Much more difficult than through an affiliate media network. And now I will talk about the advantages of media networks and how partner media networks protect you from copyright holders.
What is Youtube Affiliate Media Network?
Media networks are large legal entities that connect a large number of channels to themselves and create a network of channels. All this is done in order to monetize the content posted on these channels. The media network takes a commission for this: from 20 to 50% of your income (depending on the network). It turns out like this: in Youtube Analytics you see your total income, subtract commissions from it and get net income that will be paid to you.
However, most media networks try to display more relevant ads on your channel, they will get more clicks and more full plays of commercials, which means that your income will most likely not decrease compared to Youtube direct affiliate, even despite the commission.
Why should I connect to the media network?
1) You can monetize any content.
You simply enable monetization of any uploaded videos. No questions, no status "Your application is under review" or "You do not have sufficient rights to enable monetization of this video." Any video will be monetized until a complaint is filed against it, because Youtube has a high level of trust in media networks (but do not abuse this, think about which videos can be posted and which not).
However, remember to avoid copyright infringements determined by the Content ID system (matching with third-party content, in some countries, the video is blocked for the whole world). If such a violation appears - delete this video.
Also, do not upload videos that are strictly controlled by the copyright holders, they are likely to file a complaint against you, even if the video is not recognized by the Content ID system.
2) Convenient payments of earned money.
Unlike the direct affiliate program of YouTube, where it is inconvenient (through the Rapida system or checks, for the cashing of which they charge interest and this is still a long process), when working through the media network, payments can be made to convenient wallets: Webmoney, Qiwi, Yandex money or bank card. Plus, the money comes in faster.
3) High-quality technical support and assistance to channel owners.
Unlike a direct affiliate program, where a support request is considered for up to 10 days, and there are also different levels of support depending on the number of views and the total viewing time of your channel (e-mail contact is available only to owners of fairly large channels), media networks do not have this problem. You will have contact details - email addresses, skype media network managers that you can contact. They respond quickly, usually on the same day.
In the media network, you will be given the opportunity to consult on optimizing and improving your channel, they will share with you little secrets to increase the number of views and the number of subscribers.
With a direct affiliate program, only large channels have such an opportunity, usually those who have a personal manager assigned to them.
These are the advantages of media networks compared to a direct affiliate program. And then we will discuss specific examples of media networks, talk about the pros and cons of each network.

What are my steps to get a partnership with your YouTube media network?
Here I will show which media networks occupy the best positions in the ranking and are the most popular and viewed. And I'll briefly talk about some.
Number 1 - VEVO media network
The Vevo media network is a music media network. It includes such channels as Eminem, Avril Lavigne, Alicia Keys, Maroon 5 and many other popular American (and not only) musicians.
Number 2 - Full Screen
The Fullscreen media network (Fulskrin) takes young filmmakers, game reviewers, bloggers, let's players under its wing.
Number 3 - Machinima
The media network Machinima (Machinima) takes to itself mainly game reviewers and popular letplayers, as well as all Geek topics, i.e. fans of Mortal Kombat, Turtles, Sonic, etc. That is, those whose content is based on games and films.
Number 4 - BroadbandTV Network
Media network BroadbandTV Network (Broadband TV Network) takes absolutely everyone, including beauty bloggers, as well as those channels that have very low views and few uploaded videos on the channel. An interesting channel seemed to me here youtube.com/user/Momgameplay, where an adult mother plays games - Mom's Letsplay.
Number 5 - WMG
WMG (Warner Music Group). As you understand, this is the music media network Warner. They take only young and promising musicians of all genres of music, with the exception of extremely hard and negative musicians. Almost every channel in their media network has millions of views per video. Here is a great track Atlas Genius.
a musician from their media network that I accidentally found.
Number 6 - Maker Gen (former MakerMax from RPM Network)
Maker Gen (Maker Jen) renamed in June 2014 from Maker Max Studios (RPM Network). They take everyone, even those with tiny views. Previously, there were conditions for earning 60 to 40%. That is, 60% of the income to you, and 40% to them. Around March 2014, it became 70% for you and 30% for them, it was offered to promising channels. You can also get 80% for 20% (maybe already at the very beginning they give). Maker Gen has a youtube channel that talks about how to use youtube and also introduces your channel to everyone (only for english speaking channels).
Affiliate media networks on YouTube are services that provide an opportunity to earn money on your videos. In other words, they monetize your views. There are a huge number of them, both English-language networks and Russian ones.
Not so long ago, we already did a review that accept channels from 0 to 100 subscribers. In fact, thanks to such networks, you can start earning from your videos as soon as you add your first video.
Unlike the official affiliate program on YouTube for video monetization, media networks provide more opportunities and remove many restrictions. First, the entry bar is completely removed or significantly lowered. Secondly, you have an increased number of ways to monetize. Individually for each media network. And, thirdly, the number of ways to withdraw funds is increasing. That is why they are so popular.
