Step 8: Sharing My Small Victory

Finally, my dream letter from Google has arrived.

My heart palpitated every single day waiting for a letter from Google.

The final verification letter which comes at your door-step when your YT channel crosses a benchmark of 4k watch hours and 1k subs within last 365 days.

It consists of a 6-digit PIN.

Well, I make vids out of passion. My side-hustle paid off.

I usually make multi-niche content pertaining to betterment of students/GenZ.

The postman smiled (as if he knows what's inside) and gave my dream letter.
