What do you want in a new YT Network?

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.

You should make your own network ;)
Take everything others are doing bad and make it good in yours :p
Plus use you above strategy :p
 
To say you need money,workers in your network to stand.
  1. You need Recruiters
  2. Workers that pay partners
  3. Workers that support Partners
  4. If the network can handle gaming partners then need licenses.
To get those workers:
  1. Pay a normal price ( Like partner support - 3k/month , that pays partners ( Most important by finnancial ways ) 5k and so..
  2. Be trustable
  3. Always pay "THE DEAL"
I would reccomending becoming a VN ( Sub-Network ) first. As Sanect CEO made his VN with ZoominGames ,and now he has his own YouTube MCN - ForelaDigital .
You can do this ! But try firstly from the easier way.

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.

This sounds pretty cool :D I've seen quite a few big YouTubers talk about network providing this kind of support to their channel. But since most (not all) of them don't really put that much effort overally on their channel , why do they want to put even less effort in and get everything done by someone else?

I don't really follow any massive YouTubers nor know the production details behind them... if you do, please link me - but my impression and guesstimate is a fair number of large youtubers have decent sized production staff to do all the busy work for them and they are effectively the actors/voice/face of the channel rather than the editors, graphic designers, etc.[DOUBLEPOST=1369939086,1369938964][/DOUBLEPOST]

I was talking about huge gaming channels mostly, which are operated by one person. Most of them only have to do a commentary over some gameplay or something , still they get editing and thumbnails done by someone else. Some have mentioned in videos that their network do it for them. So zero efffort and they cash-in big time , rediculous if you ask me

example EugeneYackle . 35 total videos, he gets his videos and thumbnails done from someone else and makes around 60k a year. Channel only 3 months old, he got lots of subs from promotion , 0 effort
 
Yackle still has to record commentary and potentially edit. Feel free to believe you work harder than he does, but it's doubtful.
 
I'd like to see a network that actually produced videos that got creators to collaborate. For example, rather than just offering a platform for YouTubers to collaborate, they could say, we're going to do an arrangement of XXXXX song, anyone who wants to play a bit send it in and we'll put it all together. This and any other ideas that allow networks to promote a lot of small channels without losing the interest of the people they are promoting to.

On the whole I can see why networks don't promote all small channels, because there are a lot of them and their promotion is only valuable as long as people actually watch what they promote, so they have to maintain a consistently high quality in the content that they advertise. So the next step has to be a way of promoting large quantities of small channels without risking advertising "bad" (subjective I know...) content.

He doesn't have to record anything , the point of view in his videos and the "recorder" is another guy who is also his editor (he is recording Yackles voice too) , look at the description "Edited by..." "Thumbnail by..." .

Does he work? Yes . Does he work hard? Not even close . Is he worth 300+k subs in 2 months (which he got thanks to promotion) , with the amount of effoty he puts? Doubtfull

The fact that his videos are awesome is irrelevant to effort (and 70k $ a year)

In my opinion it all comes down to:

Are you an artist? Or are you an entertainer?

I would say it is fine for entertainers to do the above. Artists generally like to micromanage and perfect things their way. I as a consumer don't care how invested the person is as long as the quality remains high. If they can get better quality by outsourcing editing to someone else, I'm fine with that.
