How to get more watch hours on youtube

I've been on YouTube for a few years now, I almost had the watch hours required but then they changed it and it's impossible. I've tried making longer 1hr videos, shorter just over a min videos, 10 mins, 20 mins, 30 mins but no change, I only seem to be getting 1 watch hour most days which will be nowhere near the 4000 required in a year.

Narrow down your content to a specific niche that attracts a loyal audience. When people know exactly what to expect from your channel, they’re more likely to stay for longer.

Hi there,

I hope you are doing good. I want to help you with your you tube, well, I don't do videos or blogs but one of my close friend really worked hard for it and I can share with you some of the things we did that helped his channel grow:

try to be updated with the trends

use nice music

better aesthetics

catchy captions

better subtitles (if have any)

including some new faces in you videos

getting outdoor
these are the few changes we did to help his channel get more views hope this helps you too.

Regards

make sure youre actually posting content for an audience that exists, if youre posting something unwanted you won't get much views, and also make sure to keep a theme and not branch out too much, if people stay they'll stay because they like that content
