All an MCN does is take a percentage of your revenue in exchange for.. Well, pretty much nothing. Nothing you can't do on your own. The only advantage they provide is giving you more "protection" in a sense, if you're a big YouTuber with over a million subs. If you bring in the revenue, they'll treat you like a valued part of the network and help you get verified and protected from unreasonable copyright claims. If you were to join multiple networks, bye bye revenue. YouTube takes 45% of your revenue already, leaving you with 55%. And then a network would take a percentage of that 55%. Add in lots of networks, and you'll probably end up with only 5% or less of your revenue. Would not recommend.

for me MCN are good for one reason, they give more payment options like Paypal, bank transfer...etc as i'm not able to receive money via Western Union.

Otherwise there is nothing SPECIAL about them honestly.

No, as @Jack1505 said, a channel can only be connected to 1 MCN at a time. My advice would be to monetize with adsense.
Thank you admin! i did monetize with adsense but im a little bit confused on why there is a revenue in when i opened on youtube but there is no revenue when i opened google adsense.[DOUBLEPOST=1486085616,1486085552][/DOUBLEPOST]
