Road to YPP — type your Studio numbers
580 subs to go
2,650 hours to go
You need 1,000 subscribers plus either 4,000 long-form watch hours or 10 million Shorts views. Then YouTube reviews the channel by hand.
Why 4,000 hours is the wall
Most Indian channels reach 1,000 subscribers long before 4,000 hours. Shorts brought subscribers easily after 2021, but Shorts watch time doesn't count toward the 4,000 hours, so channels end up at 3,000 subscribers and 700 eligible hours. Hindi and regional channels that post 6–8 minute videos need enormous view counts to add up hours: at 3 minutes average view duration, 4,000 hours is 80,000 views of long-form content in a year.
That's the gap this package fills.
What you get
- 4,000 watch hours delivered to one public long-form video (or split across several orders).
- Live price: ₹33,999 on the default option today; from ₹8,470.75 per 1,000 hours.
- Speed: about 500/day, so a few days for the full 4,000 on the fastest option.
- Refill: lifetime refill on the best option — if Studio drops hours inside the window, request a refill.
- Start count + progress on your order page; undelivered hours refunded to your wallet.
Before you order: the checklist
The order box makes you confirm these, because they decide whether the hours count:
- The video is 35 minutes or longer (or the length your option states).
- It's Public.
- It's not made for kids.
- Embedding is allowed.
Also check the video has no copyright claim blocking it in India, and that it isn't a live stream that's still processing.
Smart ways to use the package
Split across your two or three longest videos. A 70-minute podcast and a 2-hour livestream replay each taking 2,000 hours looks more like a channel with a couple of long favourites than a single video with an impossible watch pattern.
Order the gap, not the full amount. If you have 1,900 eligible hours, 2,100 is enough. Less purchased traffic means a cleaner channel for review.
Keep uploading. A channel that stops uploading the week it hits 4,000 hours and applies for YPP the next day presents the pattern reviewers look for.
Fix reused content first. The most common YPP rejection for Indian channels isn't watch time at all — it's "reused content": compilations, movie clips, reaction channels with little commentary, slideshow channels. Watch time doesn't fix that.
Combined package
If you also need subscribers, the 1000 subscribers + 4000 hours package prices both together and explains the order to place them in. For the full requirements — two-step verification, AdSense, community guidelines — read YouTube monetization requirements in India.
Ordering
Paste the long video's link, keep 4,000 (or set your gap), tick the four checks and pay. If your wallet is short, "Pay via UPI" covers exactly the difference (minimum ₹100), and the order is placed automatically when the payment confirms.
