My YouTube Got Demonetized — Do I Still Get Paid?

[TrumpMine]

Hi everyone!


I’m hoping someone can help me with a problem. I’m new to YouTube.


During my first month, I could see my earnings from Jan 31–Feb 28 in YouTube Analytics, but I didn’t see any daily updates in Google AdSense.


I actually passed the payout threshold early that month.


Then, on March 3, my channel got demonetized.

I have a few questions:


If my channel gets remonetized, will I still get the money I earned from Jan 30–Feb 27?


Also, should daily earnings show up in AdSense? I didn’t see any daily updates there, but YouTube Analytics was showing daily revenue just fine.


One more thing—when I reapply for monetization, does YouTube check my private or unlisted videos, or just the public ones?

Yep, you’ll earn some money for it.

I’ve seen both sides of this. One time I still got paid, and another time I didn’t after monetization was taken away.

You should know by around March 14. If the money shows up in your AdSense, you’ll get paid. If it doesn’t, don’t panic yet—there may still be a way to get it.

If nothing shows, the payment won’t come right away. I talked to three YouTube support people because I’ve been demonetized about nine times. They said YouTube holds the money for about 48 days after demonetization. If you get monetized again during that time, you can still collect it later.

So if you don’t get paid this month, you could apply again on April 6 and get approved. Any money made from February 2 to February 27 would then be paid in the April payout.

If you get turned down again, the money is gone. You would have to wait about 32 days, and that goes past the 48-day limit.

I hope this is clear and helps you out. If the money doesn’t come, just wait until you can apply again. A few days before you do, remove any reused videos and clean up your channel. After that, you should be okay. Also, don’t upload anything risky until you get paid.

What went wrong? Why did YouTube remove money from your channel?
