YouTube Requires 1000 Subscribers and 4000 Hours of watch time for Monetization

Last updated April 12, 2018

YouTube’s new Approach to YouTube Monetization:

https://adwords.googleblog.com/2018/01/a-new-approach-to-youtube-monetization.html

Stricter criteria for monetization on YouTube!

Previously, channels had to reach 10,000 total views to be eligible for the YouTube Partner Program (YPP).

So that they can monetize their YouTube Videos.

Starting January 16, 2018, YouTube has made it even harder!

Now, new channels will need to have 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 hours of watch time within the past 12 months to be eligible for ads.

YouTube will begin enforcing these new requirements for existing channels in YPP beginning February 20th, 2018.

So if you’re trying to apply for YouTube Partner Program, these are the new requirements.

If you are already in the YouTube Partner Program, you may be removed from the YouTube Partner Program if you do not meet these requirements by February 20, 2018!

As for anyone who has reached 10,000 total views since December 2017 (like UTECHPIA), YouTube has put these accounts under “review” since early December, which basically means this policy has been in effect since December 2017!

UTECHPIA has about 1500 subscribers, over 31,000 views. And yet, has made $0.00 from Ad revenue.

Hopping over to the Monetization Tab, you can see in the video that UTECHPIA only has around 1100 hours of watch time in the previous 12 months, which is less than the required 4000 hours of watch time, I guess UTECHPIA won’t be making money from YouTube’s Partner Program for awhile….

So let me know in the YouTube Video comments:

Does this new policy effect you?

How do you feel about this new policy?

Is YouTube making it way too hard?

If this information was helpful, please give this video a thumbs up.

DJI Mavic Air leaked! It’s a smaller Mavic Pro with better camera!

Last updated April 12, 2018

I went to Costco today, and saw the 2016 DJI Mavic pro for $200 less than when I got mine just 2 months ago!!  Now, I know why…..

I went online and saw that DJI is going to announce a new Drone Tomorrow (January 23, 2018 at 9AM EST).

You can buy it on DJI’s website now: http://click.dji.com/AN3PNHFUXRQu57eUaT0NVg?pm=link

You can buy it on Amazon:  http://amzn.to/2F33haO

CORRECTION: The official specs are now out, it sadly does NOT have 4k 60FPS.  It only does 4k at 30FPS.

Check out the reviews by CaseyNeistat:

Another Great Review: iJustine:

They showed a teaser photo of the drone.

And just this morning there has been a bunch leaked photos of the Mavic Air released.

It looks like silloutee of the teaser photo is this Mavic Air!

Rumored specs are:

  • It will be smaller and lighter than the 2016 Mavic Pro

  • It will include a 32 MP Sphere Panoramas

  • 3-Axis Gimbal

  • 4K video at 30 fps

  • Gesture Control (SmartCapture)

  • Obstacle-avoidance sensor

  • Foldable arms

  • 21-minute flight time

  • Remote Control will be included.

  • Multiple body colors (Arctic White, Onyx Black, Flame Red).

  • Price at $799

I’m not sure what will be the better buy, a reduced priced 2016 Mavic Pro or a 2018 Mavic Air; they will probably be priced REALLY close considering the discounts stores will have on the older Mavic Pro.

Although Drones have been getting really popular, I didn’t get to fly my drone much while I was in Hawaii because the beautiful state parks don’t allow it.  In general, I’ve noticed that there are more restrictions on flying drones.  But when you are allowed to fly it, the footage is totally worth it!

Are you excited about the Mavic Air?  Are you thinking about getting one?  Will it be your First drone?  Let me know in the comments below!

FYI:

I’ve had the Mavic Pro and has a really hard time flying it home against some heavy wind, so a smaller drone might have a harder time, but I don’t think by much.
