⏱️ Buy YouTube Watch Hours — Complete the 4,000 Hour Requirement and Unlock Monetization 🚀

✨ There are two gates every YouTube creator must pass through to unlock advertising revenue. The first is 1,000 subscribers. The second — and the one that causes the most frustration — is 4,000 hours of watch time accumulated within the past 12 months. While 1,000 subscribers can be reached relatively quickly with strong content, accumulating 4,000 watch hours can take anywhere from one to three years for most new creators publishing consistently. 📈

⚡ SMMBudy's YouTube Watch Hours service accelerates this process dramatically. We deliver real watch time to your videos from genuine-looking accounts, helping you complete YouTube's monetization requirement in days rather than years — without risking your channel's standing. Once you hit 4,000 hours alongside your 1,000 subscribers, you can apply to the YouTube Partner Program and begin earning from AdSense, channel memberships, and Super Chats. 💰

📊 Understanding YouTube's 4,000 Watch Hour Requirement

💡 YouTube introduced the 4,000-hour watch time requirement as part of its YouTube Partner Program (YPP) eligibility criteria. The requirement exists to ensure that only channels with genuine, engaged audiences enter the monetization program — it filters out spam and low-effort channels while rewarding creators who produce content people actually watch. 🎯

📋 How Watch Hours Are Counted

✅ Only watch time from public videos counts toward the 4,000-hour requirement
🚫 Private videos, unlisted videos, and YouTube Shorts watch time do not count toward the threshold
📅 The 4,000 hours must be accumulated within the most recent 12-month rolling window
🔄 Watch time resets if your channel falls below the threshold after a 12-month period
⏱️ Each hour of watch time equals 60 minutes of real video viewing across your channel's public videos

💡 This means 4,000 hours equals 240,000 total minutes of public video watch time. For a creator publishing one video per week averaging 10 minutes in length and getting 500 views per video, achieving 240,000 minutes of watch time would take approximately two years of consistent publishing. ⏰

💰 Add funds using your preferred payment method.
🔍 Go to the YouTube section and select Watch Hours from the available services.
🔗 Paste your YouTube channel URL (the main channel page — not a specific video URL).
📦 Choose your package — calculate how many hours you need to reach 4,000 total and select accordingly.
✅ Place your order and monitor accumulation in your YouTube Studio analytics dashboard.

🔄 Combining Watch Hours and Subscribers for Fast Monetization

🎯 The most efficient path to YouTube monetization is to work on both requirements simultaneously rather than sequentially. Many creators make the mistake of hitting 1,000 subscribers first and then realising they still need hundreds or thousands of watch hours — losing months of potential earnings. 📉

⚡ SMMBudy allows you to run both YouTube Subscribers and YouTube Watch Hours orders on your channel at the same time. This lets you hit both milestones in parallel and apply for YouTube Partner Program approval as quickly as possible. 🚀

📊 Your Current Status	🎯 Recommended Action
🔴 Under 500 subscribers, under 1,000 hours	🚀 Start both Subscribers and Watch Hours services simultaneously
🟡 500-1,000 subscribers, under 2,000 hours	⚡ Continue both — you are close on subscribers but need watch hour focus
🟢 Over 1,000 subscribers, under 4,000 hours	⏱️ Focus primarily on Watch Hours service to complete the requirement
✅ Over 1,000 subscribers, over 4,000 hours	🎉 Apply to YouTube Partner Program immediately

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

📊 How do I know if the watch hours are actually counting?

✅ You can verify watch hour accumulation directly in YouTube Studio under Analytics → Overview → Watch Time (hours). This metric shows your rolling 12-month watch time in real time. After placing your order, check this figure over the following 24 to 72 hours to confirm accumulation. Most customers see clear increases within this window. 📈

🔍 Can YouTube detect purchased watch hours?

🛡️ YouTube monitors watch time patterns for extreme anomalies such as all watch time coming from identical accounts or watch sessions that are impossibly short. SMMBudy's watch hours use realistic viewing patterns — varied session lengths, diverse account sources, and normal viewing behaviour — designed to appear as natural audience engagement. ✅

📱 Do YouTube Shorts count toward the 4,000 watch hours?

❌ No. YouTube Shorts watch time is tracked separately and does not count toward the 4,000-hour YPP requirement. Only regular public long-form videos contribute to this threshold. If your channel primarily publishes Shorts, our watch hours service focuses delivery on any regular videos you have published. 🎬

🧮 How many hours should I order?

📐 Check your current watch time in YouTube Studio Analytics and subtract from 4,000. Order that quantity plus a small buffer of 200 to 300 additional hours to account for any natural variation. For example, if you currently have 2,500 hours, ordering 1,700 to 1,800 hours would comfortably complete your requirement. ✅

🌍 Is this service available for channels in India, Indonesia, and other non-English markets?

🌏 Yes. The watch hours service works on YouTube channels in any language, region, or content category. We support local payment methods from India 🇮🇳 (UPI/PayTM), Indonesia 🇮🇩 (GoPay/OVO/DANA), Philippines 🇵🇭 (GCash/Maya), Pakistan 🇵🇰 (JazzCash/EasyPaisa), Bangladesh 🇧🇩 (bKash/Nagad), and international card and crypto options for all other markets. 💳
