videos are suitable for advertising sometimes one of your videos will
receive a notification that they're not suitable for advertising this might
upset you initially but I find that if you request a review often monetization
will be reactivated for that video number 3 YouTube could terminate your
YouTube account a copyright strike on one of your videos will prevent ads from
being displayed on it if your appeal fails you won't be able to run ads on
that video anymore if you receive 3 strikes on your channel it will be
terminated this means you'll lose the ability to generate revenue from Adsense
from your YouTube channel number 4 Revenue fluctuates throughout the year I've
discovered that your revenue drops in the summer then picks up again in the
last quarter of the year of course this depends on your niche number 5 ad
blockers prevent your ads from being displayed if many people use ad blockers
while watching your videos it will decrease the amount of revenue you can
make from advertising on your channel number 6 don't get paid until you earn
$100 this sucks if you have a small channel and you're relying on Adsense
revenue to pay some of your bills YouTube will only send you a check after
you've earned $100 number 7 lower revenue on mobile mobile devices have
less screen space to display ads than desktop devices therefore they're less
effective and generate less revenue number 8 difficult to make good money
you need to generate millions of views from the videos on your channel to make
small amounts of money if you have a small channel it's going to take a long
time to generate a lot of revenue from adsense ads number 9 no control over the
types of ads that appear on your videos YouTube belongs to Google
a multi-billion dollar company therefore they decide what types of ads to display
on your videos number 10 displaying ads on your videos
may turn off some viewers some viewers get turned off when an ad is displayed
before the video that they want to watch
they might abandon your video instead of watching it skippable ads generate the
highest revenue compared to non skippable ads which have a high abandonment rate
because you can't turn them off monetization with Adsense is profitable
for some youtubers but not for others it depends on your revenue aspirations the
