Which Network Offers The Highest CPM?

Some networks pay you per view, not per click. So you get paid your Adsense / Youtube clicks and also the views you generate from your videos.
 
Hi, could you please tell me what the other benefits are of joining a network besides partnership? Thanks!

The network I currently work at offer a 60/40 split in all earnings, where you are obtaining 60%. This is far better than other networks like Machinima. Machinima offer you a flat rate of $2.00 per 1,000 views. My network offer you 60% of what you get, meaning you could be earning well above $2.

If you need more, PM me.
 
My cousin was getting over 60,000 views everyday with a Youtube Partnership, then he joined Maker and dropped down to 1,000 views a day. Why is that? Is it because his videos are no longer featured on the side like they would be with a Youtube Partnership? It seems like Youtube punishes you for joining a network. It was consistent for years then the day he joined Maker he went from at least $60 a day to less than $1 dollar a day! What would cause that?

While youtube very likely does favor partnered channels, I doubt that they would discriminate between networks and regular revenue sharers and partners. They still get the same % of the earnings.

He should look at his analytics and see where he was getting his traffic from and what changed. The youtuber TheWillofDC has almost 300K subscriber and at first he was getting a lot of views. Now most of his videos get 2000-6000 views and he recently quit altogether. People eventually tire of the content. You need to keep it fresh and interesting.

Featured Videos

Featured Videos will be primarily populated with videos from YouTube's thousands of partners, but might also include select user videos that are currently popular or that we have previously showcased in Spotlight Videos. We will automatically rotate these videos throughout the day to keep them fresh. Featured Videos are not advertisements or paid placements, but do feature content from partners with whom we have a commercial relationship.

I constantly see Machinima directors in the Suggested video slot. He should contact his manager person in Maker Studios and see whats up.

Another thing to consider is that maybe Youtube determined that people don't like his videos and it would be better to advertise someone else instead. 60K views a day to 1k means he doesn't have a very loyal subscriber base, indicative of shitty content.

Everyone stay away from TGN. They offer very bad CPMs and poor management. TGS is a 60/40 split as well because after seeing someone say 70/30 I went to see if that was true, it was false. Machinima is not the greatest anymore.
 
TGS's RPM (SocialBlade) network is 60/40. Anybody can join that. I'm pretty sure that TGS is 70/30.
 
I don't use Clickbank. Personally I find obscure products with their own affiliate program. I just link directly to the product page with an affiliate link in the description.

Using Clickbank/Amazon links will often get your video removed, but I've yet to ever have a video removed using direct affiliate links with small products/companies.

The link should be the first thing in the description, then also watermark your video and add an annotation saying "Click the link to get this" or something like that.
 
Whatever you do avoid TGN at all costs, they are a rip off even with there new contract. Join a network with a good fixed payout or that has dashboards so you can see what you are getting in advance.
 
My friend got fucked by TGN. He was signed on for $1 per 1k views because "George" said that he had to get more of a following to earn higher pay. This was at the start of the "Way" program and I am pretty sure we can get the chat logs for that "conversation". What my friend earned for TGN however was like $5 per 1k views. This being said, he quit after 3 months, and when I dug up the data he nearly died from his idiocy. That being said, I myself would never sign for a network for anything less than $3.50 per 1k views. Why? Because my content brings all the views, not the network. I don't care what benefits they offer, unless they personally promote your product and channel with vivid passion and help you get noticed around the internet, then NO fucking way will I ever settle for less than $3.50 per 1k views. I learned from my friend, and a few threads here about the importance of quality.

Now, all my videos are of quality and on par. If I am able to spend a few $K monthly to promote my channel, then I am worth way more than the average YouTuber.
 
I don't know about CPM, but basically I believe the being partnered with just YouTube themselves is the best option. I make about $500 USD per 150,000 views. Now, I am talking about everything added together here; views, clicks, impressions, and so on. That's just my stats so far. I've actually made just a little over $2000 last month making videos and I am not even a big partner. Just make technology related videos.
 
You dont need a network at all youtube just pays very good.

I wouldn't understimate the importance of having a network that covers your ass in case of clickbombing or sneaky copyright claims.

Of course, if you are a big youtuber they won't touch you anyway, but if you are not much recognized we all know how quickly and mercylessly Adsense can pull the plug on your account.
 
Oh hack yes. Definitely make more with the Network company. And it also depends how "fast" he gets the views. You said 500k per month, which is really good. He can FOR SURE earn more than $400 per month with Network.

Tell you my personal experience, I'm actually partnered with Fullscreen. The thing I love is the "Sponsorship Campaign", they often offer $20-35 CPM if you contain some content for the promotion, the budget can go from $2k-$10k, and normally the campaign run for a week to two.

So let's say the Campaign is $25 CPM. Your friend makes a video contain some content for the promotion within the first 30 seconds of the video, and he generates 100,000 views within a week. Then he can earn up to $2,500 just by that video. If you or your friends have question or want to know more about it just PM me. Cheers! :)



Wait, so for gaming channels can you get into this Gorilla Campaign thing as well? It's every month and you just have to do what they say and you can earn atleast $25 for every 1000 views on that video? :O
 
Hi guys I'm with Machinima but going to leave I get around 50k views a day and around 1.5m views per month. I've been contacted from IGN and Fullscreen anyone got experience with these networks or know what Fullscreen offers? Which should I go for and why?

Double that. Friend of mine making some serious money, and he is making tech related vids too.
Now regarding networks, I know Epom Market has some crazy rates for filesharing/warez sites.
 
Machinima recently switched to a 60/40 split since "firing" a bunch of big youtubers. I was offered the new contract.
 
I've worked with TribalFusion, but my eCPM was really low last two weeks, so I've decided to check some alternatives. Signed with Epom because of their rates, nearly $0.3-0.5 for display... seems quite cool for me.
 
So TGN pays the most?
Then Maker pays the second most?
TGN only pays good for their old partners. New partnered yt accounts only recieves $0.5/1k.
I recommend Machinima, they're paying $2/1k
