When should I apply to become a YouTube partner?

[Joseph R]

I've been wanting to be a YouTube partner for some time. At this point, I don't think I have enough views or subscribers, but I was wondering how many should I have before I apply?

if your videos viewed by thousands of YouTube users, then you can jump in.

[Umair Masood]

To become a YouTube Partner, you must meet these minimum requirements:

* You create original videos suitable for online streaming.
* You own or have express permission to use and monetize all audio and video content that you upload—no exceptions.
* You regularly upload videos that are viewed by thousands of YouTube users, or you publish popular or commercially successful videos in other ways (such as DVDs sold online).

If you have a few hundred subscribers and 100K views you can. Subscribers don't really matter you just really need to have at least 100K total upload views, original content, and own all copyrights. If you do apply!

I would say have at least 1000 subscribers.
