How To Build A Clipping Page That Prints 4M Views A Month With Hermes Agent (Step-by-step guide)

There’s an Instagram page called tjrmindset. 43,000 followers. It posts about nine times a day, and every post is a clip of one guy talking.

The page doesn’t film anything or write anything. It takes one creator’s long videos, cuts out the best 30 seconds, and reposts them. That’s the whole business, and it works.

I pulled the page apart. What it is, why it grows, and the exact stack to run your own version without sitting in an editor all day. By the end you’ll have a clipping page that posts itself.

The page on the table

tjrmindset is a clip page for TJR, a day trading creator with a paid program.

The bio doesn’t hide the model: “@tjr Clips. DMs open for clipping inquiries. Learn directly from TJR.” The link in bio points at TJR’s paid funnel.

The page is 1,590 posts deep and posts around nine times a day. Recent clips land anywhere between 500 and 12,000 views, most of them in the low thousands. Not every clip hits, and the page doesn’t need them to.

That last part matters more than it sounds. tjrmindset isn’t a content page. It’s a distribution page. It owns attention for a creator without having to be that creator.

Why the model actually works

Start with the blank page problem, because this model doesn’t have one. TJR already did the hard part, being worth watching for two hours straight. The page just finds the 30 seconds that pop.

The audience is borrowed, but it’s still real. People who watch TJR clips follow the page, and people who follow the page click the link in bio.

Supply is the part founders underrate. One creator who posts long videos is months of clip material sitting there for free. You will run out of hours in the day long before you run out of source footage.

Then there’s money, and there are two doors. The link in bio feeds a paid program, where you take a cut or a flat fee. The open DMs sell clipping work to other creators who saw your page and want one of their own. Same audience, two ways to bill it.

No filming, no face, no personal brand required. That’s the whole appeal.

What actually gets clipped

Scroll the page and the gap between a 12,000-view clip and a 500-view clip isn’t random.

The clips that pop aren’t the educational ones. They’re the emotional spikes. A wild moment, a hot take, a big reaction. The captions on the winners say things like “Wild” and “Bros tripping.” The ones that die are the calm, useful, informative clips.

The page isn’t clipping information. It’s clipping feeling.

That’s the real skill in this business, and it’s the one part you don’t get to automate. The stack below removes the labor. It can’t pick the moment for you, so that judgment stays your job.

Why most clip pages never get big

The thing that caps a clip page isn’t ideas. It’s hands.

Run a page like tjrmindset by hand and here’s your day: watch a long video, scrub for moments, cut each one, caption it, export it, post it. Then do the whole thing again for the next platform.

One person doing that maxes out around three to five clips a day before the day is gone. tjrmindset posts nine. On a single platform that’s already a full-time job. Across four platforms it just isn’t possible by hand, not for one person.

I found this out the dumb way. I grew a channel to 168,000 views in four weeks and got cocky. Then I tried to hold that pace on willpower, posted way too many shorts way too fast, got the channel shadowbanned, watched the views die, and deleted it.

The lesson wasn’t “post less.” It was that I was the bottleneck, and bottlenecks break. Any page that depends on you grinding will cap out at exactly how much you can grind.

So the fix isn’t more discipline. It’s a system that does the grinding for you.

The stack that removes the cap

A clipping page is really just a pipeline. Long video goes in. Captioned clips come out, get scheduled, get posted everywhere, every day.

Every step in that pipeline can run without you. Three tools, one job each.

Vugola does the clipping. Drop in a long video, it finds the moments, cuts them, and burns the captions in.This is the part that replaces the editor.

Postiz does the scheduling. One dashboard for every platform. It’s open source, it has a real API, and it has an agent skill, which is the part that matters in a second.

→ postiz.com

Hermes Agent is the brain. Free, open source, from Nous Research. On its own it’s just an agent. The reason it’s here is that it can hold the other two tools and run them in order, so the whole pipeline fires from one instruction instead of you clicking through three apps.

Vugola cuts, Postiz posts, and Hermes runs the line between them.

The build, step by step

Eight steps. You wire it once, then run it from your phone.

1. Pick a creator, not a niche.

You want one person who already puts out long content constantly. Podcasts, streams, long videos, whatever. They need an audience that would actually want clips. TJR for trading. Find yours. The creator is the engine here, and if you pick a weak one nothing downstream will save you.

2. Grab the back catalog.

Months of their long videos already exist. That’s your runway, and it means you’re not sitting around waiting on new uploads to start posting.

3. Get your three keys.

A Vugola account and API key. A Postiz account and API key. Hermes installed locally.

4. Install Hermes Agent.

This is the harness everything else runs inside. Open source and quick to set up. Follow the install steps in the Hermes docs.

5. Wire Vugola into Hermes.

Add Vugola as a tool the agent can call, so it can hand Vugola a long video and get captioned clips back without you touching the app.

6. Wire Postiz into Hermes. Add the Postiz agent skill so the agent can schedule and publish:

npx skills add gitroomhq/postiz-agent

7. Connect Hermes to Telegram. Now you control the whole thing from a text message. No terminal once it’s running.

8. Send the one message. You text the agent a video link, and it handles the rest:

You: here's today's long video [link]

Hermes:

-> pulls the video

-> sends it to Vugola, gets back captioned clips

-> hands the clips to Postiz

-> schedules them across every platform for the week

You didn’t open a single app. That’s the page running itself.

The real numbers (honest version)

The title says 4 million views a month. Here’s the honest math, because a number you can’t back up is worth nothing.

tjrmindset, by hand, on basically one platform, clears somewhere around 1.5 million views a month. That’s the real number for that page today.

So 4M isn’t tjrmindset’s number. It’s the ceiling the same model reaches once you fix the two things holding that page back: it posts to basically one platform, and a human is still doing the cutting.

Here’s the math on the automated version:

 
1 clip            -> posted to 4 platforms = 4 posts
 
7 clips a day     -> 28 posts a day        = ~840 posts/month
 
most posts        -> a few thousand views
 
some posts        -> 30k to 80k
 
a few posts       -> 300k+
 
---------------------------------------------
 
ceiling at full volume -> ~4M views/month
 
Run this for one month and you won’t hit 4M. You’ll hit a fraction of it, because the page is new and the algorithm doesn’t trust you yet. 4M is the target the pipeline is built to reach over time, not a week-one promise. Anyone telling you week one looks like month twelve is selling you something.
 
Even with that said, this is still the best opportunity in the creator economy right now. You just don’t get to skip the climb.
 
When this works, and when it doesn’t
 
Do this when:
 
- The creator posts long content on a real schedule.
 
- You’ll actually run the volume. The system handles the labor, but you still pick the creator and watch what lands.
 
- You want distribution leverage without building a personal brand.
 
Skip it when:
 
- You want money this week. This is a 90-day-plus build.
 
- Your creator has no long-form catalog. No source, no clips.
 
- You won’t stay consistent even after the work is removed. The agent posts for you. It can’t care for you.

### TL;DR
 
A clipping page is a distribution business.
 
You don't create. You cut and repost one creator's best moments.
 
tjrmindset -> 43k followers, ~9 posts/day, money through link in bio + paid clipping DMs.
 
The cap on a clip page is human hands, not ideas.
 
The stack:
 
  Vugola  -> clips and captions
 
 Postiz  -> schedules across every platform
 
 Hermes  -> runs the whole pipeline from one message
 
Wire it once. Then one text spins up a week of posts everywhere.
 
4M views/month is the ceiling at full volume, not week one.
 
tjrmindset does ~1.5M by hand. The system is how you pass it.
 
### Build the stack
