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.
