Greetings to all, it would be interesting to share the experiences of anyone who has a youtube channel.
How long did you wait before starting to have traction on YT? In your opinion, is there a sort of sandbox effect like for SEO with google? Or is it just a question of how many videos have been uploaded? If so, after how many videos did you start getting traction?

It’s less so about the number and more so about the quality. You could go viral with your first video and gain an audience within a week. You also could be uploading several hundreds and see minimal results with each. I’ve had a bit of the former experience.
 
it can happen in 1 day. or it can happen within a few months to years.
good content shines through.
 
I've seen a lot of channels succeed with only one video. They carry great quality content tbh.
 
I have seen channels that have gone viral with very few videos, but the meaning of my question was about Youtube search. So the traffic exclusively coming from the internal youtube search engine.
 
In YouTube, new channels are promoted so you have better chances of getting viral in start.
 
IMO, it's super hard to predict WHEN or even IF your videos will ever get big. Especially if you're going full whitehat.

On YouTube, you can get one of your first videos to explode and then receive miniscule views over the next hundreds of videos.

There are thousands of such channels.

Conversely, there are channels that just randomly start getting millions of views only after they've published hundreds or thousands of videos.

I dont think promoted but you have fresh stats on new channel. So when you start uploading bad videos that get low retention and CTR. You are going downfall with your channel. But if you work hard even at first video to make it as good as you can, first few people that open the video are most important becaue if they watch most of it maybe even engaged, it will show up for more people. Its not really hard just make really good videos that people actually want to watch.
 
I'm experienced in yt my short answer is post videos that can't be ignored by viewers ( make your video titles and thumbnails catchy) if you're in a big niche expect more viewers but if you're in a small niche expect less viewers
 
Honesty, opened up a channel 3 days back in my niche. I finally did it after 4 damn years after pissing off by instagram. Crazy reach on my 3rd video

I guess its much more about consistency
