I've Got It
Ok. so I got a contract for fullscreen and I was really excited as i'm sure most of you were when you guys got accepted. I haven't signed the contract yet because i'm a little scared. I just want to make sure I'm making the right move. I don't know if this is the samething but I am already a youtube partner. My main question is what can fullscreen do for me that being a youtube partner can't besides having the banner above your channel and the gorilla thing? That's pretty much all i've been hearing all day. what scares me the most is them taking ownership of half my channel. what if I mess up? Part of me wants to sign because if I don't i feel like I will lose out on a great opportunity. and the other part is saying DON"T DO IT! because it may ruin everything I worked hard for!!!! give me some advice guys..... maybe i'm a little too worried. thanks
 
What do you mean by ownership of half your channel? Your channel is yours. The only thing they do is place ads on your videos so you can make money. If you're really concerned get a lawyer or someone with a legal background who understands contract/entertainment law to look over your contract. Don't rush into anything. Take your time to decide because it is a commitment and you need to make good on your part of the contract.
 
first off they will not get any ownership of your channel for Fullscreen gives you all rights to your content and you retain them throughout the contract.

there aren't that many benefits to partnership nowadays. The gorilla campaigns can help to give you more money but often staying with adsense can get you more money than most of the time.

Unless your channel is getting well over 2000 views a day I don't recommend partnering but that is my opinion.
 
You're wise to think about it before signing it. I'm with Fullscreen and I can say that I can't be happier with what they have provided me with. Whether it be the library of music or their support.

I also agree, as always with VlogRays.

They have been awesome to me, although I cannot report on earnings as the beginning of the year is always bust.

BTW I recommend a 70/30 split or higher.
 
ok. thank you for your response

Thank you for your response! But just out of curiosity..... What happens if I do go ahead and sign with less than 2000 views a day?

Oh lol!! that's totally fine. I'm not getting paid yet anyway. I was just hoping that they helped your page grow in some way shape or form. I've been working real hard as I'm sure everyone else has to get my channel views and subs up. I was just hoping for that extra push!

Probably nothing bad, at the worst, You will make less money than you expect.
