I've Got It
I just wanted to create this post to inform you guys about YouTube networks as a whole. Over the last few days I have noticed a few posts here and a few websites pinning some networks with the title scammers etc. Now everyone is entitled to their opinion I get that and @Michael seemed to cover this in his post yttalk.com/threads/scam-youtube-networks.125796/
An experience earlier on YTTalk made me realise that people have little knowledge of the network when accusing them as scammers.
The post explained how an MCN had lied to the channel about the terms of the agreement and that they wouldn't let the channel be released as agreed. In the end it turned out that the channel was recruited and partnered by a sub network under said MCN. The channel came to YTTalk to complain and get a little more information on what to do about the MCN and pinned the MCN as a scamming network.
Now imagine you are said MCN and you had a sub network under you. You may have partnered thousands of channels and obviously, you will not be up to date on all the terms and conditions for every channel in the MCN. From the MCNs eyes a channel has been partnered by a sub network. (though it may not have been clear) and when the channel comes to the MCN demanding to be released and the channel is calling them scammers (because the channel was dealing with the wrong people) it is not nice.
So what I am trying to say is make sure you know if you are partnered with a sub network or not (yes they can be equally as beneficial as partnering directly with the MCN) and to make sure when joining networks you have copies of any agreements made, that you have talked to other existing members in the network and checked that the network performs as they claim to and make sure you feel comfortable joining the network. At the end of the day it is extremely unlikely that YouTube can release your channel from an MCN once you connect your channel to the MCN. I have attached a photo of my response to a situation like this.
So before joining a network I recommend:
- Talking to other channels in the network about their experience
- Properly read over the contract and get a second opinion by someone else if needed (Family member, relative etc)
- Make sure you understand who to contact regarding the network (if you are partnered by a sub network save the staffs email addresses etc)
- Googling their company / network name (When Googling networks sites like YTTalk come up in the search results which have peoples experiences with the network and occasionally reviews etc)
- Check how active the networks social media accounts are and how long they have been running. If they are new be weary as they may vanish and you could be locked in for good regardless of your contract.
Hopefully that may help some of you out
