The journey to our 1000 subscribers

The journey to our 1000 subscribers

My monetization review approval process took exactly two weeks after I met the 1000 subs and 4000 watch hour requirement. The official approval date was Friday, April 17th, 2020. Compared to the usual 30-day review period, this wasn't a long wait at all. While it pains creators to have to wait for monetization approval during the pandemic, I want to point out this is a much minor issue compared to what we face at large today. Please be patient, be kind to yourself and the creator community.
