No need to hurry, the 1000 subscribers can be over many years. My guess is that it for most channels take 1+ year to reach 1000 subs.

For my channel it took about 2.5 years I believe.

I also have thesame questions but with the response am seeing under this post, its depends on how consistent one is on his or her channel I guess, and the kind of Content one puts in, that can make one reach 1000 subscribers, I think

correct, but the point to monetize is achieved 1000 subscribers (depends the channel how long they will take 1,2,3 years or more, but the 4000 watch hour must be in a year only. I ask this question because many my friend said 1000 subscriber must be in a year same as watch time hours.

You need to have 1,000 subscribers (it doesn't matter how long it takes to get them) and you need to have 4,000 hours of watch time in the past 12 months. I highly suggest aiming for the 4,000 hours of watch time. People don't pay attention to that and then when they hit 1,000 subscribers they freak out because they have the daunting task of gaining another 3,000 hours of watch time. But on the other side of the coin if you focus on the 4,000 hours this watch time will get you 1,000 subscribers if you are good at what you do.

That is correct, your friend was not right about that

The logic here is simple. If you're about to get 4000 hours watched within 12 months, and that is one hell of a goal to reach for new channels, then you have a greater chance of reaching that 1000 subscriber goal as well.

2.5 years = two and a half year in my case.

I reached 4000 watch hours when I was at around 200 subscribes if I'm remembering things correctly.
Yeah I was similar. I hit 4,000 hours after about 8 months. The 1k came after a year... and also because of how well the channel was performing when I actually hit 1k I was monetized within about 24 hours. When you hit 1k and then dangle around the 4k mark they may let you sit under review to make sure you are going to maintain that viewership.

How will one know when he or she gets to 4000 watch hours?

You can check the watch hours in your analytics's. Just go to the YouTube Studio (channel dashboard) select analytics in the menu to the left. There right in front of you, you have Views, Watch Time and Subscribers. Change the time period from last 28 days to last 365 days.

Actually, it is much easier to simply click the Monetization link in Creator Studio. It tells you the number of subscriptions and number of public watch hours.
