Hello everyone! I updated my YouTube Banner based on the advice from Alexa in her Day 3 video. My banner was pretty bland before today. I would link some other opinions. Is it professional? Is the purpose of my channel clear? I am a math teacher and I create videos on lessons and advice/tips for math for students. It is also geared towards parents so they can help their child at home. Also, I am aiming for a clean and welcoming look. I did not have a face picture shown before so that is new as well. What are your thoughts? https://www.youtube.com/@ShekinahMathCenter

Hi there everyone My apologies for this long message. Wondering if I could get some advice. As I am really confused, did my activity on my channel yesterday trigger YouTube's monitoring systems to remove the channel, or I unknowingly violated something they are strict about? Is there any easy way of finding out? Than an appeal that gave me a rejection. :o( I thought I found my niche and was working hard the past 2 months, and it was looking so good with the traffic to my videos getting stronger and not less than 250 to 1800 the past few days. And then I was shocked to see a message from YouTube that my channel was removed for violation of policies and deceptive or spam content.... I appealed. Because I think the following may have triggered something:o( Yesterday, using VidIQ's AI Coach, I learned that reused scripts with different visuals may not be allowed, so I immediately deleted 2 videos. I also deleted a couple of videos to repost them with relevant thumbnails.I did repost them immediately after deleting them. And deleted about 20 older ones just to clean up my channel. I included this on the appeal. Almost instantly, I got this message that leaves me wondering what or who replies in seconds: We reviewed your channel carefully and have confirmed that it violates our spam, deceptive practices, and scams policy. We know this is probably disappointing news, but it's our job to make sure that YouTube is a safe place for all. Looks like it is so much of a. trouble to communicate to YouTube. I am wondering if I should escalate. It further reaches out to them for a direct response to know the exact issue via the community Or just start over with a new channel? Because this fateful channel had only 118 subscribers and 289 watch hours, although the 3 months of work were solid. At least I learnt what works and what to be careful about. Is it ok to open with the same channel name? Or to be safe, I could start over with a completely different name with another email ID? or will I be blacklisted. It's so horrible to not know what went wrong. If I am legally allowed to have another youtube channel that could monetize, Can the original videos I made for the channel that was removed be reused?

Tyrone recently pivoted away from a niche that wasn’t fully aligned with who he is. When he came to me, his channel focused on finances and budgeting. He had successfully pulled himself out of debt and wanted to help others do the same. And while that story mattered, it wasn’t the full picture of who Tyrone is or what he’s here to do. There was a deeper calling he’d been ignoring—and that disconnect was draining his motivation and momentum. Through some honest (and not always easy) conversations, it became clear that what truly lit him up was something entirely different. Pivoting isn’t easy. Admitting “this isn’t it anymore” takes courage. Choosing what you actually want—and fully committing to it—takes even more. I’m incredibly proud of you, Tyrone. Your commitment, clarity, and work ethic are paying off, and the way you’re showing up now is powerful. This level of drive makes you unstoppable. I’m sharing his story because many of you feel this too. You know you’re meant for more. You feel the pull toward something different—but changing direction feels scary. Here’s what I believe deeply: when you know, you know. And when you listen to that knowing and act on it, it can lead you straight into your best life. Keep going. You’ve got this.2026 is going to be miraculous.
