Hello this is my first post to yttalk.
So basically my channel has recently reached over 100,000 subscribers and I get around 500,000 views per month. I recently recieved an email from a group called outspeak.
It has been created by the huffington post and have the potential for exposure on their website/channel. The rep who sent me the message did seem genuinly interested in my material so naturaly I became interested.
So basically I had a skype chat they sounded very nice and made me feel like they would help my channel grow. They offered me a 80/20 split, access to viso catalyst, a membership to epidemic sound and a membership to epoxy tv. I like the look of epoxy tv and also think the epidemic sound subscription would be good. Ive checked them out they have some great material.
So yeah I signed the contract and sent it away next thing I get an email back saying that I cannot be accpeted until I remove certain videos from my channel because they were owned by third part entities. These videos were made back before my channel started to grow and I was able to begin purchasing footage and music myself.
Anyway they wanted me to remove many of my older videos which I didn't find fair especially one of my videos. It has over 2 million views. Plus I have been given permission by the owners of the speech to leave it up as long as a link is provided to purchase the speech
In the end I have told them I will not join them if they ask me to remove that video, eventually they agreed I could keep it up if I showed proof I had been given the permission.
So basically my question is do you think I should join or not? The fact that they are already telling me what I can and cant have on my own channel is definitely turning me off.
What are peoples thoughts?
Is viso catalyst actually any good?
They have offered me a 6 month trial period on a 1 year contract. And have said I can leave at the 6 months but can I truat them? (Seen a lot of bad stories)
And is the the revenue share actually worth the perks? Seen as I could get them all except viso catalyst without having to give up my adsense account.
This is a very big decision for me. And I would love to know peoples thoughts. Very sorry for the long post but just need to cover everything
