## Why budget life matters

Every clipper in a campaign is paid from one budget. Once it is used, views that come after are not paid, so a clip posted late in a short campaign can earn nothing. How long budgets last tells you how fast to move after a campaign opens.

## Budget life by type

Days from launch to end of the campaigns that ended in the last 90 days, contests left out. 38% of the clipping ones ended within 7 days.

**Budget life by campaign type**

| Type | Campaigns | Median days | Within 7 days |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Clipping | 413 | 13 | 38% |
| UGC | 43 | 36 | 19% |
| Logo | 28 | 19 | 25% |
| Music | 244 | 4 | 70% |

## Budget life by size

Clipping campaigns by the total budget their clipping platform showed. A bigger budget draws more clippers, so it does not always last longer.
