I want to get a sponsorship but I don't want to pollute my videos with ads. Based on what I've read these deals usually work by the company paying you based on a $25cpm for views gained in the first month. Does that mean I can just edit out the sponsored segment after one month? Do I have to explicitly state this in the contract?

23 and full time youtuber planning on moving out of parents house. My parents don’t want me to move out and are saying I won’t be approved for an apartment because YouTube isn’t a real job. Anyone here have any experience with being a full time youtuber and getting approved of an apartment?

My Youtube RMP dropped 90% down overnight. ads are not showing on any of my videos ( I checked with many ) I checked with Youtube customer support and they said there is no issue with my account. But I felt, this is an issue - It happened to me on 14th of March 2024 & till date my RPM is down. Any solution for this ?

Hey everyone. So I make commentary videos on YouTube and I want to expand which platforms I use, and also since YouTube has certain restrictions on what I can say I want to use platforms that allow me to cuss in peace lol.

Do any of you have experience with Patreon or Twitch? which one would you say is better?

Wondering what tools he uses to do this animations, they are pretty intuitive and fun.

His channel name is zackdfilms

I’m in the process of verifying my Adsense account for YouTube. I completed my identity verification no problem. However now it’s telling me that there’s action required and gives me an error code whenever I try to verify my payment method. It’s also saying that my account is temporarily suspended and I just have no clue what’s going on. Can anyone help?

I've seen many smaller youtubers have this issue: your video gets impressions and views, then it flatlines. No big deal, you just need to do better on your video etc. On my channel, I've typically been getting anywhere from 10k-30k impressions no matter how good or bad my videos are. A few outliers have managed to crack 500-1mil and have gotten solid amounts of views. Honestly I'd started to take these impressions from the algorithm for granted.
I ended up taking a break for one month due to health issues, and I just uploaded again this past weekend. The video was of equal quality to the rest of my videos, as well as the thumbnail and title. But this time, literally no impressions. 4 Days later and i'm sitting at 160 impressions, pretty much all of those from my subscribers I believe. Even my community posts, which used to get 500+ votes, are now getting little to no impressions with a measly 20 votes. This comes in stark contrast to my old uploads, which would all get significant views and impressions in the first 48 hours.
So I say all of this to ask, is momentum really a thing? Do any of you have infrequent upload schedules and aren't affected by the algorithm in this way?
Have you had this issue yourself, and what did you do to try and fix it?
One possible thing that I thought might've caused the issue was this. After my last upload over a month ago, I applied for YPP and monetization and got accepted. Unfortunately, I was booted out because of reused content (from a very old video that i've since deleted, I will reapply in a month). Is it possible that this has blacklisted me from the algorithm? Or does YT see my channel in a bad light now?
Any help is greatly appreciated. I just wanted to hear your opinions/stories.

Going to apply for monetization again I see I can apply the button is Blue, but it used to say how many of the/over the 4000 you had.

If I didn't have the reapply button be press-able and Blue, how do you find out now it doesn't say that on the Earn page? Just have to run a report and watch hours and dates?

I’m providing this information just in case if someone had similar content curious about growth as a small channel. There will always be a content creator on YouTube who can encourage anyone to become a better creator within their niche. In the future, I’d love my channel to be as popular as 9MagTV. I’d like to reach a million views on my channel by December 4, 2024.

My main frustration with YouTube was gaining subscribers, I gained 1,352 subscribers. Watch hours are fairly easy to gain. The majority of my subscribers came from researching in the industry. There were 6 people who unsubscribed from my channel. Unfortunately, the difficulty was editing 311 videos on the channel.

Many are concerned about monetization. I applied for monetization took one day to be approved reusing content. The sky is the limit, set goals. I made an all or nothing goal, gave myself 90 days to become monetized or delete the channel. If you’re a regular content creator keep going.

Does your channel get deleted due to not logging in or uploading or do your videos last forever?

We have around 900,000 subs. A channel with 18M wants to come hang and film with us for a few days to produce a video to go on there channel. Here is what we're planning to ask for:

• Mentions of our channel at start and end of video with clickable links
• First line in description link to our channel.
• day rate for our main talent
• pinned comment link to our channel
• analytics sharing.

Any edits / suggestions?

OP EDIT - THEY ARE NOT IN OUR NICHE! (THANKS ALL FOR THE DISCUSSION...TOUGH ONE)

Hello all. Looking forward to connecting. Well, that sounded like a LinkeIn request. Ah well. Here I am.

Hey I am developing a tool that allows you to create youtube shorts videos with one click .
You can enter the text (script) of the video and let an ai voice narrate it.

It is called aicut.pro
And you get some free tokens to try it out.

Would love to hear what other creators think of it.

Well it might be obvious and not a life changing hack but I have a Facebook page related to the niche I work in, and I noticed that everytime I upload to YouTube and give the video a share to that page on the first few minutes, my video takes off way quicker than when I don’t share it to the page even tho external traffic counts for like 5% of the total views

How am I supposed to make money if they customer can't buy anything?!?!?!

I would like to know how the community tab post algorithm works. I'm curious how to get the best from this community tab.

Just curious if anyone has this happen, and what your ideas are on what causes it. I mean like… content that is very niche, no extra external traffic, nothing in the news about it - just quadruples in daily views in a matter of days. It’s almost as if it has some analytic threshold it hits and then it just dumps impressions.

Partnered youtuber that makes long form (10-25min)

Every video almost without fail always gets half duration average. 12min video around 6min. 20min video around 10 minutes.

Is this fairly normal? Everyone watching 2x speed?

Hello.

Today I received an email from Youtube support to notify me I received a privacy complaint on a Youtube short.

The short was a gaming short, that my friends and I recorded of ourselves playing.

At no point are names discussed, real life locations, or anything similar to this. The content is purely us running around and screaming on a video game.

​

Youtube has told me I have 48 hours to blur the offending information, or remove it, before they will act. However they have not told me what to blur, or remove. So now I am at a loss, can someone just submit these claims against my videos to have them taken down?

I have been given 0 context. There is no appeal link. What am I supposed to do?

​

The email only displayed a link to the video, with this short notice:

"The information reported as violating privacy is at 2_01
Please note that the violation may also occur in the title, video description, channel image or background."

I'm super new to YouTube (started June 2023) making pop culture video essays.

I have 9k subs and I've uploaded a total of 14 videos. My 7th or so video blew up (1M views). I've had 2 other videos around 100k and the rest have pretty low views including the most recent. (which was somewhat intentional I want to make sure I don't get cornered too deep in a niche and uploaded videos I have an interest in making but knew wouldn't perform right away).

My next video, I think could perform well based on what my audience likes and I got a message from a sponsor asking for rates. I have NO CLUE what to charge and am seeing a lot of conflicting info. Please advise

I make shorts and usually, they get 1k-3k the first day or two and just completely drop off. I know most would just say well make better shorts, get better views. Well, I uploaded shorts at 9 pm the last couple of nights which is very very late for me (mainly because I spent too much time editing and uploaded later than usual) and I found that those videos both reached 10K+ the first day with this new time. So I checked my YT Studio to see if my audience watches at that time and they don't which means I'm hitting the algorithm 10x than usual which is weird for me... I will try again to this time purposely upload at 9 pm and see what the morning results are, will keep you all updated!

My most viewed video (501k) on my channel (28k) posted 8 months ago got age restricted today. I made the mistake of not editing the part in question out before appealing, so now I’m forever left with an age restricted video on my channel. I’m seeing major drop in viewership on that video after the notice.

My questions are:

• would other videos on my channel be affected by it?
• should I delete and reupload?

Appreciate your help.

Can you upload a short part of your YouTube video and set it to private to see if that part will be ad friendly? I have a clip I want to use that involves someone getting shot with a paintball gun, but it’s censored. It’s the only option I can think of for checking if it will be allowed. I’m working on a long video right now and don’t want the entire thing ruined from a 40 second clip what that clip makes the video better.

Hi everyone,

In 2021 I started uploading videos based around World of Warcraft, a couple of them did really well and motivated me to continue making videos. At this point I'm at 23k Subs however my views have dwindled. My average video would get at least 20k, some would do as well as 80k, but as of this last year they average 3k-6k...

I'll make a compilation video every once in a while which will each garner maybe 100k - 150k. I just made another recently but that one died in the water too..

My niche has certainly gotten dry and lost the initial interest it once had. WoW kinda sucks in general for content to be honest.

Anyone got any clues how to fix this? Is it worth just completely shifting genres? I fear I've milked this one dry. I still want to make youtube videos as I find the process fun, but I'm a bit lost at the moment.

All advice is greatly appreciated

Say a company wants you to do a 20 or 30 second advertisement for them right at the beginning of one of your videos,. You have a small channel that gets a couple thousand views per during the first two or three days that you post it

Getting paid to advertise is cool but how many people just say oh there's an ad, he's doing an ad and leave your video. Question is is this actually helpful or harmful to your channel??
