I'm looking into joining the Collective Digital Studio network. Can anyone tell me anything about them?

Also, what is some of the most important questions I should ask them? (or any network)
 
It's hard to say when you don't give any information about your channel.

Here are a few items that I would make sure to discuss with any network.

1. Will I still have access to my YouTube Analytics/Estimated Earnings information? If the answer is no, then I would not even consider that network under any condition. Make sure that your access to that information is in the contract.

2. Length of term. 1 year? 2 years? How much notice do they need if you want to leave?

3. Are they only an ad serving network or do they look for other monetization opportunities? Product placement, channel sponsorship, etc.

4. What is the agreed split? 70/30? 80/20? Are there any other hidden fees or charges?
 
Collective is very good, they used to have Shane Dawson with them a year ago or so and I believe they are like Big Frame. Check them out if you haven't already, they aim to go beyond YouTube revenue and try to get you sponsorships and brand deals, their site is: http://www.bigfra.me/.

Defiantly one of the top MCNs in my view.

CPM is good, they don't look you in for too long.

Just make sure that you include brand integrations in the contract, 4-6 a month guaranteed.

Where do you get your info? Collective does not focus on pre-roll ad sales, so their CPM is strictly average. Their contracts tend to be longer than I'm comfortable with. And 4-6 brand deals per month? That would ruin a channel.

They offered a channel I was dealing with 3 month contract, that's not bad and they quoted a 13$ CPM.

You don't use all of them lol, you pick one when you want it.
From talking to the manager of some UK vloggers, some of them look for as much as 20 monthly.
