Frequently Asked Questions

Simply visit our Apply page and submit your YouTube channel for review. We'll analyze your channel's eligibility, audience quality, and content compliance. Approval typically takes 24-48 hours. Once approved, you'll receive an email with next steps to grant view-only API access (no login credentials required).

You must be 18+ years old, own a YouTube channel in good standing (no active Community Guidelines strikes), be in the YouTube Partner Program (YPP), and have consistent content uploads. We accept channels of all sizes, but prioritize quality over subscriber count.

Absolutely not. Choice Network uses YouTube's official Brand Partner API, which requires only view-only access. You grant this through YouTube Studio's official interface—we never ask for passwords, and you maintain 100% account control at all times.

Initial review takes 24-48 hours. If your channel qualifies for BrandConnect, additional verification (audience analysis, brand safety audit) takes 3-5 business days. You'll receive email updates at each stage.

Yes! There are no lock-in contracts. You can revoke API access through YouTube Studio at any time. Any pending payouts will be processed according to our standard schedule. We believe in earning your partnership every month.

We support creators worldwide in 150+ countries. Our payout system supports 25+ currencies via Razorpay, PayPal, and bank transfers. BrandConnect availability depends on YouTube's regional rollout.

BrandConnect is YouTube's official branded content platform that connects eligible creators with premium brand sponsorship deals. It's separate from AdSense and allows you to negotiate direct sponsorships while YouTube handles contracts, payments, and compliance.

You keep 90% of all revenue (BrandConnect deals, AdSense, memberships, etc.), and Choice Network takes 10% as our service fee. This is significantly better than traditional MCNs (70/30 or 80/20 splits). There are no hidden fees—what you see is what you get.

Payouts are processed monthly, 7 days after the end of each month. For example, January earnings are paid by February 7th. Minimum payout threshold is $100 USD (or equivalent). You can track earnings in real-time via your dashboard.

We support bank transfers (ACH, SEPA, SWIFT), PayPal, Razorpay (India), and cryptocurrency (USDT/USDC) for select regions. You can change your payment method anytime in your account settings.

No. YouTube's BrandConnect requires exclusive Brand Partner API access, which can only be granted to one MCN at a time. However, you can use Choice Network alongside other monetization methods like AdSense, memberships, and Super Chat.

Earnings vary based on your niche, audience demographics, and engagement rates. Typical deals range from $500-$10,000 per video for mid-tier creators (50K-500K subs). Top creators can earn $50K+ per campaign. You set your own rates via BrandConnect's pricing tools.

No! You have full control. BrandConnect sends you deal invitations, and you can accept or decline based on brand fit, compensation, and creative requirements. We never force partnerships.

We optimize your BrandConnect profile with professional media kits, audience insights, and pricing recommendations. Our team also proactively pitches your channel to brands in our network, increasing your deal flow by 3-5x compared to solo creators.

Nothing changes! AdSense revenue continues to flow directly to your AdSense account as usual. Choice Network only takes our 10% fee from BrandConnect deals and other services you opt into (like Content ID monetization).

Content ID is YouTube's automated copyright protection system. It scans all uploaded videos and matches them against a database of copyrighted material. When your content is detected in someone else's video, you can monetize it, track it, or block it—earning revenue from unauthorized re-uploads.

Our AI scans 15+ platforms (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Telegram, VK, etc.) daily for unauthorized re-uploads of your content. When piracy is detected, we automatically generate takedown notices and submit them via DMCA or platform-specific processes.

You receive an instant alert with details (platform, URL, views, upload date). You can choose to: (1) Monetize it (if platform supports), (2) Issue a takedown, or (3) Track it for analytics. Our system handles all legal paperwork automatically.

YouTube: 24-48 hours. Facebook/Instagram: 3-5 days. TikTok: 1-3 days. Telegram/VK: 5-10 days (varies by region). We provide real-time status updates and escalate stalled cases to platform legal teams.

Yes, on platforms that support it (YouTube via Content ID, Facebook via Rights Manager). Instead of removing the video, you can claim ad revenue from it. This often generates more income than takedowns, especially for viral re-uploads.

Content ID claims are automated and don't penalize the uploader's channel—they just redirect revenue or block the video. Copyright strikes are manual legal actions that can terminate channels after 3 strikes. We use Content ID first, strikes only for repeat offenders.

Yes, for Content ID enrollment. You'll upload original project files (video editor timelines, raw footage, or copyright registration certificates). This one-time verification ensures only legitimate copyright owners can claim content.

Marketing agencies, talent management firms, and media companies managing 5+ creator clients. You'll need a business registration, client roster, and proven track record in influencer marketing or content production.

Ad Agency Hub is for agencies placing brand campaigns across our creator network (you bring brands, we provide verified creators). Aggregator Hub is for MCNs managing their own creator rosters (you bring creators, we provide infrastructure like payouts, Content ID, and compliance tools).

It's a searchable database of 1,000+ verified creators with first-party performance data (CPM, engagement rates, audience demographics, brand safety scores). Agencies can filter by niche, location, audience size, and deploy campaigns instantly.

Real-time metrics from YouTube Analytics API: views, watch time, subscriber growth, top-performing videos, audience age/gender/location, traffic sources, and historical brand safety audits. All data is 100% first-party and updated daily.

Yes! Aggregator partners can rebrand our dashboard, payout system, and Content ID tools with their own logo and domain. We provide API access for full integration into your existing platforms.

Ad Agency: 20-25% service fee on managed placements (you keep 75-80%). Aggregator: Custom pricing based on creator count and services used (typically $5-15 per creator/month). Contact our partnerships team for a quote.

Yes! Your dashboard shows live revenue tracking for AdSense, BrandConnect deals, Content ID claims, and other monetization streams. Data syncs every 6 hours via YouTube Analytics API.

Yes, for US-based creators. You'll receive a 1099-MISC if you earn $600+ annually. International creators receive payment summaries for local tax filing. All documents are available in your dashboard by January 31st each year.
