New Fullscreen partner needing help!

Carl Hinton said:
On a side note, I just emailed my own manager to see if they do any kind of marketing for their smaller partners. Obviously i'm expecting a polite "no" :)

Just wondering though, since I'm not concerned with the money side of things, am I likely to get pushed more by them if i ask to be switched to a "100% goes to Fullscreen" contract, or will it still not be worth their time?

Money doesn't really enter to the equation at lower levels at all. If you want to be promoted by Fullscreen, work with your hub. Get to know your hub manager and participate in hub promotions/activities-be active and upload videos to the hub channel.

If you are not concerned about the money side then stop thinking about getting partnered. Partnership is a financial arrangement first and foremost. It's not a nice nice let's promote everyones videos arrangement.

But if all your doing this for is money then quit now because you need to be doing it because you enjoy it.

That's horse s**t. The primary above all others reason to partner is monetary. Hopefully people have chosen a video style that they enjoy and have a passion for but anyone who tells you networks are here to promote your content is lying through their teeth or ignorant. This is why promotion is never guaranteed in the contracts.

This is the monetization forum of YTTalk after all.

It's not horse s**t most YouTubers didn't decide to make videos because they thought of money, they did it because it is fun![DOUBLEPOST=1374001841,1374000602][/DOUBLEPOST]So has anyone got some tips for me??

Ensure that you consider the context of quoting a fullscreen rep in a monetization forum. You're correct that many (I wouldn't go so far as to say most these days) YouTubers didn't start doing this to make money, however those posting in this particular portion of the YTTalk site have an interest in that aspect of YouTube.

And frankly, the attitude of "doing this for money" completely discounts the fact that many people selected something that they have a passion for in hopes of turning it into a career. It not so vaguely implies that they hate what they're doing and are only out for cash which is ridiculous.

Further to that, whether the money is a concern or simply recognition from outsiders, NOBODY uploads from YouTube just because they enjoy making videos. If those videos got zero views and had no future, expect even the most passionate YouTuber to quit pretty fast. There is no reason to go through the large amount of work editing, rendering and uploading without some hope/expectation of people watching. Some simply have lower aspirations than others.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with aspiring to a career on YouTube. Partnership is one part along some of the paths to get there. I'm always concerned when people shoot for partnership but aren't concerned about money. That's the entire point of the contract. It's not about promotion (which is always vaguely hinted at but never properly outlined)

I completely agree with you and most YouTuber's enjoy the feedback more then most of it I believe :)
