YouTube Partner Program requirements in 2025

YouTube has two tiers of monetization Early Access YPP and Standard YPP. Both require your channel to comply with YouTube's monetization policies and be in good standing.

Standard YPP (full monetization)

  • 1,000 subscribers
  • 4,000 public watch hours in the past 12 months OR 10 million valid public Shorts views in the past 90 days

Early Access YPP (fan funding only)

  • 500 subscribers
  • 3 public uploads in the last 90 days
  • 3,000 public watch hours in the past 12 months OR 3 million valid public Shorts views in the past 90 days

How to reach 4,000 watch hours faster

4,000 watch hours = 240,000 minutes of watchtime. Focus on longer videos (10–20 min) with high retention, and use YouTube Shorts to drive subscribers to your long-form content. ShortPurify can clip your existing long videos into Shorts automatically to grow both metrics simultaneously.
