If you saw my video last week, I'm curious... are you going to apply for monetization "early" (at 500 subs) or just wait until you get to 1, 000 and are actually eligible for ad revenue? (No wrong answer here! Just curious what you're thinking about all this. 🙂)

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my YouTube channel 8 months ago about self development. Now I have 896 subs and > 700 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.

Very helpful video, as a creator of short films I had a big problem meeting the monetization requirements, the monetization package from fam

I just noticed last night about the lowering to 500 subs!!! I am at 318 and am very excited! For sure, the 250-350 sub range really tests your ability to stick with it, even when growth is slow. Thanks for you video!!

I wish I had this video back when I was starting. I was so mad because I had great content but wasn't getting any attention. 1k was mission impossible. I was lucky when I found out I can boost my channel with initial subs just enough to start getting noticed. I got myself first couple of hundred subs for very low price (personally used Fame ster). After that my main channel gain a ton of organic traffic.

Superior content. It amazes me how some people have hundreds of thousands of viewers and all they do is chat and use key terms to attract viewers. This video is very well produced and is solidly informative.

She made me feel like I could do it, too. Was feeling discouraged after watching some content creators fault find small you tubers. They were not wrong, but everything felt so impossible. Thanks to this one.
