

Platinum is next, and it gets you $2.50 for every $1 spent, and its requirements are 15 videos and 25k views in a 90-day period.

Icon is the final tier, and it gets you $4 for every $1 spent, and the requirements are 45 videos and 100k views.

There is a limit of $1,000 On The House per order, and there are limited number of items that are eligible for On The House, but if you are seriously making money on this app, then that is a great feature.

Flip claims there is "no censoring and no agenda" in their marketing, and from what I can tell, the only censorship on your content is when your account gets flagged as a bot, so I guess that isn't terrible. I haven't been on this app for that long, so I might have a better opinion later on, but for now, it seems like a good place to get into content creation for a newbie.

The videos that are currently on there are not intimidating like they are on other social media, and the community seems supportive. It seems like everyone on there is there for the same reason: good deals and to get paid. I haven't seen anything too negative on there like I have on TikTok and especially on Instagram.

If you're on the app, check me out @tshelbi and let me know your experience.
