Which partnership to apply for?

[Squeal Cat]

Sounding a bit the case of paying for protection for nothing (we watch too many films). Thanks for your advice! We should just be a hella' lot more active on this then. The responses are excellent

Yea, the responses in this community are excellent

To be fair, I do not know the financial benefits for joining networks... I've joined one, and I'm not sure if I make more money by joining this network or with Adsense. My conclusion for this moment is that it doesn't matter much for small channels. But I do know most networks don't let your channel grow, they don't provide anything, not even tips or anything.

Thanks for your help! We just checked your channel and are literally wetting ourselves. What an idea! Hahahahaha. Subbed man. Thanks again.

In network forums, everybody is looking for people to support THEIR channel. You will still see much of the same activity going on here but at least you aren't surrendering a portion of your revenue.

You mentioned that you are looking for help with growth, tips and help us meet fellow YouTubers. Well, you're in a good place right here.

I've heard horror stories of small YouTubers getting signed with networks and being jerked around. I don't think it's worth looking into partnerships unless you have like 500,00 subscribers.

Networks could have specific advertisements that averagely pay more than the YouTube ads that appear often. The benefits of joining a network may increase your RPM (revenue per mille/per thousand). You want to look for a network with high CPM (cost per mille). This means that advertisers are paying more to advertise on this network than another one. Ask to compare CPMs between its partners and make sure it is from the same time of year. Do not compare CPM/RPM from different times of year, as that provides inaccurate results. Also, networks have the capability of having your back during copyright strikes. Many of the bigger networks know people within YouTube and have contacts that can get you out of a pickle. The littler ones most likely don't and many of them that exist just don't do anything but leech money you could be getting. Join a network with a high revshare, too. My limit would be 70%-30%, you keep 70%, they keep 30%. If you go any lower than 70%, it isn't worth it, ever. Though, there is a new network coming out that does not take any revshare, it is called JetPak. It is a network that you decide to pay monthly and get services. Minor services will do little but still help but the more premium ones will help you with what you need a lot more. Specifically, I am not sure which each tier of pay for that network does, as it is not released yet, I don't think. Also, never join a network that locks you in for long period of time, like 1 year or something. 3-5 months is the max limit I would go for, just in case you don't like the network.

Some people may tell you to hold off joining a network, but that is only if you don't benefit from any. If you find a network that meets all criteria with a better CPM that YouTube, then join away. If not, just stick with AdSense.

It is important to note that CPM is determined by the viewer, not by the network. The vast majority channels within networks do not get ads served by the network. They get Adsense ads anyway.

"YouTube ads are served via Google AdWords, and while MCNs have the ability to sell advertising that only appears on channels within the network as reserved ad inventory (reserved media placement), this inventory is still sold through the YouTube ad system and by advertisers who also conduct AdWords campaigns."
This is the best way that I have found it was being put. MCNs have the ability to place a certain select of advertisements at which could pay more than YouTube's normal ads.

Yes, MCN's have the ability to serve ads but very few channels in networks actually get them. They typically go to the largest channels in the network. Even still, even if a channel gets ads on behalf of the network, it is reportedly less than 15% of the ads served on the channel.

Still, it doesn't lie that you will still get more in an average, albeit it could be a decent amount smaller than what you'd expect, it still is more than previous. Plus the benefit of copyright strike help (depending on the network of course), makes it better than just not being with a network.

Getting more than average doesn't make up for the percentage of the revenue that you surrender for being part of the network.

As for copyright strikes, don't use copyrighted content.
