Need Advice on what direction to take the channel

Hey reader!

I'm in a bit of a pickle. I'm not sure what direction to take my channel!

Here's the situation:
I'm currently sitting at 2,535 subscribers, and I get about 1.4~1.6k views per day. I've gotten offers to partner with Machinima, Acifin, RPM, TGN, but I haven't accepted any of the offers. I'm an AtomicPartners hopeful, trying to get on that network (big dream, I know), but obviously that won't happen overnight, so I'm thinking that partnering with one of these networks will help grow the channel and get me out there.

I don't know which one though. I've done research, and generally all of these networks seem to get the same amount of positive and negative feedback (except for Machinima, that's all basically negative), so can you guys help me narrow it down?

I'm not in it for the CPM, I want to know what network I should apply/partner with to grow my channel the fastest! (Or maybe even stay unpartnered)

Thanks in advance!
 
Acifin has no idea what's going on. At least Machinima has liscenses. TGN is obsessive about control (just check their forums) and don't have any liscenses either I think. RPM doesn't have any lisences either. Although if you only play Minecraft, this shouldn't matter much. So if it's only Minecraft, all you have to do is choose according to the best contract you get. :D
 
I'm not partnered with any of em so this is just things I've heard:
Machinima cut a lot of its pay, so I'm not sure about the CPM, but I'm pretty sure it's fixed, which isn't a good thing.
I've heard fairly good things about TGN
Haven't heard much at all about RPM
and Acifin is just bleh.

Should I go with Machinima? I know their pay has been going down the drain, but would they help my channel grow the most efficiently? :eek:

Yeah I've heard Machinima's pay is pretty awful nowadays for the Affiliates, but I don't care much. I want to get popular, so would they help the most?
And yeah, Acifin looks like one of those obscure, lesser known networks that are new to the scene, haha :D

I would try and go for IGN, a lot of big gamers I watch are signed with them, and they have good pay (I assume)

It's my dreaaam to partner with them. They're like the only premier network around these days (besides TGS) so yes they'll pay a lot. But the thing is, they look for networks with like 100k subs and thousands and thousands of views daily. So I'm assuming it will be a year or more until I get a reputable stance in the community. So should I partner with a network now to accelerate the pace at which I grow? That's my main concern :eek:

I would go with TGN then, they don't have a lock in, meaning (I believe- research this a bit more :p) that you can leave when you want, as many networks have a 2 year lock in. :)
 
Very few networks will actually help you grow in the way you are thinking.. partnering with a network doesn't mean you will suddenly get more subs/views etc. it means you may be given tools to help you but really the growth side of things (promotion etc) is completely down to you, yes some networks do promote people but its pretty rare.

The 4 networks you stated are honestly not the best in the world either.. RPM has just started accepting everyone, TGN/Acifin are both under BBTV.. Machinima can be okay I guess but if they offered you a 3 year lock in I'd be pretty skeptical about joining them.
 
Machinima is average, I wouldn`t recommend them...
TGN is alright, they could give you exposure if you got to be a director
Avoid Acifin, it`s just a network running on top of 12 yr old trial recruiters...
I`d stay away from RPM also ;)

Go for :
Leet Network
Vultra Gaming
ZoominTV
ForelaDigital
Nsquared
