Now, I'm going to make this clear. If you partner from another network, you don't make more money than you did with the youtube partner program. It;s the same. The only difference is that if you partner with a network, there are more opportunities. Like the refer a friend program. If someone I knew wanted to join the network, I'd give them this link:http://apply.fullscreen.net/?ref=funmiproductions
Now, if I had at least 1000 subscribers, I'd get cash. If since I am under, all I would get is a thank you.
Fullscreen had this thing called gorilla, where these advertisers had a video that they want to be seen. They have a budget of like $500-$1500. You make a video highlighter the video, and you get paid by the advertisers per view. But now, to do gorilla, you need at least 1000 subscribers since it's hard to make money off a video that would get maybe 50 views in a week.
With fullscreen, I am given free access audio, like sound effects, music. If someone decided to repost my video without permission, I can't either remove it, or make money off it. Yeah, I know.
There is a collection of very talented people on fullscreen. I made a new friend on fullscreen that made me a banner for my channel that looks amazing!
The problem that I have with fullscreen is that they partner like 50 people in a day. Most people on fullscreen only have like 20 subscribers. With all those people getting partnered, it's hard to get a response back from the team personally if you have a question or something.
There used to be a fullscreen sub-division devoted to only animators, called motion pxl. This network was how I got partnered. A few months ago, they dis-banded it for whatever reason, so animators don't really have a voice. Yet, the buffoons that make random video game recordings have their own personnel network.
I'm on my contract for another year. Chances of me renewing it 50/50 to be honest. A lot of animators are on fullscreen now for some reason. But not for long when their contracts end.
