YouTube Suspended my Account
Published on February 23, 2018
Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.
I just started to monetize in the YouTube world of marketing. So I created a tutorial for apps that I use to save money. I have seen videos just like the one I created all over the internet. It was a very simple tutorial for ShopKick and they suspended my account and sent me an email. Stating that it was not allowed due to Community Guideline. I have gone through the Community Guidelines and don't see what I did wrong.
Are they considering MY Video Spam and not the million others. UGH
I am so confused and very upset that my video was flagged out of the millions of videos out there.
I contacted YouTube and asked what the problem was and all they said was my account is staying in the suspend stage for 3 months.
Has anyone ever come across this before?
I don't know if I want to deal with YouTube anymore if their gone to keep suspending my tutorials. I know it's another way to make money but I am not sure it's worth the stress and frustration.
All help is appreciated.

UPDATE - 2-24-18
I have spent the 2 days trying to figure out what I did wrong on YouTube to get my account suspend and then terminated.
Here's what I found out, YouTube is doing this to a lot of people there is actually a Facebook Group that you can join. https://www.facebook.com/groups/149842672325004/about/
I have sent 9 emails, 2 to support, 5 replies to the emails I received and 2 to the appeal department. Trying to figure out why my account was suspended what exactly is their reason.
All I keep getting is automated replies stating that I have to read the Community Guidelines. I have read them and don't see any reason why my account would be suspended.
I have found people that have had their YouTube account since 2006 and had over 700 videos and their account got suspended.
I am not giving up just yet, but I don't want to spend a lot of time trying to fix something that a thousand of other people have tried before me to fix. So I will keep sending emails and maybe try and find a phone number to call.
But Please fellow WA Members don't be shocked if your account gets Suspended on YouTube. They are not playing nice at all.
If anyone has an alternative to YouTube please let me know. Much Thanks
I guess they don't need any more money from new businesses.
Be Safe and Good Luck to all YouTubers
