People are now finally becoming aware that people can no longer be easily swayed with the usual marketing schemes, especially when it comes to video. Audiences refuse to swallow any old crap, so that really points a finger at content creators and creative minds.
In other words, any video content has to have a strong personal touch, so it can resonate with audiences. Integrating the channel with Google Adsense to monetize YouTube videos is always the common first step. However, the platform frequently tends to change policies towards certain content and that can have a negative impact on your channel.
So,if you’ve if your monetization was disabled, you can still make money from your YouTube videos, regardless of the company’s current shift in monetization policy. Of course, bear in mind that these are tested ad networks, and video creatures can submit an application along with details of their YouTube channel – analytics reports, the number of videos and subscribers, etc.
To recap, even when you make something that’s good enough to get people talking and jumping across various social networks, you should know that the Google Adsense program and YouTube aren’t the only methods of capitalizing and monetizing on your work. There are other solutions out there. Other platforms and other monetization systems. It is possible to make additional income if you’re YouTube channel takes off.

Their services also denote end-to-end channel management and technology solutions for independent content creators and media companies to grow their presence on YouTube.

In addition, they offer assistance with rights management, ownership verification and legitimization (successfully removing harmful content, etc.).
3. AwesomenessTV
About: AwesomenessTV (know as BigFrame) centers on multimedia and its service appears to boast relatively high production values. They encourage you to join their networks and will practically guarantee and promise earnings increase for your channel, albeit they are a bit less open when it comes to channel topics and content.
Conditions: Sadly, BigFrame does not focus on every channel, but rather on the top and rising stars. And that seems to be the catch here. So, the idea is to give these stars resources and networking opportunities to boost channel growth. They basically seek out content creators and talented artists and actively cooperate to improve their work. Another catch is that their operation is limited to Wonderly, Polished, Outlandish and ForeFront, all of which support urban producers, fashion-oriented producers, female producers and LGBT producers. In short, you have to qualify to fit into one of those specific sections in order to apply.
Good or bad? Providing you get into one of the networks, BigFrame will supposedly give you a 40% income boost when compared to AdSense monetization. Most channels will jump at the chance to get a slice of that. Also, Big Frame was purchased by the multi-platform media company, Awesomeness.
4. AdRev
About: As MCNs (Multi-Channel Networks) go AdRev has pretty standard features and has a large audio database, AudioMicro, which denotes a large database of completely free music to utilize for your videos. Similarly to the FilmSection, AdRev offers a lot of tools for video optimization and promotion.
Conditions: Require approximately 500 daily views to qualify and pays through Paypal with a minimum payment of $10 or by check (with a higher minimum payment).
Good or bad?: AdRev may not be entirely user-friendly. The service doesn’t list revenue share percentages or their contract terms without beginning the registration. While AdRev garnered a certain amount of negative feedback from content producers outside the network. Complaints about false copyright claims and forced monetization for non-partners were also mentioned, though with precious little proof. Contrary to that, people using the service largely praise it in a big way. So, when it comes to user experience, it appears to be a bit of mixed bag, but the network does get 25+ billion views annually.
5. Disney Digital Network (Maker Studios)
About: Disney Digital Network, formerly known as Maker Studios, is one of the biggest networks out there, along with FilmSection and Machinima. Unlike, say BigFrame, which restricts is operating to specific content. These guys keep their doors open to a wider range of content, which, in this case, come in the following subdivisions: Men, Women, Family and Entertainment. Should you fit into any of these categories, then you’re all set.
Conditions: The service keeps things simple. As part of the network, you have to abide the copyright rules and must come up with content regularly. Lack of content means the network is left with little to no reason to support your channel.
Good or bad: Should you get into the network, the pay off is superb. It might be pertinent to mention that Maker Studios was acquired by Disney about a year ago, which means there’s more than enough resources for monetary expansion and for supporting talent. In fact, the official word is that Maker Studios has some of the highest CPM ads in the business. Low-traffic channels get something around 60% revenue, while a majority of popular channels receive a 90% take.
6. Fullscreen
About: Fullscreen was founded by people who worked within YouTube, having the knowledge and experience other networks may take longer to get to. Meanwhile, you’ll be equipped with tools to aid you with design and sales of channel-related merchandise. Detailed data and analytics are included in the package, to assure optimization and promotion of video content.
Conditions: Clinging to MCN standards Fullscreen remains a strict stance towards copyright violations, so there must be no flags on your account. On the other hand, they may be willing to make an exception so don’t give up before you start, especially if you have a channel with a strong presence and plenty of views and subs. Expect 80-20% in revenue sharing.
Good or bad: While not exactly eager to reveal contract terms and other requirements (you are first required to reach certain status), the service does appear to have relatively low requirements nowadays, to lure as much talent as it possibly can, to keep things fresh and varied for potential advertisers.
