If you are reading this , chances are , you are already doing well on YouTube and have a fair active hearing . So a few calendar month back , I had the first - hand experience with an Indian YouTube MCN and here a few things I wish I knew before connect the web .
What exactly is MCN ?
YouTube is the second big hunting engine with more than 300 hour of picture uploaded every instant . So seeing this potential a Modern flesh of business emerged called – multi - channel networks short MCN .
cerebrate of it as a big metier house that owns multiple YouTube groove . They partner with other independent YouTubers and help them to raise their channel . And in paying back , take a pre - negotiated cut from their earning .
Thisvideoexplains the working and pros / bunko of MCN in detail .
Most YouTubers are too naive to realise the sound contract offer by the networks and later on ended by unhappy . I made the same fault a few month . There were many thing , I wish I knew before joining a connection .
So here are few Spanish pointer on when and when not to link a web :
1 Custom thumbnails : Say NO . you’re able to do that on your own . There are plenitude of tutorials on how to expend Photoshop . This is not worth share your money .
2 More eyeballs on your video : Say NO . MCN do n’t have access to YouTube search algorithm and partnering with them wo n’t give any bragging boost to your duct . All they can do is share your videos inside their own community and social web . Still not deserving enough .
3 high CPM : Now this is a bit guileful . If they promise higher CPM always involve them how much . Get a figure . And then compare it with your original one . If that ’s the same or little more than say NO . If you are regularly make depicted object , you CPM will obviously surpass their offer . Similarly , also avoid vapid CPM .
See : How much money can you make from YouTube
4 Collaboration : One can easy collab with other YouTubers by leaving a comment on their video or ask them directly on their sports fan page . You do n’t need a internet for that .
5 Malcolm stock image and music : Again NO . There are tons offree musicandHQ imagesthat you’re able to use for commercial-grade projects . A few years back , this would be a dealbreaker but not now .
6 Copyright trade protection : MCN takes province for any right of first publication violation because of its members . So if your groove rotate around copyright issues ( like gaming communication channel or movie reviews where you use democratic song or movie clip ) then MCN are helpful .
Your videos will be monetise even without YouTube reviewing it . However talk about this issue clearly , before you sign the contract bridge .
DO ’s
DON’T ’s
twine Up
So overall in MCN is a good matter . Most mass benefit from them . But this does n’t always work that way . There are many revulsion stories on YouTube on how they were screwed by their MCN . I did n’t have a good time either . So before you contract the contract take it thoroughly and negotiate decently .
