4,000 YouTube Watch Hours

I need my channel to cross the 4,000-hour public watch-time threshold required for YouTube monetisation. All hours must be genuine, comply with YouTube’s policies, and show up accurately in YouTube Studio analytics.

I am open to any ethical growth tactics—from optimising SEO and playlists to external promotion or community engagement campaigns—as long as the hours are acquired organically (no bots, click farms, or TOS-violating shortcuts). Please outline:
• The methods you will use
• An estimated timeline to reach 4,000 hours
• How you will track and report progress in YouTube Studio

If you have past results achieving this milestone for other creators, feel free to reference them.
