I APOLOGIZE IF I POSTED IN THE WRONG SECTION. ALSO, I APOLOGIZE FOR ANY WRONG GRAMMAR MADE. THIS IS NOT MY NATIVE LANGUAGE, AND I AM DRUNK AND CRYING WHILE MAKING THIS POST. SO I HOPE YOU'RE NOT BOTHERED WITH THE PUNCTUATION AND CAPITALIZATION. I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND.

TL;DR
i'm nobody. ignore me thanks. this is a novel so dont waste your time reading if you're not into this.

Hi, first i want to introduce myself. i am 25 yrs old from a third world country. currently on my 4th year college but since there is a pandemic, i guess im on vacation until the quarantine lifts off here. since i am from a third world country, living here is so hard specially if you have no job and still studying. but living here is so damn easy when you're earning at least $500-$600 a month. $500 a month can actually cover up your rent, electric and water bills, internet connection and food. yes you wont have any left for leisure but you've covered the most necessary things.

i am writing this because i am so sad for what happened the other day to my money making method.

before i get into that, let me tell you on how i got into this method.

i am a member of BHW for god knows when, but i know for quite some time. my original account got banned because of i think spamming(?, i dont remember but it was about 2-3 years ago). i dont remember what i spammed but i know that i am not active here in bhw up until about a year ago.

(all of this is happening about 7-9 months ago)
i have been lurking here, reading and absorbing anything and everything i can to make money. i am so interested on making money from home and basically doing nothing when the income starts flowing and you just have to be mindful and keep on scaling.

fast forward a little bit, i tried doing instagram method(the follow/unfollow) for about 5 months. honestly, its easy yes and i can see why this is for beginners like me but this is not for someone who doesnt want to do social media post for about 2-6 hours a day doing and repeating things like this. and also this method takes time so i know this is not for me.

as i was looking for another method, i realize there was a bunch of youtube method here but they are using cpa for their journey. so me, having a big brain, i used the search bar and searched youtube method. here is where i found that there is a dedicated section only for youtube.

speaking of youtube, i love youtube. i am a youtuber myself and i am constantly trying to grow my youtube for 2 years now and i have almost 7k subscribers, but only getting around 150+ views per video and around 1000 views per day. my niche is so specific and my audience is so targeted. i am targeting local audience. i am from a third world country, so you do the math for my cpm and my monthly revenue. tip: less than $10 per month lol.

anyway, getting side tracked there. so i love youtube, i searched for youtube method, not cpa, and i see a ton of methods on how to get monetized, and a lot of youtube non cpa journey. i got inspired. i got motivated, the money they are targeting, the money they are making, the stats they are updating, the journey they are pursuing. i told to myself, i want to do that also.

so now, here's my youtube money making method comes into play. i am a fan of these certain personalities for about almost a year now. and i noticed there are tons of videos of them on youtube so i told myself, this is what my niche will be all about. so i made videos about them, make some kind of compilation video, then after only 2 weeks, my channel got 1k subs and 4k watch hours then i immediately submitted my channel to be reviews for ypp. i was skeptical at first because i only have bout 7 videos uploaded and i think 4 of them have copyright claims but i yoloed it.

after a month, my channel got accepted into ypp i dont freaking know how that happened but to me, it was a blessing in disguise. the channel was doing well despite of the copyright claims. then I uploaded 3 videos and it got somewhat blew up. those video managed to got 100k+ views and generated about $100 each in the span of just 2 days. the whole week i managed to earn $1000+. that's just 7 days of uploading videos. so a normal person will just keep on doing this because the channel is doing great. i can make around $2k+ in just a month with these. this is the highest and the best part of mylife. at this moment, i can see all of my dreams coming towards me. i told to meself, i can finally make my dad retire from his work, and i can help my family financially and pamper them, give them every possible thing they want as long as i can provide it. all thanks for this method.

i got greedy. i got arrogant. i am boasting to all. i feel like im fucking bill gates because of this earnings im making. i brag this to all my friends. i told my dad that i will give him his dream motorbike. i told my brother that he can quit his boring job and help him put up a business. i told my mother that he can stop doing government job and will provide her all the necessary things she wanted all her life. I GOT SO FUCKING GREEDY! I GOT TOO FULL OF MY SELF. I'M ALREADY COUNTING THE CHICKEN EVEN BEFORE THEY HATCH!

...just after i earned my first $1000+, the 8th day comes. my channel got demonitized. all of my earnings are on hold. my channel got demonitized because of those claims. i got so comfortable because it says on my stats that it doesnt affect the channel. so i thought, that it is ok because it doesnt affect the channel at all and got stupider and stupider as the time goes by.

i was devastated. i was so sad. my head hurt, i got dizzy, to the point im having trouble breathing. i thought i got infected by the virus. just when i thought i am living the life, there comes the big trial. and that trial is so fucking hard to come by, and it broke me. i was diagnosed with mild depression not too long ago, and it took all of my savings for the medication. it helped yes. but i cant afford to get depressed right now because i dont think i can handle it anymore.

yes i didnt invest anything on this. this is not my original content. this is not mine, i am just making compilation videos of some personality and make a ton of of it. i know what ive done and i know all my mistakes.

why am i saying all this? im not asking you for money believe me, thats the last thing i want to do. but what im asking you is, if theres a room to hop on your back, to get me back on my feet, even for a slim chance, even for a room to fit an ant, i would love to take that. i asked a user here on bhw not too long ago, if he can help me with my making money. i can give him a cut of my earnings on my main channel. we talked for a bit but after i showed him my personal channel, he kind of ghosted me. idk why but maybe he didnt want to work with me because i dont have anything good to offer to the table which is completely understandable.

but i am asking you this. if you can fit one more desperate person on your back to tag along to your journey, or to help me get started again. i would love to take that.

i know this post will receive a lot of hate. i know there will be someone that will tell me to fuck off just because. some will even say that i am not worth helping because i dont have anything to add to the table. i dont have the skills theyre looking for. im not special, or whatever the fuck is. i know some of you will empathize with me, and i know some of you will help me.

if some of you actually wanted to help me, these are the only skills i have:
- i love computers. i know a shit ton about hardware and components. this is my personal niche on my channel. like what LTT(linus tech tips) do.
- i can edit video. but since i dont have motivation, i dont think i can edit well.
- i have a ton of knowledge about youtube.
- I have paypal

these are the things i cant do:
- i cant invest. i dont have money as of the moment.
- i cant do anything other that what are stated above.

I'm slowly loosing interest. I don't have motivation anymore.

this is the end of the novel. i am ready for your negative comments.

If you read it all, thank you so much! I really appreciate your time. Please don't feel obligated to help me. I just made this post to share what I've been going through and to release just a little bit of what I've been thinking and feeling. I can't keep all of this to my self. And also, I don't want to bother my friends just because of this for they won't understand but you guys I know will.

damn that's tuff, I did something similar, but at least you learnt a lesson from that
 
meh they were being bitches, u shouldn't apologize to them lol
Nah, it's fine. They didn't like the post so I should apologize to them for not liking it. Also, I bothered them I think because of the font colors so I removed it.
 
Stop feeling sorry for yourself and take action. It's easier said than done.

You seem to have what it takes though as you've had success before :)

Visit the My Journey section here on BHW and take a look at the different threads if you're in need of a new method.

YouTube can be ruthless like that. You have to figure out your own method on how to make money long-term without getting banned.
 
Oh I don't know. thanks for reading.


Thank you so much for reading. I appreciate your time.


Thank you so much. You did youtube as well?
No, but my venmo was locked with 1k in it recently
 
I'm so sorry for bothering you.
Take a joke once in awhile. IM can be difficult because once you found some sort of a goldmine there is gonna be a brick laid in your way. There are many ways to overcome demonetization and there is lots of useful info on BHW for this. Like i said, IM is a constant struggle, especially if you are starting out at first. You need persistance and will have lots of failures along the way.

If you managed to earn that money in that time, you know you have the potential to do it once again. So, get back to the drawing board and gather some ideas. I am telling you. With persistence you will be successful again at one point or another.

I'm so sorry for being sensitive and taking your joke seriously. Anyway, thank you so much for these kind words. I think yeah I should keep on persisting and not looking at the result right away. IM is though but I will still try one more.
 
I am also from third world country like you are, you are still okay because you are still single, compare to me i have 4 kids to feed what happens to you happens to me also in just a split of seconds boom the demonetize button hit me! my mother support me and my uncle that time for 8 months and i have recovered my channels but now still not stable but i am investing in online sites with gives you earnings high interest but scam site i study this carefully and this become my foundation now. youtube is not stable as u think it might demonetize you in just seconds. don't upload not your content mate you will be caught no matter what you do just create hundreds of videos. i am 6 years now on youtube feeding us and all expenses
 
I read it all...
So before you get demonetized from youtube you're doing good. So why don't you try again with some twists.

We all have been there mate, don't give up.

Cheers
 
I can smell the weekend coming
IDK why but I laugh at this. I guess, thank you.

Yeah I will keep on doing youtube because this is what i love doing. I think the reason why im like this is because this is the first time this happened to me. But I hope I can get back up.
