Making Mashup songs for YT- question about Monetizing

Hi,

So I've successfully uploaded some pretty neat mashup songs, about 4 different ones so far and all has been good, but I haven't thought about enabling adsense on any. Only one of my uploads was detected by YT to contain copyrighted material- "Copyright-protected content found. The owner allows the content to be used on YouTube."

I give credit to the original artists in each of my uploads, and I know there's probably a chance any one of these musicians could come and file a complaint with yt, as I usually don't ask "permission" from them beforehand.

I have at least a link to my paypal.me in the descriptions, anyone with advice tips that have done mashups before on how to keep it safe/ best way to monetize? There are some mashup creators on YT that have over 100k subs, and they seem to be doing fine.

I wouldn't want to anyway, but I think there's a lot of opportunity to direct the listeners to some kind of link in the video's description

you will be copyrighted If your videos will have more views that the original.

Get that songs licensed and uploading unlisted

Not unattainable too.
In my opinion, this is the safe way to monetize. Otherwise, he will be copyrighted. Hope you got it. Thank you

Getting it licensed? I'm using copyrighted material. I'd assume I'd need permission from Dave Matthews and the musicians that I included in the song that did the instrumental part? Btw, usually the only copyright notice I get after uploading is that they find I use a song (melody) from Polyphia, but Polyphia allows their content to be used by others, so I don't get any copyright strike.

You would have to fight so many small fights to research, mashup, upload, promote, get views on the videos, and then just to have a conversion rate of 0.01% with a link in the description?
You would be better off just spamming.

Or learn how to promote something with paid ads, and when you get good it's infinitely scalable.
