YouTube gameplay without Machinima

[Henriqueds]

Hello,

I'm already a Youtube partner, but I want to release a new gameplay channel. Every gameplay channel I looked for were Machinima's partner.
Can I release a monetized gameplay channel without being a Machinima partner?

Best regards

No, not really. It's borderline impossible these days, and the earning from the 'everyone's a partner' thing is low compared to Machinima's. That being said you could just sign up with another network.

^^^
Bullshit.

Sign up with TGN (average $1.80 cpm - you get 80% of revenue)

IGN has a $3 CPM

Machinima is a $2 CPM

Partner with fullscreen as well, they have gaming rights (used to partner machinima people for them) - they have good pay also

All of the above is ok for gaming.

"Everyone Partner" is basically adsense and you can make some good money of adsense. You can't do anything shady because they will ban you.

'Everyone's a partner' doesn't allow you to put prerolls, just truview and side ads. Prerolls force the viewer to watch. So whatever the advertiser gave the CPM, you'd get the whole thing of it. While with truview you only get paid if the user want to watch the whole ad. Thus you'd make more money by becoming a full partner, but that has always been hard. That's why it's much easier and the profits are better just to join a network. Since the network gets specific advertisers for your gaming niche and thus display more relevant ads.
