Better joining a different network?

Hello,

first off, sorry if this has been asked already, but I did take a look at the other threads and I didn't really find the answer I am looking for.
Anyway, I've been partnered with TGN for almost one year by now. Didn't have any problems, payments are good, but I've heard that I could join better networks which are "more generous" for what concerns payments. A guy talked me about Curse but I don't know.

I'm not really sure about this, so I'd kindly ask your opinion if I should just stay with TGN or join someone else.
I have 4730 subs and 12k daily views.

Thanks in advance for any help you could provide.

Thanks.
May I ask you what's the problem with Machinima etc.?

Machinima has the reputation of poor CPM and long contracts. In my personal experience talking with their partners and recruiters these complaints were supported.

The factors you want to find out about are:

Rev share
Contract length
CPM (they don't have to tell you, but try to find out as much as possible)
reputation (any issues?)
Support - how often, how fast, etc
Other perks - Channel art creation? thumbnails? Signing bonus? Guaranteed revenue? sliding revenue shares?

I ended up talking with dozens of networks (mostly gaming, as that is my channel too, but some others as well) when researching networks before signing. I've written up a post that might be informative over here: http://yttalk.com/threads/i-just-go...earch-have-you-done-yours-guide-advice.52842/

I ended up signing with a network called Omnia for 3 months. My CPM slightly more than doubled right off the bat. I'm very happy where I am, and definitely feel like networks are a major minefield.
 
Well your numbers aren't bad, they do give you something to work with. So you could just go out an negotiate with a few networks and see what they are offering. Being open and telling them right away that you are with someone else but are checking what others have to offer you even works to your advantage cause they'll know that they have competition and need to make a decent offer. And in the end you can still go to TGN, if you like it there and tell them: hey guys, I like you, but I've got these offers that are hard to resist, how about renegotiating my contract...

Ha, you say it could work? :D
I've just talked to one of Curse Support members and they told me that they are offering a 90% revenue share, while TGN is giving the 60%.

In your personal experience, what can you guys tell me about Curse?
