If you work from home you probably know this. YouTube channels have been under attack for the last 2 or 3 years by an unknown group of bitch ass people. This group is relentless. They also have a lot of time on their hands, obviously.

Over the past 3 years I’ve probably had about 15 YouTube accounts shut down by an anonymous group YouTube video flaggers who I’ve come up with a name for.

“The Bitch Assed Bandits”

So I’m going to cover a few things you can do to do your best to avoid the formidable YouTube Slap.

How to Avoid The YouTube Slap

Before you get your hopes too high, I want to be the first to tell you the truth. If you promote business opportunities on YouTube you ARE at risk to get your account shut down.

The Bitch Assed Bandits have even gone so far as to even create playlists of all the videos they can find that have anything to do with working from home, home based business, or even affiliate marketing.

So once they see your video they add it to the playlist, then all of their goons and cronies take turns flagging videos of hard working people who are just trying to feed their families.

It’s sad but true that a lot of people think that anything outside of kissing somebody else’s ass for 40 hours a week is a scam or illegitimate form of income.

Oh well.

There are so many good business opportunities out there that if you just find one and go to work you can change your life. However, these shitheads who are going around flagging other people’s videos getting their accounts shut down have made it difficult to get any lasting momentum from sites like YouTube.

What’s even worse is they are now targeting other video sharing sites like Vimeo, which is probably the runner-up to YouTube. This problem is definitely a pain in the ass because there is A LOT of traffic that comes from YouTube, and video marketing in general.

What Options Do You Have To Avoid The YouTube Slap?

Here’s the sad part. There really is no way around it. Here’s why… your main objective on YouTube is to get your videos to rank as high as possible, right? Now the unfortunate thing about that is that once your video starts to rank that’s when The Bitch Assed Bandits are going to see your stuff.

Also, the BAB’s are not the only people you have to worry about, because your competitors are also out there flagging videos so they can take your position and intercept the traffic that you were getting as a result of having a high ranking.

Option 1

You can stop posting videos on YouTube. If that’s your decision you’re going to lose a lot of traffic to your business. So I personally, would just create another account and keep it moving.

Option 2

You can post to the other video sharing sites like Vimeo, Daily Motion, MetaCafe, and whatever else is out there for you to post on. You just have to keep in mind that these sites don’t get a whole lot of traffic in comparison to YouTube. And recently many of these sites have also come under attack.

Option 3

You can host your own videos. This way at least if your YouTube videos get taken down you still have copies of your content out there online. If you want to protect your videos and use your own video players then click here now to learn more.

Things you should never do with YouTube

• Post YouTube videos on your blog
• Put all of your YouTube videos on ONE channel
• Rely solely on YouTube

Those are just a few things you shouldn't do with YouTube. The most important thing for you to know is that The Bitch Assed Bandits are a real gang. And if you step on their "turf" with the intent of making money from your videos then beware. Because these folks will go to the end of the Earth to get your account shut down.
