How to get 1000 subscribers in YouTube within short period?

The YouTube Partner Program or monetization on your channel, the rules have changed recently. Now you need 1,000 subscribers & 4000 hours of watch time. Top 10 tips to 1000 subscribers. if you have already got 1000 subscribers good job, now let's move on to 4000 hours of watch time. It may seem daunting but the first thing you need to look at when trying to achieve this goal is perspective. There's two ways of looking at this you can make the numbers sound daunting or manageable. 4000 hours of watch time it's 240,000 minutes or 166 days of people watching your videos. That sounds pretty terrifying doesn't it? Or you can look at it from a much more manageable perspective 4000 hours is 240,000 minutes of watch time. Divide that by 12 as you need that watch time over 12 months, that becomes 20,000 minutes.

Now you need 1,000 subscribers so let's say 1,000 people watch your videos on a regular basis that means you need 1,000 people to watch 20 minutes of your content a month or less than one minute of your content each day from those thousand people to reach your goals. So don't make things harder than what they appear. break it down into manageable chunks. And a special mention to Kids vs Dad   gaming who introduced me to this mathematical concept.

So on the one hand if we have perspective, on the other hand what we need is patience. Rome wasn't built in a day, your YouTube channel is not going to be built in three or four weeks.
You have 12 months to reach these requirements.

And once you do meet these targets YouTube is not going to immediately monetize your content the day after.
You'll have to go through a review process so if you're always chasing these things that are in control of a another entity you're going to continually frustrate yourself. Now what is much less frustrating is our real-time stats bar that sits at the top of all YouTube pages when you install the Good videos.

It tracks your progress to 4,000 hours of watch time over 12 months with a breakdown graph and a progress bar if you mouse over the statistics. When you hit the 4,000 hours requirement the metric turns from amber to green, for more information on this tool click on the card on screen now.

Okay now for some practical tips about being a youtuber and getting those four thousands hours of watch time.

YouTube is often about differentiating yourself from the crowd, doing something
different but familiar. I know that may sound odd but the chances are if you just have a simple idea about doing gaming videos or beauty videos or vlogging videos the chances are it's already being done. You need to personalize it, take control of your own content, find a particular niche, be the best youtuber that you can be for your content to deliver a valuable message to your audience: take this as an example. Brick Built Replicas has 8,000 subscribers and 800,000 video views.
The channel is about recreating life-size functional Lego replicas of iconic video game weapons from games such as counter-strike and Call of Duty.
Now these two topics Lego and gaming are highly saturated markets on YouTube but look what happens when you mesh the two together.
You create something unique something eye-catching. You may be familiar with both Lego and video games but you've never seen them used in this way.
As a fan of both it makes me want to click on the videos and watch what they're all about. Now there was no overnight success for this channel.
The Video Creator has painstakingly been making these videos for a couple of years now but slowly interest has built and finally he's had a couple of a breakthrough videos which have brought in hundreds of thousands of views.
The YouTube audience is always looking for something new, something exciting but something that they can also associate with question is can you deliver such a thing?

Now if you're not comfortable with creating new ideas you can chase trending or current ideas but if you're a small channel you've got to be strategic about this.

Let's say you bought an iPhone 10 when it was first released.

If you're a small Channel do you really think you can compete with the larger tech channels when it comes to unboxings,reviews, general guidance on how to use a device? You're going to get swamped by all the other larger tech channels.

So you may want to concentrate on one particular feature on the device which you can really dominate with unique contents such as looking at an Animojis.

When I was a very small tech YouTube channel I spent years trying to find a niche and when I finally discovered one I decided to put all of my efforts into it and eventually dominated it. try searching for iPhone screen recorder and you may see a familiar face. For the full story on that click right here.

Next up and something that's often spoken about when it comes to YouTube fundamentals is consistency.

Now there's a couple of ways we can look at this,there is the most obvious form of consistency which is to post content on a regular basis whether it be every day,every week, every couple of weeks;

whenever you have the opportunity to post new content on YouTube that's going to benefit your channel. Usually the majority of your video views come from the first 48 hours of your video's life

so if you can publish regular videos that obviously means we're going to get more views and more watch time. Now understandably for some channels that's not as easy as it might be. Vlogging may take an hour to make the video and edit it whereas if you're doing animation or drawings that could take weeks even months. So think about how you can maximize this opportunity. Maybe you Want  to do a time-lapse of a quick run-through of one of your drawings or a behind the scenes episode on some animation, or some way to produce content that keeps a viewer interested and engaged in between what you would call your hero videos.

You can also a try and repurpose content. Let's say for example you do short tutorials. Well if you have three or four tutorials on the same subject maybe you can put them all together in one piece that's maybe 10 to 12 minutes long. you've got a perfectly sized Youtube video.

Now the other side of consistency is your message or your value proposition.

Let's say you're interested in wrestling, video games, TV shows, the Dallas Cowboys and you cover all of these topics in different videos.

That's just going to confuse the audience: they're not really sure what your channel is about and I see this time and time again.

So when you're a small channel trying to find your niche really focus on what you are truly the most passionate about and throw everything into that area of interest.

To summarize this point I'm going to borrow a phrase from the legendary YouTube consultant

Tim Schmoyer who says: who should be watching and why should they care. I've done a whole video on this subject so take a look if you're interested it's really quite emotional.

YouTube playlists we've talked about them before and you've guessed it we're going to talk about them again.

First of all it makes sense to you as a Video Creator to put all of your similar content into one bucket but for the viewer when they click on a link to take them to a video playlist if they enjoy one video it will autoplay onto the next video from your channel so that's more watch time for you.

When you have good content in good playlist that really ramps up what we might call session watch time.

The viewer is in your mini ecosystem on YouTube and on average audience retention is higher when viewers watch videos from playlists because they're more invested in your content.

If you haven't already tried live streams on YouTube you should at least give it one try. From a purely mathematical and economical point of view.

if you get 40 people to watch one hour of a live stream that's 40 hours, one percent of the way to your watch time goal. Now yes they can be daunting and if you want to get a technical setup like this it does take a little bit of time but it's really good for practicing presenting in front of camera and don't worry if you make one or two mistakes, on live stream you can certainly be forgiven for that. A live streams also represents the perfect opportunity to repurpose content.

If you have a particularly astounding two minutes within a live stream you can clip that from the live stream and present it as a brand-new video to your audience. As you may have noticed on the Many Channel one of our main goals this year is to do a lot more live streams and we're certainly benefiting from creating a much broader community and connecting personally with our audience and those live streams are bringing in more and more views and watch time every time we do one. Earlier on in this video we talked about strategically targeting trending videos to get an immediate quick boost in watch time but if you want sustained, long-term watch time hours the real money is evergreen content.

Whether you want to replace the tire on your car, unblock your toilet or get more YouTube views those terms were being searched for in 2008 they're being searched for today and they'll be searched for in 10 years' time.

Evergreen content is a tough nut to crack because video creators understand the value of these videos so you again need to niche down, find something really specific that really interests you and you think you may find an audience for and then start producing content about it.

This video in itself is a form of evergreen content. We think that Youtubers are going to be searching for the term: how to get 4000 hours of watch time for however long YouTube keep these new requirements in place.

Hopefully if we're successful with this video it will rise to the top of the search terms on YouTube and people will be frequently visiting this content on a regular basis.

And finally when you put all of these techniques and strategies together and you're hustling through the YouTube world making video after video, keep a close eye on how they perform.

When you see particular videos on particular topics or when you use a different style or whether you do live streams. Double down on that content. YouTube is telling you what content it wants to see from you to deliver to an audience and there should be no reason for you to dismiss it.

The YouTube changes to monetization have been a big story and we've covered it a lot and every time we do we notice more people joining in in the conversation and a bigger audience watching our content.

So we've doubled down with more content, providing you with more tools and these are real results.

Eighty percent increase in watch time two hundred and fifty thousand minutes we've met those requirements.
