I'm selling a digital download (women's clothing micro niche) which is selling nicely. I was pleased and started scaling with YouTube Channels, which got traffic from Pinterest. My sale rose to $700+ Paddle, $100+ Adsterra, and $150+ YouTube per month.

The problem started when I got copyright claims and notices (on my Cloudflare, Paddle.com) when my site rose above 20K+ visits a month.

I was shocked today; my Google Ads account was suspended for violating our Circumventing Systems policy of Google, which I never did. I know it was the person who sent all copyright claims to my service providers (Google, Paddle, Cloudflare). Luckily he doesn't know my hosting because Cloudflare hides the IP.

I am not worried about YouTube, as I know their weakness as how they resolve the copyright issues. So the Pinterest is, as I am not anything violating there except the video links to them of various YouTube channels.

I know a complaint would be filed to my Domain Provider Namecheap. Is it also worth to be worried too?

I know Gumroad and Sellix, which I can use right now (I'll need to replace the Paddle link with them). But I know they will do the same to me. Further, I can use Crypto Payments, but my niche buyers need to learn more about it.

I don't have PayPal and Stripe right now. I am exploring using E-Junkie (Paid Plan); maybe I can get relief. Or Please dear members, advice me on it, some options which you think is best for me.

Are you sure it was the increase in visitors? Or an angry previous customer flagging you. If you have competition in this space, they may be flagging you.
 
I am not sure what you are selling here but I advice you to create a similar product and make it your own! Change the name and rewrite the content and you are good to go.

Otherwise split the traffic into multiple websites to stay under the radar.
 
So, conclusion: Stop depending on third-parties, invest and create your selling infrastructure hosted on real offshore servers and delete all fingerprints to be sure.
 
Spin the content and add your own sauce to it. You can also combine different topics together and get unique content.

Actually I can't, it's like instructions (very precise). So I can't spin or change the order.

That's something I am considering, but one thing is holding me back is the Visual Photography of the product itself contained in the Files. It's a women stuff and We need to display the final outcome of it.

I have a professional to re write whole documents but I have not a person to create compelling photos like the one contained in the files.

All of my traffic is coming from Tier-1, All Russia Taiwan are blocked. I have setup Wordfence on my WordPress (The blog side of the section).

My site was hacked 7 times before the Wordfence setup. I am in talks with my processor, as Paddle.com has the list of content (mu Site URLs) which they want to completely remove from my site.

No bot can manually do this. I am getting DMCA notices (2 received from Cloudflare), and CF forwarded it to my hosting provider. I am super excited as my hosting has not reached me to threaten to block my account.

The Cloudflare is real thing here as it hides the IP and the Hosting provider. So the person complaining has to rely on CF for this.
