Google adsense is a nightmare

 



Why is everything so hard these days?

It's like swimming through treacle trying to get anything done.

Everyone talks in weird letters and short acronyms and I just can't keep up.

I am trying so damn hard to earn a few bob with my blogs and Youtube channels and feel like throwing in the towel.

I decided to check my blogs out as I hadn't used them in a while and there is money I have earned but not reached the £66 threshold to have it released and that will never happen unless I keep posting till I am 90.

Then I wanted to ad adsense to two other blogs I have and they say I can't until I fix something. So I click on the highlighted text to see what I need to do and it's all gobbledegook. Why they hell can they not write in plain english (or whatever language you speak) you need to do x, y and z. Nope they leave you in limbo to spend weeks going round in circles clicking links non of which help.

Then I thought I would put in a bit of effort and do a video a day in December on my YT channel and surely that would improve the subs and views NOPE. 

The other channel I took over in March made it to 1000 subs in December and I was thrilled and had found something I could do quite easily and upload quickly as I am reacting to peoples videos and need them up as soon as otherwise people lose interest.

I had it down pat. I could usually get it all done in a day, then monetization came into play. Now I can grade my own videos but YT keep overriding what I put. Then I have to wait for a manual review and by that time it's too late.

THEN just as I was ok with what I was allowed to do they moved the goal posts and give us no clue of why they have now decided our content can't be monetised!!

Plus I narrated two books for audible and so far haven't earned one penny.

I am chronically sick and bedroom bound, I thought I had finally found something I could do to perhaps get us out of this house but NO.

How many times can you kick a person before they just lie down and stop trying?

Long time no see


I used to be so good about updating this blog and adding things but it just got to the point where I felt I had said it all.

Most people are looking for a light at the end of the tunnel and I didn't want to be the one to say there isn't one!

At this point I have been stuck in my bedroom for 11 years and nothing is changing.

What I really need is a bungalow so I can interact with the family more and have a proper sitting room for us all to sit and chat in.

Our house is 1950's or older not fit for purpose and drafty as the sitting room is merely a corridor from the front door to the kitchen. It was originally a council house and we bought it as a stepping stone. Idea was we would do it up and move on in time.

Ahhhhhh that's when disability came and slapped us round the face. My husband broke his back at work and then developed severe depression which he shows no sign of recovering from and I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia which just steadily progressed.

Doom and Gloom see! Why would I continue to write a blog when I have nothing happy or even slightly uplifting to say?

So I will add my Youtube playlist below and you are welcome to mooch through the videos and maybe get a few tips or tricks that may help you in your journey.

Oh and if you hear of a bungalow for sale for buttons give me a shout.
