Never Do These Things on YouTube... Ever!

[00:00] you can make money, you can grow a community, that can cause all kinds of problems for you, and in some cases, even compromising the security

[00:15] So I'm gonna tell you what you need to know, But because the privacy information is so important, that doesn't want to go through the channel penalty stuff.

[00:30] which we're gonna talk about the reason here in a second, that says notify your subscribers. and I don't even know where it started,

[00:43] Well, it's not. and then another person will be like, "Oh, hey, and then here we are having to make videos

[00:56] In fact, this can actually hurt you in front of the people that are most likely Instead, YouTube says, "Viewers get a maximum

[01:09] from each channel in a 24-hour period. you can disable some notifications This way, you can prioritize which videos

[01:22] There's all kinds of information like this Next is heavy profanity or saying tons of bad words, Doing so, if you choose, can cause your videos

[01:38] And to be clear, it's okay to say bad words on YouTube. It's okay to share your opinions very colorfully but the idea is you just don't wanna get carried away

[01:52] or your monetization limited. because you're not gonna be able to show your content Next, do not ever under any circumstance show people

[02:06] or how to get around specific features on other websites. but don't make it because if you do, in order to lose your channel.

[02:21] if you get three strikes, you're gonna lose your channel a couple of those videos and then everything's over for you, In fact, I got a community guideline strike on this channel

[02:34] And what happened was I made a video that showed people and get the links for a thumbnail because I was showing people how to do that,

[02:48] and fortunately, I was able to get it released that you do not wanna do this This is only if you need to download your own thumbnail

[03:01] inside YouTube Studio at the time, But fortunately, I was able to get it, you know, overturned. where you do not use the required disclosures by YouTube.

[03:17] or doing giveaways on your YouTube channel, For example, you have to have official rules that YouTube is not sponsoring your contest in any way.

[03:33] so in the event that you collect any information you need to clearly state exactly If you plan to do giveaways, I'm gonna put links

[03:47] Next is adding too many hashtags to your videos. in a single video or playlist. for viewers or listeners who are searching.

[04:01] we'll ignore each hashtag on that content. from your uploads or from search." are two completely different things.

[04:16] and then you have all the words, you know, mashed together. of your upload process on YouTube where you add words Hashtags have results pages,

[04:31] then YouTube shows other videos that are using that hashtag. is you do not wanna add celebrities if you are not talking about that content creator

[04:45] YouTube and viewers see this as misleading, then they can end up losing the channel over those Also, you may or may not know

[04:58] just like videos can. then in that case, you are putting yourself at risk But if you are talking about that person in your video

[05:11] to use the image as long as you have rights If you do make content where you do talk about celebrities on Wikipedia, they're a great place for images

[05:25] about giving credit and things like that, Next, you do not want to use music or graphics or videos that you do not have the legal right to use.

[05:41] or if you didn't get the license from the free resource you should not use it in your videos And because you don't have permission to use it,

[05:55] but if you're using stuff which is like a real life thing that you gotta deal with. that you use in your YouTube video so that you can make sure

[06:08] On our free music service, Creator Mix, to use the music however you want. to use that music indefinitely,

[06:20] that gives you permission to use it. so that you can ensure that you have permission to use it. "Hey, my buddy said that I could use their song

[06:33] If that friend of yours ends up having some record label then that person can cause problems for you. Now let's talk about safety,

[06:48] and when you put yourself out there, and sometimes it's people and sometimes it's people that can cause a lot of problems

[07:00] First, do not let the same email on your About Me page The reason for that is because for someone to, one, abuse the email

[07:16] Two, it also is one step that is removed Instead, set up a completely different Gmail account This is gonna be the email account

[07:30] and you are also gonna have people reach out Basically, if somebody wants to contact you for any reason, YouTube channel account email clean

[07:44] to make sure that you can clearly If all this is making sense so far You also wanna be extremely careful

[07:58] because there's a lot of things where they're using Google and it's not really necessary. or things that might need access to your YouTube channel

[08:13] However, only connect to those things. Instead, use a different account that you use and websites currently have access to your account,

[08:27] Click Security on the left and scroll down the page. to third-party apps and services." that are not absolutely necessary for your YouTube channel.

[08:42] or around your neighborhood, of what it is that you're showing in the background. Make sure that you blur out house numbers.

[08:55] make sure you blur out, you know, some of those numbers. make sure that you blur those out. that say where you work or bumper stickers on your car

[09:07] You wanna make sure that you don't show stickers for where you work or maybe the complex that you live in. or any information about a company

[09:20] Now, I know some of this might sound a little bit overboard, or at least mindful about those types of things, to what it is that you're doing on YouTube as well.

[09:32] make sure that you hide your address from public view through all registrars. like directnic.com/whois and look up a domain name.

[09:46] somebody can find your address from this. offer that service for free, at least for the first year, and you just wanna make sure that it doesn't expire.

[09:58] that you're being mindful of your email address I personally use Camtasia as one of the ways that makes it to where if you do accidentally show something

[10:12] if it's just you can't help but show the email address, If you already upload something to YouTube or something else that you want to hide.

[10:26] inside of the editor that is available I'll put a link to Camtasia down in the description Next, never click on a link from your email.

[10:40] Other people are like, "Huh, why?" there's a lot of scamming going on right now that they are a brand.

[10:52] This is great. Love what you're doing. And then you're like, "Sweet! And then you start having those interactions

[11:05] They send you a PDF, you download it, because you've downloaded that to your computer that ends up getting into your computer

[11:17] directly into your YouTube channel The same exact thing can happen when you click on links So you just wanna make sure that you're being very mindful

[11:31] One thing that I like to do is if somebody sends me an email then in that case I'll actually go and and just look for it. So because of that, I'll actually search

[11:46] And I don't download PDFs Because hackers and scammers are getting so good, my friend Liron has an entire YouTube channel about safety

[11:58] when it comes to these sorts of things. if that's something that you're interested I have a video about hidden YouTube settings

[12:11] and you can just go ahead and click into that now Thanks for watching. I'll see you over there.
