All Networks 💜 Lets Talk: Partner Program 💜

[Thjis]

Heeee everyone,

as you all probably know, Cube’s partner program has been closed for a whileee. For creators and Cube itself, this isn’t the best thing, as not having an active partner program could be hurting the server. Here are some ideas and thoughts about revamping/changing it so it would be able to open again!!!!!!!! :)
List of things that was off.

• It was outdated.
• Partners and Cube didn’t have a “Win-Win relationship”
• Communication

The partner program was just outdated. In the last few years a lot of companies have changed their partner program to something more advanced and creator friendly. Think about programs like: YouTube, Twitch, Epic Games, etc. Ofcourse these are large companies so the program doesn’t have to be as good as those, tho you can learn a lot from them!

At the moment they closed the program there wasn’t a win-win structure. Partners got a lot of perks/extra’s to make even more amazing content while cube didn’t really get to much out of it.

Spoiler: Partners got:

Server Perks
Partner rank on server, including every in game rank/bundle/vip30 features, exclusive tag, access to /nick, access to pg’s, extra p slots/f slots.

Other Perks
Support (Quick access to team, moderation, questions etc), Giveaways hosted by creator can get gifted by cube. Promotions by cube (socials with decent followings), request’s (old games/maps getting booted up) or other things that would help with content creation.

^^ wowie that’s a lot isn’t it.

With how Cube’s partner program worked, everyone could apply without having “real” requirements outside of being a good fit. While having a vision to help smaller creators grow their content and support them in their content journey sounds amazing, it’s not that simple. Giving them the same perks, help, and resources as larger/trusted creators is not the best (Maybe I’m wrong please give opinions.).

While Cube is giving the partners all the amazing perks above, the partners are like living advertisements haha don’t hate, it’s true <3. If someone averages 250 views on Cube content, it isn’t as useful as someone who averages 100,000 views. There is a big chance the 250 views are mostly from people who already play Cube, while the 100,000 views introduce a lot of new people to the amazingness of this network.

While the 250 views are still amazing and great, they can’t be compared.
Another thing is communication. Communication could be a topic by itself, haha. While things such as the public Notion board or Cam’s official replies on the forums are nice ways to communicate, there could be so much more.

In partner terms, we don’t even have an official reason for the program closing.

I know i know lots of talking blabla, but what would be a good solution?

1. Open it the simple way.

Set simple Requirements, such as having an amount of subs/followers/average views and stuff such as at least making cube content … a month/being a good fit.

This way you have active content creators, who actually make content on cube and not just benefit from all the cool stuff + less people going for creator just to be a creator, and not because they love making content.

2. Revamp it, BABYYYYYY

Spoiler: Random idea:

Change the program, make it multiple tiers, change perks etc.

Tier 1 Cube Partners –
Requirements:

• At least 14 years old.
• Act in good manners, and respect. Community/Other creators/opinions.
• Smoll creators. So think 100 subs YouTube, 25 Twitch, 500 TikTok.

Rewards/Perks:

• Getting cube funded giveaways, you can host by collecting points which you get for being a cube creator so daily, reaching goals such as 1k subs or … views etc.
• Access to Partner discord, to chat with other creators.

Tier 2 Cube Partners + -
Requirements:

• Everything from Cube Partners
• Being verified by partner management.
• Larger creators, So 5k subs YouTube, 1250 Twitch, 25k TikTok.

Rewards/Perks:

• Everything from Cube Partners
• Partner rank on server/discord/forums with all the benefits like /nick or /pg in game.
• Own channel to talk to the team, for req/mod other stuff.
• Promoting socials by cube.

Tier 3 Trusted Partners –
Requirements

• Everything from Cube Partners +
• Larger creators, so 10k YouTube 2,5K Twitch, 50k TikTok
• Trusted by CubeCraft

Rewards/Perks

• Everything from Cube Partners+
• Access content before its out, and being able to give feedback.
• Special requests.
• Other cool stuff/helping cube

When meeting the requirements, people can skip Cube Partners to become Cube Partners+ immediately after verification. You cannot skip Partners+ as you need to be trusted first. Not everyone can be a trusted partner, as you obviously need to be trusted first, haha.

3. Magic

I know cube has amazing idea’s and visions, so use them and make a cool and amazing program we know u can ;).

I also know this is probably not very realistic and could use insane amounts of tweaks/extra’s/changing as well as it costing dev time. Thoooo i also think people would love to be able to apply for partner again.

With love,

Thijs coming in with an awesome suggestion woooo

The revamp bit sounds like a fun way to make it work again. The partners will have something to work towards if they truly want the benefits. It would require lots of admin which at the moment they simply cannot afford (time and resources), but I think it would be great to keep in mind once things become less busy for the team.
