To start earning money from ads and subscriptions on YouTube, creators signing up for the platform’s Partner Program will soon have to meet higher eligibility standards.
According to YouTube’s announcement Monday, creators will need to show at least 8,000 qualified watch hours over the past 365 days or 20 million qualified Shorts views over the past 90 days to begin monetizing within the 20-year-old YouTube Partner Program (YPP).
These numbers have effectively doubled YouTube’s current YPP requirements, which require that creators have 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours over the past year, or 1,000 subscribers and 10 million Shorts views over the past 90 days.
