Creator's Key Takeaways
The subs that you get from a um promotion will count towards your subs needed for monetization. What does not count though is the watch hours.
I sunk $200 for two weeks and got 4,500 subs.
Promotion can definitely be an assist. You know, I absolutely would not say that it's your primary.
Make sure you got some good content already there. And if you do promote, promote something that you've organically had success with.
