Well good news! I was randomly trying to monetise a video today that I have had uploaded for a few weeks, and I checked my 'Video Manager' and amazingly YouTube had accepted the request straight away, and it had adverts next to that video. I then decided to request monetisation on all of my videos that had been declined or under review in the past, and again YouTube accepted them for monetisation. I really don't understand what went wrong, I have looked on forums and on Google and have found others had this problem. I just thought I would share my story, so others can also see they are not alone with this. I had a feeling this may have had something to do with YouTube allowing monetisation on any account?Just as an example, I have embedded one of the videos that they accepted earlier today. It is also a video I haven't shared on my blog before, it is a rack focus test on the Canon 50mm F/1.8 II prime lens.
Well be careful..what you ask for. They tend to slam the door on publishers very randomly. Good luck!!
ReplyDeleteThere are other alternatives, especially if you're promoting a "series" of videos.
Like "blip"..vimeo, and I think DailyMotion does monetization.
Yes youtube do have a lot of control, and they usually slam the door without any reason, which annoys me a lot.
DeleteAnd thanks for sharing the other websites, I have a Vimeo account already, but have never heard of the other ones.
