How did you achieve YouTube monetization in just 5 months?

I focused on a unique niche—scratch-off lottery tickets. This helped me tap into a specific audience that enjoys watching the thrill of scratching tickets live. My videos are simply me scratching them off, often in silence, but there's something captivating about the anticipation of winning that keeps viewers engaged.

I leveraged live streaming as well. This not only allows for real-time interaction with my audience but also boosts watch time significantly. I noticed that my audience enjoyed the spontaneity of live sessions, which kept them coming back for more.

Consistency played a huge role in my growth. I uploaded frequently and made sure to stay engaged with my audience. I learned that it took just a few of my videos to gain traction, and most of my results came in the last month. This showed me that persistence really pays off.

I also experimented with different content types. While my main focus was on scratch-off videos, I found that looping my top-performing long-form videos helped retain viewers and boost my watch hours. This strategy led to exponential growth, and I started seeing daily increases in subscribers and watch hours.
