I have read a lot of posts on YTTalks in the last 7 days alone. I figured I would post how content producers should actually chose a network. The following information below is free of crap, I am telling you the honest truth. I work for a large YouTube network ( currently the fastest growing on Youtube ) and we have less than 200 producers.
In the short part of it a network is a two way street which I think is the most common misconception I see online. In no sense of rudeness but in honest truth, what you offer to a network is just as weighed as what they offer you. I see hundreds of channels targeting huge networks when in reality they have low views and low growth. Not to degrade anyone or be rude, but when you research a network you want to sign to you should be considering what you offer them.
Lets put this in to an example. A channel getting 30,000 views per month is going to make around $30-$50 depending on all factors. Considering cuts and shares the network will usually receive $5-$10 max. In weighing this, what benefits should you receive for that $10? In the same instance what should someone receive for $100,000 with a cut?
What I am trying to get at is that what a network offers to you should always be weighed to what you offer them. In this case you need to look less at the network name or network size and more at what they actually offer. When choosing a network from the hundreds of options keep that in mind and I think it will make your findings more reasonable.
I am interested to hear responses. Let me know your thoughts on it. Everyone has an opinion they are entitled to.
TO CLARIFY: I am referring to all aspects of benefits. Promotion, features, CPM's. Everything.
