Battle between two networks - which option would be more beneficial?

[Nicasia]

Hey!

I have not yet reached the requirements to join either of the networks in question, but I'm just trying to plan ahead. My channel is a gaming channel and my commentary is in my mother tongue, Finnish.

Network A
- is focused solely on gaming content
- offers higher revenue
- is international and focused on English content

Network B
- is not focused on any particular type of content
- offers lesser revenue
- is a Finnish network (subnetwork), in fact the first and only Finnish network so far

Which one would be better for me? My number one goal is to grow my channel, and since I speak Finnish in my videos, I feel network B would be a better option, but maybe only until "the ball rolls itself" sort of, or I feel I have achieved enough in this country (if that's even possible) and switch to English content, or something. What do you think?

Why do you think Network B is going to be more beneficial to growing your channel? To they offer anything that Network A that doesn't that will help you with that?

I have to note that it is rare for MCNs to give you any growth help that involves manual input unless you have a large channel, so growth via an MCN would usually involve tools that you would be able to use for analyse/ automation of growing aspects of your channel. So if that is what you need, you need to find out what sort of tools each network offers for that purpose. Fullscreen's Creator Platform or BroadBandTV's Viso Catalyst probably have the best tools for growth of all MCNs currently.

I think network B would be better for channel growth, because it's much smaller than network A, yet the only Finnish network out there, so if I was to gain any attention through the network, I think that would attract more attention from Finnish people, who actually understand what I say in my videos (although some of them have English subtitles).

But is Network B actually offering you anything to help you gain more attention?

Network B would probably be better for you since your channel is mainly Finnish. If later on you do more English content, you could think about switching over to a more English centered network.

Network A definitely, just because a network is based in your country or language doesn't necessarily mean it's best for you... if you're thinking they're better based on channels to collaborate, you don't need to be in their network to collaborate with Finnish channels, besides there are plenty of 3rd party platforms like FameBit that you can use. What's more important is the higher revenue share and the gaming focused element of it in my opinion.
