Hi Lee, we aren't quite an MCN. I would refer to us as an MVN. Here is a post that explains the difference between a company like Rumble and Fullscreen:
Additionally, we have 4 licensing options for creators. We do NOT take over channels, we only claim individual videos (this DOES NOT affect your account, its NOT a strike) and it ONLY happens if you select the Video Management option. Here are the four options we offer:
Video Management
We will exclusively manage your video on all platforms. Rumble will give you 90% of all revenue on YouTube and 60% on all 3rd party platforms. Depending on your Rumble Rank score, we take your video to major platforms and television, like Good Morning America, MSN, Yahoo, etc. You will earn revenue for life. We might even put your video on our own YouTube channel and even share 90% of the revenue (we are the ONLY network that does this).
Non-Exclusive
We buy your video for a set price. We make no claims and we do whatever we like with the video (this is what munchito696 uses)
Rumble Player
We will only monetize and distribute with the Rumble video player. We will not do any 3rd party distribution. (This option is exactly like uploading to YouTube).
Not for Sale
We will not do any monetization, 3rd party distribution or any promotion. You are simply using us to host your video.
You can see more detail here:
Generally speaking, Video Management is a one stop shop for full distribution and potential. Your risk is losing 10% from the YouTube revenue share (if you use Adsense), but if your with an MCN, you'll gain +20% and you'll gain all our distribution because MCN's normally only offer a 70% revenue share and do no distribution beyond claiming your own channel. Its a win win.
In either case, at the very least, you should ALWAYS upload your content under the Rumble Player since there is no obligation or commitment (your contract with an MCN doesn't prevent it). Major sites like Littlethings, Viralnova are using Rumble videos everyday and it could be yours.
Hope that helps.
