A place to launch a real show, with a real audience and real revenue, from day one.
What This Is
Multiple distinct shows, all living under The Reel Women’s flagship YouTube channel, each on its own consistent release schedule. Your episodes go up on the flagship channel and get tagged with your own personal channel as an official collaborator, so both audiences see it the same day, both Subscribe buttons show up side by side, and everything routes cleanly through one place.
If you’re not sure where to start, that’s normal. Consider joining The Visibility Challenge first for live help building everything this application asks for.
What You Get
- Day-one distribution to both your audience and the flagship channel’s audience
- Analytics and A/B testing tools for your titles and thumbnails
- A monthly strategy call with the other hosts on the network
- 100% ownership of your show, your name, and your IP, the entire time
- Your show’s own title card, alongside a small “Reel Women Network” overlay on each episode
How Revenue Works
Payouts are based on gross revenue, no accounting games, no arguing over which expenses count.
To start:
- 50% to you
- 15% to Network Operations (software, coaching, channel management)
- 10% to a Future Production Fund (for bigger shoots, studio upgrades, and breakout projects)
- 10% split evenly among active hosts who hit their upload quota and show up to the monthly call
- 10% to a Scholarship Fund for the community
- 5% held for admin and tax processing
Hit $3,000+ in gross monthly revenue, or 100,000+ monthly views, two months in a row, and your share jumps to 60%, plus first pick on Future Production Fund projects.
If you bring in a sponsor for your own episodes, that deal is 100% yours. The only thing we ask is that you disclose you’re part of The Reel Women Network, both to the brand and in the content itself.
These numbers are based on how YouTube pays out today. If that changes, these splits might too, but we will always be fully transparent with you about why and how.
The Terms, Plainly
Once you’re accepted, you can come and go on your own terms.
- Your show is exclusive to the network while you’re part of it, but you keep full ownership of your name and your IP the whole time, so the moment you leave, it’s yours to do with as you want.
- Episodes already published stay in the back-catalog and keep paying out, even after you’ve gone.
- You can exit any time with 14 days’ notice.
- We can end things immediately only for policy violations, brand-safety issues, or real legal risk, in which case that month’s pool share is forfeited.
- If a show we built together gets picked up by an outside network or studio within 12 months of you leaving, we ask for an Executive Producer credit and a 5-10% backend share of that outside deal for 12 months, since getting a show off the ground is the heavier lift.
None of this is locked in stone. It’s meant to be fair for both of us. If something here doesn’t sit right with you, tell us. We’d rather talk it through than lose a good show over a line in a contract.
Behind the Scenes
Episodes come to us 3 days before the premiere date. We won’t ask for changes unless something’s genuinely a problem. Our philosophy is that the data from each episode should shape the next one, which is exactly what the monthly calls are for. Every episode carries your show’s title with a small “The Reel Women Network” overlay underneath it.
What We Expect From You
- A realistic publishing schedule you can actually keep
- Active self-promotion: sharing clips, cross-posting, talking to your own audience. This is part of how the whole model works.
- Attending the monthly strategy call if you want a share of the Active Creator Pool
