Hello, everyone.
I come to you today looking for a bit of feedback regarding a system that I think would work very well on YTNet; the website I recently acquired.

For those of you that don’t know, YTNet is a place where server owners can get in contact with YouTubers to play on their server. It allows the server owners to fill out a form and that will be sent to the YouTubers emails, so they get a fast response time and have an easy way to contact Creators. That’s about it, pretty simple right now. This system is not managed or dealt with by YTNet and I think that would be a great thing to change. During this process, you should never be able to get any of the YouTuber’s contact details, so everything is done on-site.

My system is as follows:
Rather than Creators (YouTubers) posting a flat price for their services, they post a CPM (Cost per mille / price per every thousand views) price such as $10. This means that if a Creator makes a video for you that gets 10,000 views, you should pay them $100 (10,000 / 1,000 * 10).

After you create an account on our website you are able to fill out a form in able to contact a Creator (YouTuber) stating things like how many episodes, IP, etc. The Creator is then able to get back to you, the client, through the on-site private message system with any information and to finalise the deal. This includes sending the money to YTNet.

The way we calculate the cost of a video is based on the number of views the Creator has. We take the average number of views of the last three videos seven days after they have been published. For example, if a Creator has 200,000 views on a video, but after the first week they only had 100,000, only these views are counted. We then find 10% of this number, in this case, 10,000, and add it to the number of views. We do this to encourage the Creator to make a higher quality video for you, the Client. TYNet will add another 10% to the price and this money is to ensure a safe and scam free environment, as we will be liable for any charge backs that take place.

The video that Creators send to you is private and only for you until you agree to have it posted. From the time it is posted to exactly 7 days after, is when the views are counted and calculated into the amount that they are paid. If the video receives 80,000 views instead of the expected $100,000, you get $300 back (110,000-80,000 = 30,000 views). It is important to note here that during the entire time between you paying and the video being released for a week YTNet hold on to the money. After this week is up YTNet will send the Creator the money they deserve and refund any money to the Client.

This system may sound a little complex, but it has many upsides. It can essentially guarantee that the Creators and Clients cannot possibly scam each other. Also, I think it would be beneficial to rename YTNet to AdvertiseMC. This opens the possibility for us advertise on other platforms such as Twitch, Instagram, etc.

As, obviously, I can’t explain everything in a single scenario, I would love to answer any questions you have about this and include them in my post.

Thank you for reading and I hope to receive some valuable insights.

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

You could also add an area for any Youtuber to buy revamps or places specifically for people who provide server trailers.
Maybe also a section for people who have hired a Youtuber to write a review to potentially get a rating system going.

I agree it seems complex at first glance, but I see the advantages. Just thinking that AdvertiseMC is very "odd", and I really do not think that this is a good option. I would suggest trying to find something else.

This again is a great idea, I actually considered this, but didn't have the budget nor the time. If I was going to do this, I would get a complete site-remake which I know you are doing.

Huge thumbs up on this, I really wanted this, but I really couldn't find any ways to do this without a site-remake, which was out of my budget. I really am looking forward to these changed, and I want to see what is possible.

Also you probably already have considered this, but when everything is done, I would suggest advertising, it was a thing I didn't do, and the statistics show that 50% of new viewers will come back on a daily basis, and check the front page, for the slider - because it was an easy way to see if new people were added. This means people just hop on the site and check for new YouTubers, almost everyday, I really think you can take advantage of this. Also most people on initial visit will check most of the pages, including YouTuber pages.

Here are some ideas I had when making it. And doing the big update, which sadly never got released:
First we have an review system. Where I had in plan that YouTubers would report to me (will most likely be easier for you to handle, with the upcoming system) who they had done business with. These people would then get to review/vouch or devouch, them, and then it would show on the YouTuber page (can be very different).

<There was something else I wanted to say which I forgot.>

Would be really easy to bot like 200-500 views, even though they seem reputable. would just be an easy extra $5 and no one would know
at stores it is also easy to take one or two items that are in front of the store. But we trust one another to not do so.

I know this is the internet and all, but still

My Views:

Personally, I like the first one, it's simple, clean, and adds the underline adds a good base, which just makes it seems stable.

No. 2 looks too simple, and like no effort has gone into it, (no offense) but anyone with PS could do that.

No. 3, the original looks nice, but the shortened version looks terrible, the speech bubble on the single A just doesn't fit.

No. 4, plz no was that a joke u srs m9? The speaker coming out looks horrendous and the shortened version looks like a car logo (AMG) idek why.

No 1 ftw!

Good Idea, I think you should do something with streamers, so they can connect there twitch with your site and you can count and get the avg amount of viewers a stream,

I like that third one, but I feel like its missing a little, "Shout" to advertisement, if you're getting where I'm at :0
