We’ve kept you up to date with the various changes YouTube has made to monetization over the past year, such as the new monetization icons, but this may be one of the biggest to date: As of February 20th, 2018, YouTube is limiting monetization to channels with 4,000 hours of watch time in the past 12 months and 1,000 subscribers. This new threshold is a part of YouTube’s effort to tighten requirements for monetization in order to prevent spammers, impersonators, and other bad actors from hurting the YouTube ecosystem.
This may seem like a lofty goal, but it’s easy to check if you’re already qualified, and if you’re not there yet, there are plenty of steps you can take to achieve the goal. Whether you’re looking for ways to boost your channel stats or want to reach new heights, we’ve outlined helpful tips to get your numbers growing.
