Hi guys,

 

Partnership on YouTube has been around for a while...I've never attempted to apply via Youtube/Google; mostly because I am unfamiliar with the process and what it involves. I'm also lazy.

However, I was recently offered a contract with a 3rd party company called Fullscreen. I've done some research, and they are a Youtube certified company and everything. They've offered me a 80/20 split of monetization, some other little perks are that there won't be any copyright issues with my piano covers, granted that they are part of Universal Music Group, and are included in the Fullscreen library of songs (which I'm told includes over 150 000 tracks). The one who contacted me seems very knowledgeable, answers all my questions in detail, I think this is her full time job.

 

I guess my question is, do any of you hold partnerships with your YouTube channels? Is it worth it? I'm trying to see how much I would really make, but everyone who asks seems to have smaller Youtube audience, and are gamers, so it is not such a fair comparison.

 

Any help would be appreciated!

What happened to me was I got an email from Youtube saying I was eligible for monitorization because some of my tutorial videos were so popular.

 

How this is works is you have ads that play before your video. Usually, you get paid by how many views your video gets and etc.

 

I'd show you how but I'm currently in my backyard shooting star trails and my fingers are frozen...not healthy for a piano player like myself hahah.

Monetization =/= partnership.

 

One of my friends got offered partnership I think by a related company and only got an offer of 60/40 so that is pretty good for you.

 

Mostly from what you have said I would be wary of only being able to do covers of artists signed to UMG... you will have to sign a contract as a part of partnership and they may force this. Read it carefully

 

I'm not sure about partnership otherwise

They're not the same? Oh.

I can still upload whatever I want, but I can only enable monetization on songs by UMG.

 

But about how much have you been making? It's based on per 1000 views.

You have no idea how annoying it is to have to wait for an advertisement before watching a video. A real turnoff. Get a blog with ads if you want to make money. embed your videos yourself on your own pages near to your banners and have no waiting times.

Are they that annoying? I've seen them on my videos plenty of times, and I'm not even a partner, so I'm not sure that would be a real issue. I don't have much experience with blogs and such I'm afraid...do you make good money with this site though? Just curious :)

 

Is nobody here a partner then? I'm feeling really inclined to doing it at the moment, but I want to ask some people who are in it that I can trust (ie. coldplayers).

I have a Chrome Extension that adblocks :uhoh: I'm so used to not seeing ads that when I go on other people's PC I assume they had malware hahah.

Even those 15/30 sec ads before youtube videos? I'm not talking about ads placed on the banners of sites.

Usually I steer clear of Vevo videos so I don't get the video ads, but yes, I still get those.

How much money are you getting for your vids then from monetization? You can pm if you don't want to say here...

Oh see I can set up my videos for monetization, but there's 2 reasons why I do not.

 

1. Most of my videos contain songs by Coldplay and other artists so it wouldn't be right collecting money for their stuff.

 

2. I don't put out content as much as I used to. Occasionally I'll post montages/videos I do for school, but other than that, I don't do much.

 

With your subscribers and views Kacey, you're already ahead of me my far haha.
