YouTube Videos – Multiple YouTube Accounts

YouTube Slap
If you are still not aware, YouTube has been on the rampage and many network marketers have been hit by the YouTube slap and have had their YouTube accounts either suspended or, worse still, terminated. If internet video marketing is your main form of marketing, you definitely want to be sure that you abide by the YouTube Community Guidelines and some tips provided in “YouTube Videos – How To Beat The Slap”.
You might think that you would not be that unlucky and never be hit by the YouTube slap. However that is just wishful thinking on your part. I am sure you do not want to grow your YouTube channel, establish your brand, upload hundreds of videos with valuable content, gain thousands of subscribers and faithful followers, earn thousands of video views and then one day logging into your YouTube accounts and discovering that they are all gone! POOF!
If you currently have multiple YouTube accounts, I recommend that you immediately shut down all but one account. This is especially so if you had created all your accounts with the same email address. Take note that only one YouTube account is allowed at all times.
When YouTube does track down your multiple YouTube accounts, you may not receive any warnings and just have your YouTube accounts here one day and gone the next! You do not ever want to go through this horrible experience. Watching years of hard work and effort being snatched away from you is like watching your baby being kidnapped. This is a nerve wrecking experience I do not wish on anyone. As such, I am sharing this with you and hope it helps.
Should you decide to delete all your YouTube accounts, do ensure that the one account which you are going to keep does not have the same email address as any of the YouTube accounts that you are deleting. If that is not the case, immediately log into your surviving YouTube account and change the email address.
To be extra safe than sorry, you may even wish to check if your Internet Service Provider is able to get you a new IP address. If YouTube goes by the rule of one YouTube account per IP, then should you have multiple accounts, you will want to change your IP address immediately.
At the same time, I have learned that you should never upload YouTube videos on your blog. I did that and now have to get back into my blog to check for any videos there as they are all not functioning and worse still, when someone clicks to view the video, they see the message “This video has been removed due to terms of use violation.”
So if you wish to avoid the YouTube slap and be able to continue with your internet video marketing and online branding via YouTube videos without any hitch, be sure to follow the tips and guidelines listed. I wish you all the best.

So I am not allowed to create another youtube account if i want to run my videos for a different business?
As far as I am aware, it is one youtube account per person. I am sure there are those who have found ways to get around it, one of which is to sign up for your other account via a different ISP.
Yes, YouTube is definitely on a rampage. Now, one thing I don’t understand is the IP thing. It seems ridiculous to me…
So, only 1 person per family can have a YouTube account? So a family of 6 that only has 1 IP at home… then what? Makes no sense.
Internet Cafes and other work stations? Millions of people every day work on shared work stations and visit Internet Cafes. A good portion of those people log in to their Google Accounts products. So, it’s possible that a single IP could have up to hundreds of logins to different YouTube (or other Google Accounts products). How is this factored? How do they know that my IP is for a single person in an apartment, as opposed to an Internet Cafe? Again, makes no sense.
One thing I know that is in the TofS at YouTube regarding IPs… Google says that I can’t login to my YouTube account from 2 different IP addresses on the same day. So, if I check it out at work, then I’m out of luck at home this evening? Ridiculous!
Those are just a couple examples, but there are many others that indicate that the IP has little to do with it, beyond your IP being “deemed” problematic at some point and affecting future account creations and video submissions.
But, I would like to figure this out. Any new thoughts?
I must say I agree with James…although I admit I’m in the midst of learning a lot about YouTube now that I’m looking at it as a serious marketing tool.
My issue is that I’m a musician with 2 very different Target Markets. One is for my guitar teaching and the other is for my own original music. The folks who want to learn guitar are actually quite different from the people who would appreciate my music in many cases.
It’s be nice to have 2 different channels for these 2 separate aspects of what I do.
For now, I’ll do more research until I know more.
Best success to all
