Not all goods and services are allowed to be sold on YouTube. Keep watching to find out what not to sell in your video so that you can keep your channel safe and monetized. Hi, this is Freedom Quick Tips where we do our best to sift through policies and give you the information you need to help keep your channel stay within the lines and in the black. YouTube is a huge platform with over 2 billion monthly users and that represents an amazing sales potential. But part of the success of YouTube is that it takes pains to be a generally family friendly brand safe platform and that means that not everything can be sold on YouTube. So what should you watch out for? Here's what YouTube has to say about. Don't post content on YouTube if it aims to sell directly any of the items listed or links to sites that sells these items. Making the sale of these items possibly by posting links, emails, phone numbers or other means to contact a seller directly is not allowed. Note that this is not a complete list. Number one is alcohol. The beverage, not the antiseptic. Stolen credit cards or other financial information. Counterfeit documents or currency. So, no fake IDs. Drugs. The illegal kind of course. Exposives. Organes. So no organ trafficking on the platform. Please. Fire arms and certain fire arms accessories. Nikotene products. Not just cigarettes. Online gambling casinos. Pharmaceuticals without a prescription. Meaning you can't sell prescription drugs without a prescription. And it's also worth noting that Google allows pharmaceutical manufacturers to advertise in select countries only. Sex or escort services. Unlicensed medical services. Human smuggling. Now, here are some examples provided by YouTube regarding the policy. So pay close attention to these two. Linking to an online gambling casino in the video descriptions or comments. Rule of thumb if you paid for a random chance of winning something that's considered gambling. Advertising escort, prostitution or erotic massage services. Content instructing how to purchase drugs on the dark web. A video of a user making a purchase with software that generates fake credit card numbers. Including a link to an online pharmacy that does not require prescription. Posting a link to gambling or sports betting sites within a watermark. This policy applies to videos, video descriptions, comments, livestreams, and any other YouTube product or feature. So if it's on YouTube, it's covered by this policy as it's part of the community guidelines in violating this policy will result in a strike and you might end up losing your channel. And we don't want that. Do we? Alrighty, recap time. YouTube is a great place to sell stuff, but please make sure to know what's allowed. If it's not legal globally, then it's probably not a good idea to sell it on YouTube. Otherwise, your channel may get demonetized or terminated and that isn't worth making a sale.
