What Happens When You Reach 10k Views on YouTube | Results

Hi and welcome to Creator Fundamentals! I'm Dan Courier, and I'm here to help you build a foundation for YouTube success. About a month ago, I had a question: What happens when a new YouTube channel reaches 10,000 views?

As you might already know, YouTube requires a minimum of 10,000 views before it will monetize your channel. This led me to wonder: will YouTube be incentivized to promote your channel more once you hit that milestone and get monetized? Today, we're diving into that question and examining the results. Let's get started!

The Premise

The initial idea seemed logical. YouTube, which is in the business of making money, might be more motivated to promote channels that are monetized. Many people believe this to be true, and I was curious to see how this plays out after hitting the 10,000 view milestone.

Initial Observations

Creator Fundamentals hit the 10,000 views mark about a month ago, giving me ample time to analyze the data to see if there was a significant increase in traffic to the channel post-monetization.

Traffic and Monetization

Shortly after the channel got monetized, I noticed a new plateau—a higher average in daily views. My initial thought was that monetization does provide a boost. However, upon conversing with fellow YouTubers at VidSummit and further analyzing my data, I realized that there wasn't an actual bump associated with hitting 10,000 views.

The boost I observed was due to a live stream I conducted. Live streams can significantly boost your channel, so they might be worth considering if you're not already utilizing them.

Conclusion

Unfortunately, it appears that simply getting monetized does not have a significant impact on your channel's traffic. While many people believe that monetization provides a boost, there is no substantial data to support this. However, if you focus on the fundamentals and continually work on improving your skills, your channel will grow.
