What do you want in a new YT Network?

I'd like to see a network that acts as a PR for vloggers who use other people's content for reviewing, meaning that it should contact the content owners and ask them for permission and stuff like that...

That gets a little tricky. Getting permission for small time content producers is quite easy, but many vlogs like to focus on bigger stuff. >.<

Specifically tricky for game reviewers since Machinima has a lot of the "in-game" rights tied up.

id quite like a network that invests its time in smaller channels, maybe it doesnt pay you, but if the network see's that you put in the work and effort to become more successful then they will promote and advertise you and help you become bigger so you can join those higher networks and turn your channel into a career

You want them to help you when you`re not making them much money so that you can leave when you`re making them money?...
That seems logical to me :p

Why would I want to leave them if they help me out and support me? More than being my business partners, they would become my friends...
 
I want a network that re-invests exactly what they get from their partners. This would work best for medium or large channels.


How this might work in a hypothetical situation:

In your first month in the network a large channel earns $1000. They are on a 80-20 contract, so $200 is kept by the network. Half of this (50%) is now allocated for use by the channel. That means $100 of the $200 is now earned by the network, however it can be allocated as the channel sees fit.

Want a website? say $100.

New graphics for channel? say $20-50.

Paid promotion of your channel on YouTube? Costs exactly what AdSense charges.

1 hour of support via skype solving an issue? $20.

Basically the channel could spend part of their network share rather than get "support" and other 'features' as their perks of being part of the network that they will never use. The network would still keep the 10% (50% of the contract) and would make a profit. If the channel didn't use the all (or any) of the $100, they would get it back in the next month's payment. Basically you only 'pay' for what you use.

I think your numbers may be a bit high but I love the concept. Personally, a better way to do it would be a matching contribution. ie a normally 80/20 contract would be switched to 75/25 and the network would put aside 10% for promotionally related materials. Yes the partner has to give up 5% earnings, but they gain a 5% match in promotion. Doesn't work as well for virtual networks though.

Virool just threw $20 at me, so now I get to play in their sandbox and see if it's a company worth using.

Yeah, the numbers were placeholders more than anything else. I or the theoretical network would need to crunch the numbers and see what ratio made both business and moral sense.
