How Does a MCN being Created?

[Carter]

ohhh, that is why so many sub network out there, so its easier to get approve? but under their network I cannot establish my own rule right?

It's not that it is easier, its to show YouTube that you know what you are doing and a brand already with Google is willing to "sponsor" you.

do I need any capital to establish an MCN?

You're going to need capital regardless of which road you take. To be considered, you need to be a registered business (LLC at the least), a fully staffed team (no one man army), and got some money to invest into your team and partners. Going through a pre-established MCN can only help you get through the door. What you do after that comes out of your pocket.

so what if I would like to start my own without under any main MCN, what Google will judge?

If you do not want to go down the sub network route you would need to show YouTube you have 75,000 hours of watch time over the last 90 days on your channels so you will be eligible to get direct email support so you can ask them about becoming a direct MCN

I'm curious, if you didn't think of it as a business (when you made this topic) then what did you think?[DOUBLEPOST=1412521513,1412520911][/DOUBLEPOST]

No, YouTube will not judge however you need to show that you have enough capital to build your network with stuff like a dashboard, music, and other features (YouTube even requires that the MCN offer additional value).

Grow your own channel build a brand around your channel then once you feel you are ready and have a good capital behind you and the required numbers for direct email support then approach YouTube

Getting a direct contact within YouTube is fairly easy, there's thousand of them on linkedin.

The lower level partner managers have no access to that sort of information.
You have to go fairly high up the chain to even get information and from there, there is a whole application process to go through which you can be rejected from etc.
