Daily Watch Hours

Monetization

In May of 2022, I reached monetization status. I finally hit 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours. The subscribers was an easier accomplishment, the 4,000 watch hours in the past 365 days was tougher than I expected. It took me longer than I thought to reach this goal. It took me 1 year and 11 months to reach monetization status.

2023 Goals

I dropped the ball on consistency this year and it impacted my views, watch time, and subscriber growth. My goal for 2023 is more consistent content. I am working on creating my strategy for the year. If you have any advice, please do share.
