Guide: how to use Monetization Timeline Planner

YPP eligibility is a milestone with a date, and the date depends on choices you can make now: how often you upload, what length, what mix of long-form and Shorts. The Monetization Timeline Planner estimates days to YPP from your current growth rate, recommends the upload frequency that hits 1k subscribers and 4k hours fastest, projects income at each subscriber milestone, and lays out a diversification strategy so YPP is the first stream and not the only one.
