Get 4000 Hours Watch Time And 1000 Subscribers Fast And Safely

Are you wanting to be a Youtuber to earn a lot of money? You have to cross a threshold of 1000 subscribers and 4000 hours of watch time within 12 months to start making money on youtube as it is the new policy of YouTube for monetization. Previously the terms for monetization was to complete 10k views on your channel but now it has been changed. In this post, I will tell you how you can complete 1000 subscribers and 4000 hours watch time fast and safely.


Why 4000 Hours Watch Time And 1000 Subscribers?

Previously, Youtube was a good medium to earn money. Their policy for monetization was very easy to complete. Many users were uploading meaningless videos on youtube to earn money. Ads were playing on these videos but advertisers were not getting any profit as their ads were playing on meaningless videos. So advertisers started leaving youtube and selecting other platforms to grow their business. To get back those advertisers, youtube has changed its policy to make youtube a better workplace for both creators and advertisers.


If 4000 Hours Watch Time And 1000 Subscribers Are Not Completed?

Now you may be thinking that what will happen to those old channels which will not complete 4000 watch time and 1000 subscribers until 20th February. Here is your answer.
On February 20th, 2018, we’ll also implement this threshold across existing channels on the platform, to allow for a 30 day grace period. On that date, channels with fewer than 1,000 subs or 4,000 watch hours will no longer be able to earn money on YouTube. When they reach 1,000 subs and 4,000 watch hours they will be automatically re-evaluated under strict criteria to ensure they comply with our policies. New channels will need to apply, and their application will be evaluated when they hit these milestones.- From Official Youtube Blog 
As you can read in the above paragraph if you will complete these conditions after threshold time your monetization request will be reviewed but strictly. 
For new channels, they will get a time for 12 months to complete these conditions.


How To Get 4000 Hours Watch Time And 1000 Subscribers

As you have to complete 4000 hours watch time means 240000 minutes. If your videos will be watched for 240000 minutes you will complete 4000 hours watch time.


1. Upload Videos regularly


Upload videos regularly will make more videos available on your channel. And more videos will result in more views and more watch time. You can also try uploading 2-3 videos daily if you have enough time. If you upload videos daily then there are more chances of your videos to be viral. Now if one or two videos of approx. 5-minute length goes viral and gets 1,00,000 views, then if viewers watched your video for minimum 2-3 minutes then you will have watch time of 2,00,000 to 3,00,000 minutes which means a watch time of 3,333 to 5,000 hours. And all of this can be done in 2-3 months only if you upload videos daily.

Ask Other Youtubers to Promote Your channel

Ask other YouTubers in your niche to promote your channel. Now, most of the YouTubers have community tabs. Ask them to give a link to your video on their community tab. Try to contact with YouTubers having a subscriber base of 50,000 - 5,00,000 subscribers. Many YouTubers are already helping those YouTubers which haven't completed 4000 hours of watch time or 1000 subscribers and last date(20th February) is near to them.

Make Quality Videos

This is the thing which should be followed by all YouTubers. Because quality videos result in more sharing. 
more sharing = more views = more watch time
Give more details about the topic on which you are making videos. 

Make Videos On Trending Topics

If you will make a video on a topic that is being searched most on the internet then your video will get more views. Make sure to upload these videos before your competitor upload video on that topic.

What Are Trending Topics?


Trending topics are topics which are searching most on the internet. You can use Google Trends to find these topics. For tech YouTubers, the launch of a new device/gadget is a trending topic. For entertainment niche, latest released movies and songs are trending topics. For cooking niche, nothing is trending as anyone can search for any dish recipes. For comedy or news niche, things happening in your country are trending topics.

Promote Your Videos

Promote your videos on more platforms in many ways. The more you promote your views will be more. Promote your videos on all social media platforms, in Facebook groups related to your video topic. 
  You can also try Google Adwords if you are willing to pay for promotion of your youtube channel. 


Use End Screen And Cards


Use end screen and cards in all your videos. Add  3 videos and 1 subscribe button on end screen. When a viewer will reach the end of your videos he will find more choices to watch at your end screen. And 1 views of your one video will give one view also to another video.


You may be thinking that above-mentioned points are only for increasing your watch time. But when your videos will be watched for more than 2,40,000 minutes you will also get more than 1000 subscribers by those views only.
