Frequently Asked Questions
You need 1,000 subscribers plus either 4,000 watch hours in the last 12 months OR 10 million Shorts views in the last 90 days to join the YouTube Partner Program and start earning ad revenue.
Growth varies widely. New channels might gain 10-50 subscribers per week, while established channels can gain hundreds or thousands daily. Consistency, content quality, and niche selection are key factors.
At 1,000 subscribers you unlock: eligibility for YouTube Partner Program (with watch hours), community tab access, custom channel URL, and ability to go live on mobile.
Focus on: consistent upload schedule, SEO-optimized titles and descriptions, engaging thumbnails, responding to comments, collaborations, and promoting on social media. 24/7 streaming also helps by increasing discoverability.
Silver Play Button at 100K subscribers, Gold at 1M, Diamond at 10M, and Custom Play Button at 50M. These are sent automatically when you reach each milestone.
