Youtube and Adsense

So here we are, I'm going to rant about something.

I got a message on youtube claiming that I could earn profit from my videos. Except I need an adsense account. I already applied for one a long time ago but got rejected for who knows what reason. Which means now when I try to set this up I get:

"The specified email address is already in use. If you own this AdSense account, please go back and choose 'Use Existing Account' instead."

So I go to existing account but it says I'm previously declined.

So I figure ill apply again using this as my site? you think that will work? maybe.
