Podcast Clip Editing for Social Media: A Business Built on AI Tools

Podcasters need short clips for Instagram and TikTok but don't have the time. You create them using AI tools.

📌 About the model

This service involves taking a podcast episode, using AI tools (OpusClip, Descript, Munch, Submagic) to identify the most engaging passages, and producing short 9:16 clips with auto-captions, branding elements and formatting suited to TikTok, Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts. The client receives finished video files ready to upload. Work is typically structured in packages — for example, five clips from one episode at a fixed price. Once your workflow is set up, the process is largely repeatable and scalable.

Podcasters record hours of content, but short, punchy moments win on social media. The problem is that manually editing and captioning a single episode can take several hours — and most podcasters simply can't fit that in alongside recording and promotion.
