I've Got It
Hey all,
I've been hovering around this part of the forum for a couple of weeks now reading different stories about partnerships but I still haven't been tempted one way of the other and need some general advice. A little summary of my channel first.
Considering the size and content of my channel, who should I be looking to partner with?
What sort of deal should I trying to strike (TGN seem to offer 80/20)?
I don't want to lock myself into a long term contract because I feel that my channel has the potential to take off beyond what it is now (so far it's been very gradual momentum, but I think one video might spark off a big upsurge. Again TGN seem to offer a 30 day rolling contract which attracts me but what are the potential downsides?
I am fully aware that some of my videos are matched-third party videos. I'm happy with that, I don't expect to earn money from them. I either do them because I have a cool idea and I want people to see it or they are show piece works to demonstrate my abilities and to expose my work to people, not to earn money. However, I read that networks won't accept ANY third party stuff. I want to continue to have the freedom to pick and choose what is monetized. Is that possible?
I already get most of the partner benefits such as longer videos, thumbnails and so on. Other than a banner, what other benefits can partnering offer me? I mostly interested in a partner's ability to promote my work/channel.
Judging from my own statistic, the majority (60%) of my views come from what are called "Mobile apps and direct traffic (unknown sources)". That means they are watching via apps and links that don't take them to a youtube page. Does that have a serious impact on income for partners? I still don't understand all the concepts of CPM, CPC etc. (I mean I understand the phrase but not the implications really).
First of all I really appreciate you reading the whole post and I'll be even more appreciative if you respond with useful advice and opinions.

- Mostly a tech channel, focusing on Tablet reviews, tutorials, opinions. Occasional other showpiece stuff
- 1.5 million video views, 2.3k subs, 10,000 views a day
- Current monetizing the videos I film/edit (i.e. ones with strictly my content)
- Try to do a video every day. Probably average 5 a week. 300+ videos. Had my channel for 5 years but started making videos on a regular basis 10 months ago.
