I'm fully partnered with YouTube on USNFilms, but PDKFilms is only an individual video partner with YouTube (ads are on the videos, but I don't have channel customization options and such).
What happened for you to lose a lot of views? We can't give advice if we don't know the full picture.
I don't understand how I can make more money with Fullscreen. ..They also told me that Fullscreen has a special partnership with YouTube, allowing Fullscreen channels to get more premium ads that have a higher CPM. There is nothing that says this in the contract. Is this true?
No matter if you are direct with Google Adsense or with a network, Google gets their cut of the ad revenue. If you go with a network, you have to give up an agreed upon percentage for their services. It is up to you to decide if those services are worth surrendering a percentage. As for FS having a special partnership with YouTube for premium ads with higher CPM, that's some pretty fancy salesman talk if you ask me. You will not get enough of a higher CPM to cover the percentage that you are surrendering to FS. Even worse, the network gets their percentage whether they serve ads for your channel or not.
The rep also told me that there are "Gorilla Campaigns" available once a week
FS may have Gorilla campaigns but you will only see the ones that they make eligible for you channel. It is very deceitful for them to say that they have Gorilla Campaigns every week when you won't be eligible for beauty or other offerings.
It also seems like all the Fullscreen people on this channel are small
So should I join? Will I make more with Fullscreen?
I'm not small. I'm #14 in the network (according to SocialBlade score).
Over 8 million views a month. I do more than my fair share of generating views.

As to whether you should join or not, that is your decision.[DOUBLEPOST=1391657964,1391657778][/DOUBLEPOST]
see, this is what i've been wondering a lot recently... thumbnails and such are cool, but is it worth it if theyre going to take a percent of your earnings? i would go ahead and say no, dont partner
You don't have to be part of a network anymore to have the ability to create thumbnails.[DOUBLEPOST=1391658046][/DOUBLEPOST]
You should ask if you can test it for one month and then if you get payed more, you will stay, but if you get payed less, you will leave.
One month isn't enough time to make a decision. I would suggest 90 or 120 days.[DOUBLEPOST=1391658334][/DOUBLEPOST]
...adsense might offer an 80/20 split, while fullscreen would have a 90/10 split.
Oh no, this is very wrong. There is an absolute percentage that Adsense takes. It is reported to be 45%. That leaves 55% to the Channel/Creator. If somebody signs to FS (like yourself), Adsense still takes their 45% but out of the remaining 55%, a percentage has to be shared with the network.[DOUBLEPOST=1391658684][/DOUBLEPOST]
Hmm. I am trying to decide if I should partner with Full screen as well. I have done plenty of research and I know that youtube only gives you about 3% of the money you should be making. But networks like fullscreen give you 70% and RPM give you 80%
I just noticed that you bumped up a year-old topic but thanks for searching the forums first =)
If you look at your Analytics, you can see exactly how much they are keeping. You should be receiving 55%. If you join a network, FS or otherwise, Google still gets their same cut but the network gets their cut out of your 55%.
