Can I monetize my YouTube channel without 1000 subscribers?
Instead of being open to those with 10,000 lifetime views, YouTube has reserved monetization for those with 4,000 hours of watch time within the past 12 months and at least 1,000 subscribers. But fret not because you can make money on YouTube without monetization, even for those who have a small following.

What happens if I do not get 4000 watch hours and 1000 subscribers in 1 year on YouTube?
In order to monetize your channel you must have 1000 subscribers plus 4000 public watch hours in the last 12 months.
