Just Posted My First Video

Congrats on getting your first video out! The first one doesn't need to be perfect. Keep experimenting with the title, thumbnail and opening few seconds, and use the analytics to understand what viewers respond to.

Just post consistently and don't get distracted. Focus on your content quality. This is the single most important metrics for long term growth. There's also new youtube partner program (will effective from FEB next year) that doubles the criteria to get eligible on YPP. So new creator need an active and engaging audience who is constantly interacting with your video and this will come organically if you post quality content. So content is most crucial part currently.
 
Keep posting your scheduled shorts and one video a week. And share them on relevant social platforms, travel communities, and with friends to get the algorithm better.
 
yeah it;s cool 40 views for your first video is a good start and just keep posting consistently and also focus on improving your titles and thumbnails because shorts can also help bring new people to your channel.
 
For a new channel, that level of engagement is quite effective. You need to maintain channel activity and create better content to boost brand recognition and grow your customer base and follower count.

Just posted my channel’s first video on yt and received about 40 views in the first 24 hours. Is this a solid starting point? I obviously wasn’t expecting too much with having no subs or anything like that so this seems to be within reason. I’ve already got a couple shorts scheduled to post in the next few days but anything else I can do to promote? I’m trying to post one video per week

Congrats! Yes 40 views in 24 hours are a solid starting point. Keep it up consistently and you just might to make some serious money!
 
Getting 40 views in 24 hours on your first YouTube video is perfectly fine, especially for a channel with no subscribers or activity history. You shouldn't judge the channel based solely on the first video.
 
40 views with zero subs is fine for a first upload. I wouldn't overthink promotion yet. Keep the weekly uploads going and use the Shorts to feed the same niche. First 10-20 videos are mostly about figuring out what people actually click and watch
 
40 views for the first clip is great. Further promotion could be done by posting reels and interacting with other channels with similar content.
 
That's a good start. You could try using Shorts to add direct links to longer videos; that's my suggestion.
 
45 views with no subscribers sounds pretty normal for a first video I'd focus more on consistency than the first videos numbers Keep testing titles thumbnails and shorts and give the channel some time to build an audience

If posting one video per week is a common standard in your niche, do it. If your competitors are posting more videos per week, you will need to increase your numbers.
 
Wanted to give a bit of an update since this thread got a lot of traction. Since I posted the first video, I uploaded a few shorts as well. Most of them got about 100 or 200 views but one of them did blow up and get about 700 views. I published my second video this past Saturday, as of today the video is at over 400 views. I’ve gotten about seven new subscribers from the video. I’m at over 1000 views for the channel and I believe a little over 10 watch hours overall things seem to be going very well.
