Meeting YouTube Eligibility Criteria is Crucial
Currently, there are two types of eligibility criteria on YouTube. The first requires 500 subscribers with 3,000 watch hours or 3 million views on Shorts. The second criteria requires 1,000 subscribers with 4,000 watch hours or 10 million views on Shorts. Remember that you need to achieve these targets within 365 days (1 year).

Additionally, you must adhere to YouTube's guidelines and policies, including Community Guidelines, Terms of Service, and Copyright Act.

Making a YouTube channel become viral requires a mix of planning, content development, and audience involvement. Here are seven practical strategies for increasing your chances:

Identify Your Niche: Select a niche or topic about which you are enthusiastic and have an audience. Being niche-focused attracts devoted users who are interested in your material.

Create High-Quality Content: Invest in high-quality videos with strong production value, clear audio, and eye-catching images. High-quality content is more likely to be shared and recommended.

Optimise for SEO by using important keywords in your video titles, descriptions, and tags to increase your exposure in search results. SEO optimisation allows your films to reach a larger audience naturally.

Post Consistently: To keep your audience interested and returning for more, upload fresh material on a regular basis. Consistency creates expectation and commitment among your viewers.

Encourage Engagement: Build a community around your channel by replying to comments, soliciting viewer feedback, and promoting debates. Engagement tells YouTube that your video is important and can help promote it.

Promote Across Platforms: Share your films on social media, forums, and other sites where your target audience hangs out. Cross-promotion boosts exposure and brings new visitors to your channel.

Collaborate with Others: Work with other YouTubers or influencers in your niche to reach their audiences and earn visibility. Collaborations can introduce your channel to new viewers, who may eventually become subscribers.

By combining these methods with creativity and perseverance, you may improve your YouTube channel's chances of becoming viral and attracting a larger audience.
