Too many options for partnership

[MrShawnTRods]

Hey guys,
my channel has been getting quite decent views since the release of Pokemon X and Y.

Firstly, MY GOAL IS NOT MONEY BUT GROWTH! I want to grow m channel. Keep that in mind.

These are the networks that sort of accepted me:
-TGN scout contacted me
-Socialblade wants to accept
-RPM wants to accept
-Fullscreen contacted me for review
And I am sure plenty of other networks will accept me at this point.


Which one do you recommend me?

I will be posting gaming and general gaming related videos.
channel: MrShawnTRods

would appreciate the suggestions.

I'm part of TGN and I got to say I like the community. If you are looking for growth then maybe go with them but keep in mind that when you get partnered don't expect to just sit back and think that the network is gonna do all the work. Also they have a three month "trial" period where you can back out if your'e not feeling it.

did they help you gain views and grow your audience in any way ?

yes certainly it gives you some tools to grow your audience you get what you put into it. There is no network that just promotes your channel while you sit on your a** and do nothing. If you interact within the community then yes if you think you join a network and then its easymode from here on out then no.

Unless you have a very big channel, most networks are not going to promote you. They may provide some tools but that's about it.

I wasnt gonna go easy mode lol.
But would TGN be better option over socialblade(ran by RPM, I know) and RPM themselves?[DOUBLEPOST=1381659682,1381659564][/DOUBLEPOST]

Eh honestly, I haven't seen the TGN contract, but if it's fair, based on brand alone, TGN being purely gamer centric seem like a pretty good option to me.

I'd also like to say that you don't really need a partnership yet, the smaller you are the crappier the contract is!
I'd encourage you to wait a few months ^^n
Also, don't sign anything over 1 year in length if you do decide to go for it!

The only reason I want partnership at the moment is for the tools, and more social networking
but ya, more than 1 year contract sounds bad lol

Many many networks don't even really provide tools. the only tools they provide are what you can get without a network ^^.

@MrShawnTRods

No networks will promote your channel at your size, none of all, this is what people need to understand. The only exception is the likes of some networks like RPM/Socialblade, which do partner spotlights etc. but what you need to understand about this is that these people will probably wait months to be featured considering the amount of channels there are attached to their network. What most networks do however, will offer some simple tools, such as royalty-free music and other things to help with the branding of your channel, but that is about is, some offer a forum for other partners to talk and collaborate, like fullscreen or TGN, but I've noticed it merely just turns into people spamming their channel and videos hoping it will gain them some increase of views.

Anyway, do your research, if your wanting growth and promotion from a larger network, grow your channel and wait until you are of significant size, other than that, not much you can do I'm afraid.
