  9. That's it! You have just initiated the partnership process. Our Quality Control team will review your channel first, and if your channel is ready to be partnered, you will be able to request the invitation. Don't worry, we will get in touch with you as soon as we finish the review. You can also check back to see the current status of your request. Just click the Channels menu.

    Tips:
    - Note that there are 5 steps in this process, so you will not automatically become a partner by adding your channel. You will only link your channel to Freedom! after you request and accept the invitation in your YouTube Dashboard.

 

Found an issue or have questions? Below you will find answers to the most common questions.

 

What are the requirements for partnership?

The channel has to meet YouTube's requirements for monetization, which you can learn more about here, and actually have the monetization already available. The channel must also be compliant with all YouTube terms and policies. For a YouTube partnership, we may be able to recomment an MCN. Please note that your request may still be denied, if we or the MCN feel there is a risk the channel violating YouTube terms and policies.

 

What do I do if my channel is rejected after review?

During a review process, we may find that there are some issues with the channel. But don't worry, we'll tell you what's wrong so that you can make changes in your channel and apply for another review. The most common issues are:

  • Channel doesn't meet the requirements for a partnership.
  • Channel is inactive (no new uploads for several months).
  • Channel is empty or doesn't have enough content.
  • Channel's content may potentially violate YouTube's Terms of Service and/or Community Guidelines.

Your next step should be to address those issues. Once you feel that your channel is ready to be partnered, get in touch with our support team no request a new review. You can open a ticket clicking in the link "Submit a request" at the top of this page, or by clicking here.

Note: Make sure to add a screenshot of your YouTube Features page as it may help speed up the process. 

 

I have requested the invitation, but I can't find it anywhere, what do I do?

After requesting the invitation, it may take a few hours for it to show up on your YouTube channel. If the invitation was successfully sent, you will see a note in your YouTube Dashboard that will display the name of the recommended MCN, which wants to have access to your account. Just click the "Get Started" button, read the terms, and follow the steps on screen to complete the process.

How do I know if I'm partnered?

And easy way to check if your channel is partnered is to check the name of the MCN on your channel's features page

Note: The Freedom! Dashboard may take up to 48 hours to update with the information you see on YouTube. If you don't have immediate access to all the Freedom! benefits in the dashboard, give it some time to update. Don't worry, any earnings generated after you accepted the invitation on YouTube will not be lost, even if the Freedom! Dashboard has not yet updated the information.
