Congratulations on achieving 1,000 YouTube subscribers.
If you also achieved 4,000 public watch hours in the past 12 months,
you'll be able to monetize your channel and start generating a passive income. In this video,
I'll show you all the features that will now be available to you so you can grow and make money
from your channel. If you're still working to get your first 1,000 subscribers or want to get your
next 1,000 subscribers, get my video course 'How to get 1,000 engaged YouTube subscribers.' Click

One of the first things that happens to you when you get 1,000 subscribers on YouTube is you get
a congratulatory email from YouTube and you get an announcement on your YouTube dashboard. Claim
a custom URL for your YouTube channel. Instead of having a bunch of numbers and letters in your
YouTube URL, which makes it hard to remember and hard to spell, you can claim a custom URL. For
example, the name of my channel is Drost Video. I claimed the custom URL youtube.com/drostvideo.
You only need 100 subscribers to claim a custom URL, but if you haven't done it,
do it now. Click the link in the description to watch my video on how to claim your custom URL.
Mobile live streaming. You only need 50 subscribers to begin live streaming on YouTube
from your mobile phone, but if you're still under 1,000 subscribers, you'll be restricted on the
number of viewers that can appear on your mobile live stream. What happens after you get 1,000
subscribers? After reaching 1,000 subscribers, it may take several weeks for YouTube to remove the
audience limitation for mobile live streaming. If your subscriber count decreases during this time,
it may take a little longer. Keep working on growing your channel. Keep in mind, you can also
live stream from your computer or using a webcam. [music]
If you live stream from your computer, you don't need 1,000 subscribers. One of the
biggest benefits of live streaming is you can make a deeper connection with your audience
and also achieve 4,000 public watch hours quickly and easily. If you've achieved the
goal of 1,000 subscribers, but you still need 4,000 public watch hours, I highly recommend
doing live streaming once a week. Do a test live on private or unlisted before you go public.
Super Chat and Super Stickers. Super Chat and Super Stickers are a great way to connect with
fans during your live chat sessions. When they purchase a Super Chat, the message is highlighted
and bumped to the top of the chat session so it's easy to see amongst all the other chat messages.
Viewers can also purchase Super Stickers, which is a digital or animated image that pops up in the
live chat session. The eligibility requirements for Super Chat and Super Stickers is that your
YouTube channel must be monetized, which means you must have 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours,
and also be over the age of 18. It's a great way to generate some extra income from your YouTube
channel. Channel memberships. Channel memberships are a great way to generate a monthly income
from your YouTube channel. Viewers can support your channel by making monthly payments
and get members-only perks like badges, emojis, and other goods.

and badges. Community tab. The Community tab is a great way to interact with your subscribers on
the days that you're not uploading videos to your channel. Community posts can include polls, GIFs,
text, images, and videos. They always appear on the Community tab, and they also appear
on the home and subscriptions feed. Typically, I'll use community posts to tap into the mind
of my target audience by adding polls and asking questions. This helps me to decide
what kind of content I should create in my future videos that my audience would be interested in.
The eligibility requirements for community posts used to be 1,000 subscribers, but now it's only
500 subscribers. Make sure that you're using this feature on a regular basis. It's also a great way
to share your latest videos with your YouTube community. Ad revenue. The beauty of monetizing
YouTube channel and displaying AdSense ads on your YouTube videos is that you can generate a passive
income every month. If you've achieved 1,000 subscribers but you still haven't achieved 4,000
public watch hours in the past 12 months, then work towards accomplishing that goal as fast as
possible. Even if you haven't achieved those 4,000 watch hours yet, make sure you create an AdSense
account and link it to your YouTube account. After your channel has been reviewed and
approved for monetization, make sure you enable monetization for all the videos on your channel
so you can start generating revenue from it. Keep in mind, videos that are over eight minutes can
have multiple ad breaks throughout the video. This will enable you to earn more from longer videos,
but also keep in mind, you don't want to turn off your viewers by putting too many ads in
your videos. YouTube tends to promote videos that keeps viewers watching for a longer period of time
or watching multiple videos in a row. What if you haven't got your first 1,000 subscribers yet,
or you want to get another 1,000 subscribers? Watch the video on
the screen right now on how to get your first 1,000 subscribers in 2022 and beyond.
