How it works

5 steps to paid. One more to win

Go top to bottom. Each step is short. Skipping one is the usual reason a video misses the bar. Step 6 opens once you're approved: post your video and boost your shot at the $200.

Try Commex

Commex finds the posts on X where people are stuck on the problem a product solves, drafts a helpful reply, and a real person posts it. Nobody trusts a brand talking about itself. Everybody trusts a real person saying "honestly, use this."

Open Commex and start your free trial. Your video shows your own trial screens, so do this first. productclank.com/commex

Open Commex

Pick one person

Talk to one of these people like you are them, or bring your own take. Videos that speak to everyone land with no one.

Social media manager

"I scroll X all day hunting for the right moment, then rewrite one reply six times so it doesn't sound like an ad."

Be in every conversation without being there.

AI-era marketing manager

"With AI I'm apparently five people now. Tracking every conversation on X is a full-time job by itself."

Hand off the job you have no time for.

Solo founder

"I can't be in every thread. And when I plug my own product it looks desperate."

Stop shilling. Let other people say it.

Your own take

None of these is you? Make it about the person you know best: you, your audience, your niche. Same scorecard, same prizes.

Your angle, your audience. Keep the core line.

Boost it. Win $200

Approved? Your $20 is yours. Now post the video wherever your audience is (TikTok, Instagram, X or LinkedIn). We give bonus points for reach: the more people your posts reach, the better your chances at the $200.

  1. Post your approved video on TikTok, Instagram, X or LinkedIn, as a native video, not a link. Use the account where your audience is. One is enough; each extra platform adds its own reach.
  2. Tag @productclank, add #ad and your platform's AI label if it applies. Keep the posts public so we can count them.
  3. Paste the link to each post below. We count reach before we pick the winners.

Unlocks on approval. Once your video is approved, the box for your post link (TikTok, Instagram, X or LinkedIn) shows up right here.

Questions

The fine print

Do I only get paid if I win?

No. Every video that meets the bar earns $20 for the effort, the moment it's approved. Winning the $200 comes on top of that.

Can I make it with AI?

Yes. AI presenters and AI voices are welcome. Tick "Made with AI" when you enter. Two rules: don't clone a real person's face or voice, and the Commex screens must be real, from your own free trial.

How do I get paid?

When your video is approved, your reward is ready to claim right away. You don't wait for the round to end. It's paid in USDC, a digital dollar, to your wallet. If you connected one, it goes there; otherwise to the ProductClank wallet created for you when you sign in. You can send it to any exchange that supports USDC on Base.

Can I get cash instead?

Once you've earned $100 or more, you can ask for cash payouts from your entry panel. We're adding bank payouts based on how many people ask.

Does posting it myself help me win?

Yes. Once your video is approved, post it on your own account (TikTok, Instagram, X or LinkedIn, any one counts) and add the link in step 6. Reach on your posts earns bonus points toward the $200, on top of the scorecard. Keep the posts public and add #ad.

How many times can I enter?

One video in review at a time. If it's declined, fix it and send it again. If it's approved, you can send another one. Each approved video earns $20.

When does the round end?

When 20 videos are approved. Then we pick the best one for the $200, which you claim the same way.

Who owns the video?

You do. By entering, you let ProductClank and Commex show your video on this page with your handle, post approved videos on their own social accounts crediting you, and run them as paid ads. You're free to post it on your own accounts too. Add #ad and your platform's AI label if it applies.

Who reviews it?

A person watches every video and scores it against the scorecard above.
