So from what you are saying, it seems that they are the same but Creator X is better and it requires less views. The why would anybody partner with fullscreen if creator x is better and easier to get into?
The answer is subjective and obviously we're biased to Creator X. We're definitely not saying we're better than going straight to Fullscreen. (see below) We were just listing the minor differences that we know of and, yes, our qualifying criteria is a little more lenient at this time to cater to emerging creators.
As far as creators and going directly to Fullscreen... there could be any number of reasons: Fullscreen's brand recognition, offered a different deal, not aware of Creator X, etc, etc, etc.
they won't give the number away when they don't know how your channel will do, and it also depends on the niche, A LOT, and demographics play a role as well.
This is right on. Each creator through Creator X (Fullscreen) is paid based on
their actual earnings. There are just too many factors to give anyone a good estimate. (niche, demographics, etc)
The only thing we can add is that Fullscreen does have an ad sales team in addition to YouTube's system which could affect CPM (RPM) in a positive way. All networks can do this, but not every network does. ( Our understanding is that applies to Fullscreen
as a whole... meaning all partners no matter if directly under Fullscreen or in one of their sub-networks including Creator X. )
Because their cut is smaller then the one from Creator X?
This is not necessarily true.
Creator X split is geared toward emerging creators, but that does not mean the offer from Fullscreen would be different. Depends on a lot of factors honestly. Also, see below.
@Everyone
The main takeaway is that anyone joining any network should research
all their options (networks) and make the best decision for their channel and goals.
Whether that includes Creator X, Fullscreen, or another network! Once they've narrowed down their options... applying to their top 2 - 3 choices can also be helpful to see what offers they get.
Hope that helps!
