I just bought 2 YT accounts from 2007, (both with videos and subscribers) that I want to use for a couple new projects I'm working on. But I'm not sure what the best steps are moving forward to 1) not get them banned/flagged and 2) monetize them....
I just logged into one using the recovery email provided upon purchase and everything is fine. I changed the recovery email to one of my yahoo emails, but not sure if I need to do anything else there. Can I change the "contact email" and "alternative email" to other gmail addresses I use?
The original account owner has videos related to MMA and I want to use the channel for a health/wellness channel, how soon can I start making changes like updating the cover art, etc. I know people say to "warm them up", just not sure how long I should do that for.
Another question I have is, how do I go about monetizing it? In the settings it says it's eligible for monetization, but how would that work if the account is technically under a name that's different than mine?
Any advice or suggestions would be welcomed...Thanks!
p.s. Not sure if this is the right forum, but it's video related so I thought it was. If mods need to move it, then go right ahead
