At the end of this article, you will have a complete guidelines to grow your channel watch time and subscribers.
Man, it takes alot of time to reach that 4000 watch hour mark. I am on YouTube for the past two years and I have learned alot of things.
4000 Watch hours means 240,000 Minutes. So, if you have 10 videos then you need an average of 24k Views on each of the videos to reach that threshold. But, the more videos you have the fewer average video views will be required for you.
What is exactly watch an hour on YouTube?
Let say you uploaded a 10 minutes long video. On the first day, you got 6 views and every viewer watched the video completely from start to end without skipping. 6*10 =60 Minutes = 1 Watch Hour.
You need 4000 watch hours to comply with YouTube monetization policies. The chances of getting more subscribers will also be increased if you are getting enough views.
Most of the user wants one thing in your videos and that’s it should be “Helpful” and inspired viewers to subscribe to your channel.
There are some Bloggers/YouTubers who will be told you that YouTube in 2020 is very hard and the YouTube market is quite competitive.
They are all lying to you.
I started my YouTube channel in 2017, I was not very consistent until June 2018, and I am just 100 watch hours away from getting monetization. Most of the people didn’t know about the “Compounding rule on the Internet”
A YouTuber with over 10,000 subscribers grow 10 times faster than a YouTuber with 100 subscribers, why? because of the “time” and “his audience”
The number of videos you upload to YouTube, the faster you will grow. More videos mean more watch time and subscribers.

Time to research for keywords and YouTube takes time to rank videos. I have listed 7 tips for you to rank your YouTube Video on YouTube and in Google.

- Add previous videos in Cards and blocks: This is another big thing to keep your user intact. YouTube shows blocks at the end of your video.

- More Videos means more solutions: More videos mean you will have a greater chance to get ranked on multiple keywords on YouTube and Google search. Remember the “Compounding rule” the more videos you have, the more watch time and views you will get and so more watch hours and subscribers.
- Be consistent: If you are consistent then the YouTube algorithm will favor you more. This is also part of the YouTube Algorithm change. Even if you cross 4000 watch time but you are not consistent then YouTube will reduce watch time and you will have to reach 4000 watch time again to get monetized. YouTubers also called it “YouTube burnout” which means Famous YouTubers also have the problem of not getting views if they were not consistent with their channel.
- Promote your Videos on Medium and Quora: In the Blog 3 concept, the user-generated site gets ranked. Sites like Medium and Quora helps you to reach Millions of people. These sites have great domain authority and so they ranked higher in Google search engine. Here is; How I managed to get 950K Views on Quora in Less Than 3 Months.
