Buying YouTube subscribers for monetization? Subscribers are only the first gate.

• 1,000 subscribers, at the time of writing.
• A watch-time requirement: public watch hours over the past year, or public Shorts views over a recent window, at the levels YouTube sets.
• No active Community Guidelines strikes, and a channel that follows YouTube's monetization policies.
• 2-Step Verification on your Google account, an AdSense account to link, and residence in a country where the program is available.
• A review of the channel itself before YouTube approves it.

Watch hours can't come from accounts that don't watch. A channel can sit at 1,500 bought subscribers and a few dozen hours of watch time indefinitely, because the subscribers were never the hard part.

Meanwhile YouTube's fake engagement policy prohibits artificially increasing subscribers, views or likes, and the platform removes spam accounts from subscriber counts. A channel that fell back under 1,000, or that a reviewer finds full of empty subscribers, has made its application harder, not easier.

• Publish on a schedule you can keep for a year, because watch hours accumulate slowly.
• Make some longer videos that people choose to finish: they build watch hours faster than anything else.
• Use Shorts to be discovered, and point viewers to your longer videos.
• Group videos into playlists and use end screens, so one view leads to the next.
• Grow subscribers with real people who may watch; that's the part we can help with.
