so Friday night my channel got suspended and I want to just take a time to give
you guys a video to understand what's going on as my loyal subscribers and I
noticed I have a lot of budding youtubers following my channel as well
to try to help them navigate what happens if you wake up and see that your
channel has been suspended if you're fighting me for the first time please
subscribe and real important I hardly ever do it follow me on all my social
media links first and foremost go to the life gains Facebook page like it in the
event something would have happened again you can still keep up with me
there go to my Instagram page follow me there I will start putting more workout
content on that page next follow me on my reddit page you can put videos up
there all these links are in the video description and lastly the one that a
lot of people don't know about because I hardly ever talk about it follow me on
patreon that is a link for subscribers to donate to their youtubers you can do
$1 whatever you want to do this is another way you can keep up keep up with
me in the event youtube was to suspend my channel for whatever purpose they
deem they want to this is another platform where I can still put up
content and you can donate to the channel and right now ladies and
gentlemen it is imperative this ever because of what has happened over this
past weekend so to get into the story I go to bed Friday night I post my video
and I wake up to a friend of mine and a test of the Facebook group saying the
might your channel is going now I was having good dreams that Friday night
because my wife instead of cooking Thanksgiving dinner she presents me a
frying pan that says this right here y'all know what that means and so all
night long Friday I'm tossing and turning dreaming
how to be a good dad you know I was just really thinking you know I want to be a
great father I've never seen my dad I wanted to focus on being a good dad so I
was dreaming about that and to wake up and see someone saying I
can't see your video I was very distraught so I go see what's
going on I checked my email and I get this email from YouTube saying that my
channel has been suspended I broke some kind of community guideline whatever the
case may be and on the bottom of this email you see where it says you can
appeal so I immediately appeal I send my folk Larry a message because this has
happened to him so if you guys are not subscribed to Larry's channel check my
link subscribe to his channel because he really helped me out on this one he
basically told me what to say what to do to try to work through it four hours
later I get messages from subscribers on my other social media saying your
channel is back up I didn't know because I was traveling that day so I go and
check my email and they send me this email saying that they found nothing
wrong with my channel I'm up and running again you're back okay
so I'm thinking well I'm good until I get in there and check that all of my
videos are completely demonetized ladies and gentlemen if you look at that X
through the dollar that means your videos demonetised
it doesn't mean it's d monetize because of copyright because if it was
copyrighted USC was beside the Martin video a C with a copyright now that
doesn't mean that you're in trouble it just means that whoever is claiming the
video gets the money that doesn't even count against your channel because a lot
of youtubers use music they use clips I'm always telling you guys one reason
why youtubers make those really really tiny windows and they're doing trailer
reviews is because they're trying to avoid being copyright strike and even
when you do that they still can copyright strike you mean it you don't
get paid what does it look like when you are being paid from a video it looks
like this you see the green line and you see the green box that says you're
making money I'm trying to figure out okay YouTube so you said I didn't do
anything wrong you said that everything's okay with my videos but I'm
demonetized okay so obviously I've done something wrong so I'll log in to my
channel they hit me with this thing that says
I've got a 90 day community strike but then if you guys read what it says it
said it's a warning I'm not in trouble I'm warned however the bottom line to
this whole thing ladies and gentlemen is that for 30 days as of now until I can
keep trying to figure out what happened or talk to someone
I am demonetised from YouTube for hopefully only 30 days and why is that a
big deal for all the youtubers watching this
video when you get demonetised YouTube still puts ads on your video so
they making money but they're not paying you a dime and secondly when you're not
monetized they don't promote your videos as well you don't get the growth that
you would normally get by putting it everywhere because you're not being
promoted properly and secondly you're not going to see the growth and
subscribership because you're not everywhere you're not on all platforms
so that's how it hurts the youtubers unless you have a extremely loyal group
of followers which I do thankful to all of you guys it's hard to make money
during this time period which is why I always tell new youtubers and
subscribers both although your favorite youtubers on other platforms subscribe
to their channels donate to their channels if you can and anytime they
sell merch don't be afraid to buy something every now and then currently
I'm selling the Rosa Parks t-shirt the American heroes
legends series go buy one for Christmas ladies and gentlemen that helps the
channel figure out what other youtubers you love are doing for that and also if
they have patreon go join and donate to them because if something like this
happens to them and they can't bring their channel back at least you can keep
up with them as they work through issues and attempt to bring their channels back
so YouTube is saying I have a community strike you guys have just seen it and
they also got me for this video with quint Asia when she messed around with
Usher they said I had a link in there that took you to somewhere that was
wrong having said that these videos they're talking about and that one in
particular was basically three years old before YouTube had this ad pocalypse
that was created by people like logan paul and the search who get a slap on
the wrist didn't get to come back and continue making money on youtube because
they're so big YouTube is not going to suspend them that's no good because
small subscribers like me mark dark jay mohr my man Larry we get hurt when we do
things like that and now that they're doing the Copa ruled which YouTube has
been existing since early 2000 and they got this Coppa thing going because the
FTC caught them basically taking people who are under the age of 18 information
and selling it which is illegal and YouTube has been doing it since 20 who
knows when till now and they just got caught meaning that they don't made all
this money for having specific ads targeted to young people they've made
all this money and now they're making it even harder for youtubers to make money
because you have to deem your video whether it's kid content or not and if
it's kid content they're not going to be able to push it because they can't get
the detail at revenue that they've been able to do all these years circumventing
the system and now you're getting a slap on the wrist if you do that so this
entire video ladies and gentlemen was made to try to help youtubers understand
what to do and help you subscribers understand how to help youtubers and
follow your favorite youtubers if something in in the worst case were to
happen so lessons learn what do you do ladies and gentlemen be sure to follow
your favorite youtubers across platforms whatever platforms they have for me is
face book the life gains page its reddit life gains page it's my Instagram page
and my patreon page follow them donate to him buy their merch communicate with
them anyone who's been who's like my facebook page or who's follow me on any
of those platforms know that I do communicate back with you
as quickly as I can as best that I can for my youtubers make sure you're able
to diversify your income make sure you diversify your income now
youtube tells you you should not just let out revenue be your only way to make
money unless you have a highly engaged audience that becomes very hard ladies
and gentlemen because if you're a new youtuber you're not getting a lot of
views so if you are selling something be till you get the ad revenue you're
probably not selling a whole lot of it and so that's when the ad revenue
becomes impaired too when you grow because you guys know I hardly ever
mentioned anything that I sell myself I'm just now starting to sell t-shirts I
always mentioned what someone else is selling but never what I personally sale
so be sure youtubers to diversify your income me I got on YouTube in the
beginning because I sell I do real estate I invest in real estate I flip
commercial buildings now I'm doing residential buildings so I've had
something to bounce to which is why I didn't panic too bad when I noticed that
my channel was gone I was frustrated because I've gotten over a hundred
thousand and it's hard as hell for a brother to get over a hundred thousand
but I made it but still I didn't have to rely on that as my source of income so
other youtubers out there be sure to do the best you can to diversify your
income and also diversify the way you are able to get your subscribers their
content maybe do a podcast I'm learning my lesson from this that I'm gonna have
to have backup channels I might even start doing the podcast because when
you're at the mercy of YouTube and they drop a hammer what can you do you can
try to fight them but unless you're somebody like a logan paul who has a
million subscribers or more and you can influence more people it's very hard to
strike through and fight back against youtube so to all my subscribers thank
you for watching this video to other youtubers who have made going through
this thank you for watching always try to appeal it and
if you can get your comments and your feelings hurt YouTube and just be honest
with your subscribers about what's going on the way I'm doing so if you're new to
my channel please subscribe and also at least for a month ladies and gentlemen

through these issues to figure out if I'm going to get monetized again before
30 days it's going to do it for this video don't forget to like my video
