Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to reach 4,000 watch hours?

For most consistent creators uploading 2 quality videos per week with 5–8 minutes average retention, it takes 3 to 6 months to reach 4,000 watch hours.

What is the difference between CPM and RPM?

CPM is what advertisers pay per 1,000 ad impressions. RPM (Revenue Per Mille) is what you actually earn per 1,000 total video views after YouTube's 45% revenue split.

Do YouTube Shorts count towards 4,000 watch hours?

No. YouTube Shorts views count towards the 10 Million Shorts views milestone, but not towards the 4,000 long-form watch hours requirement.
