Is this a decent MCN deal?

[Roamancing]

So the MCN we have been speaking with is discussion a 2-year contract with us receiving 35% of revenues.

Does anyone have experience with this? Is this decent or not?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Absolutely not! That's the worst deal I have come across! The industry standard right now, at least from what I have seen is a no lock in contract with a revenue share of 70-90%. I have messaged you on YouTube with some suggestions!

Thanks Jack! I suspected that might be the case. This is an MCN in China, and I was already warned that I was going to have to be careful with them when it came to money. So I thought I might be getting seriously low balled, which has similarly happened to us when we've negotiated creative properties with India, but didn't know with MCNs, so I wanted to check with others that have done MCN deals before.

Really appreciate your feedback. Thank you!

That's quite alright! If you have any other inquires I'd love to help you out!

Must be YouTube's lag time that is the issue. I will check again in a bit.

My general tips for joining a MCN is don't join unless you absolutely need to and make sure that there is a no lock in contract or a very short one.

Most importantly though don't just join one thinking that they will magically make your channel grow, they most likely won't unless you are a big channel.
