Hi All,
I am George Pierce. My most recent online adventure is a way to make money on YT without having to make any videos or spend any money, and it really is one of the easiest ways that I have found for making money online. I will share more of the details later.
My intent is to help you to make money online. There are, however. some negatives about growing a YT channel that you should know. The biggest negative is that YT can pull the plug on your channel at any time and for any reason.
My Story;
I have been using YT for over 10 years as a way to drive traffic, I have several channels that I use for traffic and I have never had a problem. I do my best to make sure what I do is 'white hat', so there should be no reason to have to worry about YT closing down my accounts. WRONG!
This is the scary part. YT has some of the best software on the planet and one of the best websites...BUT...their software is still capable of mistakes.
Above is a snapshot from my IM Training Channel and what you are seeing are YT violations. The violations are called Community Guidelines violations, which are typically links to sites that contain malware. The links are to Vid IQ, and it so happens that Vid IQ is a site that is associated with YT. If I had had a third link, that would have been three strikes, and. I believe that three strikes mean your channel is terminated. Of course, the link are not a Community Guidelines violation, but that does not matter.
This might seem like no big deal. but when your channel is terminated. it is terminated. period. YT's response is that once your channel is terminated, they cannot help you. Although that is a bunch of hooey, YT runs the show.
Personally. I like to be in control, this post is to help you to remember that YT is in control.
Another negative that I recently discovered is that your channel can receive copyright violations that are bogus. This is a double whammy. YT does not check out these bogus copyright complaints. Your channel is guilty until proven innocent. In order to prove your innocence you need to contact the copyright claimant.
Guess What!
Since it is a bogus complaint, you are wide open to being SCAMMED! It costs you information and/or money to remove the claim. The money is for the time and trouble for the removal of the bogus claimant. This has been going on for years and YT seems to look the other way.
Growing a YT channel can be a lucrative venture, but you and I are at the mercy of YT. If you are interested in growing a YT channel for free and without making any videos, I invite you to click here for all the steps to take.
Thank you for reading.
Much success,
George Pierce

Like Terri said, this can be applicable to most of the social media outlets out there. One of the things that happends now, is the rise of so many bad creators just using content that is not for reuse. Not to mention all the spam bots and things out there leaving the bad, spammy comments. It is good to see that YT has boundaries. But sometimes the good content creators get caught up in the loop of the filters.
I agree, some FB creators seem to set up new accounts all the time. With YT, I believe that once one of your channels are terminated, all are terminated and no new channels are allowed. Thank you, John.
When you get valid strikes, I can see that YT or any other social media is doing its job. In the case of bogus strikes, however, YT abandons the YTer. In an effort to fix things, the YTer gets scammed. Mark Scan is an example, Google it and you will find thousands of sad situations involving innocent YTers, and YT continues to allow this to go on. Thanks, Terri.
It's not just Youtube, it's most of the social sites out there (including Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter etc...) You have to make sure to read the community rules and make sure you understand them before it happens because it won't be easy getting your account back. I had an experience recently with a well known site, they wouldn't let me log until I appealed and pleaded with them that it wasn't intentional and it wouldn't happen again. Keep in mind always, it's there site and they are in control because Youtube is top dog because it's owned by Google and many people go there to search and watch the millions upon millions of videos on there. Sorry to hear of your experience George Pierce and that you're sharing your experience for people to recognize and follow Youtube guidelines.
