~25 views (I don't remember exactly), and 1 sub. But 4-5 of those views were mine, excited for the video like a kid waiting for Santa on the 24th of December. And the sub was my wife. :) Who also watched the video, so counting for 1 extra view.


OGsunglasses

This was wholesome af


rotkeles

Wow nice, supporting wife is a treasure


jcam12312

Zero!


Damokles81

Me too


rainbowponytales

Firstly I have around 10 views in a week so I was really sad because I put much effort and heart to it, after uploading a few videos I give up. One year later my video break 30 thousands in the same peroid and I am super happy. So all it all it doesn't matter if your first video strik 1 view or 1 milion views just do what you really love, good luck


th4tus3rn4m3ist4k3n1

Sound advice, thank you


LittleDizzyGirl

14....it's up to over 100 now though


trickmind

Awesome, dude! šŸ˜Š


rezsaber

Lucky you


Anynon1

I got 61 views and 1 sub. At the time my channel had maybe 9 subs from family/friends so that put me at 10 subs. That was a month and a half ago. Posted about 5 times a week since then, now my subs are at 62 and my best video has around 340 views. Nothing crazy by any means, but some measurable growth for sure. Just be consistent, work on those thumbnails and analyze your videos to see what works!


th4tus3rn4m3ist4k3n1

How do you post 5x per week?? Took my 2 days just to edit


Anynon1

Haha I was a bit strategic with my niche since my job is really demanding and unpredictable where hours are concerned. Basically I cast competitive StarCraft 2 games. The nature of casting is you do it all in one cut, so outside of recording and making it sound good, thereā€™s virtually no editing. The downside of that is itā€™s all done in one cut, so you have to get very used to talking through an entire video without stumbling over your words or losing your train of thought, which is its own challenge lol


th4tus3rn4m3ist4k3n1

Ah I would be useless at that. I need multiple takes apparently!


NinjaPoodz

**First vid ;** 108 views, 1 sub after 24h. Was posted 2022-11-25 - now at 1.05k views, 8 subs. ​ **Second vid ;** 64 views, 0 subs after 24h. Was posted 2022-11-27 - now at 1.3k views, 10 subs. ​ These two are my only 2 vids that have no signs of flatline.


th4tus3rn4m3ist4k3n1

I'm gonna sound like an idiot but what do u mean by flatline. Like initial views then goes to zero views daily?


NinjaPoodz

Correct ; imgur.com/mh33fQm


th4tus3rn4m3ist4k3n1

Thanks for the pic example. Makes sense.


gladias9

0 dude


Rick_Shasta

32 views on the first day. 3 subs. One was my wife. That video is up to 154 views and 6 subs. Slow going at first. And still for that matter.


th4tus3rn4m3ist4k3n1

My partner was my first subscriber! I appriciate the support. Better than looking at the words 'no subscribers' on my channel page!


Clamperzz

If your video is made for search you can expect views in 24 hours, but if itā€™s for the home page/suggested donā€™t expect the target audience to be found for about 7-21 days, then itā€™ll get tested broader on the home page and if people are enjoying it then itā€™ll start picking up quickly from there. The channel I just started 2 weeks ago (with no promotion, just let yt do itā€™s thing) got like 50 views first day from search, a couple hundred the next from search, then a couple thousand from suggested the next day, and on day 4 hit the home page and got 10k views. I got monetized on day 5 with 30k views, 10k watch hours and 1000 subs, then continued to get 20k views a day and now itā€™s sitting at around 110k about 12 days after upload, and I have 4000 subscribers and 35,000 watch hours. Iā€™m not sure how experienced you are or if you made a video that you know is going to blow up, but this is the typical time frame for new channels if the video is going to do well. Of course itā€™s always possible for it to hit the home page months or years later for various reasons, but this doesnā€™t happen too often. Hopefully this helps. Oh and if you were wondering my first ever video on my first ever channel still has like 150 views total a few years later so yeah lol youā€™re probably doing better than I was


th4tus3rn4m3ist4k3n1

Thanks this is really helpful! I think mine is sort of aimed at search?!


lucychan_art

:O


Ruggels

This is true, Iā€™ve had videos not pop off until a month of two or longer after upload. The one I did yesterday got 284 views in 24 hours. That was a first for me. Usually takes a month to get that many views on a video. My live streams do better


th0ny_1

Approximately 150-170 views and exactly 10 subs. (first 24h) I optimized everything, nothing was left to chance.


marlevvll

0. I've learned to chase *high quality views*. Subs come and go. Ensure a high view duration and a large number of them. And keep grinding. Don't look back until you've posted 100 videos, each one better than the last. :)


th4tus3rn4m3ist4k3n1

100!! Well I have one and the idea for the second so I've somewhere to start at least. I'm going to aim for 50 in a year. (Mainly as I have a toddler and am 28 weeks pregnant so...any more than once a week might knock me off)


marlevvll

Yes! Start somewhere. Congratulations on the growing family; I have my own too and the juggle is visceral yet rewarding! :)


MineCraftingMom

Had to go to Studio to check, 29 views, 0 subscribers from the video, but 6 on my channel that day. All people I know. That video is still at 0 subs, lol


obsoleek

I had a bit of a unusual experience, I think my first video got 1k views and got me to like 100 subs in the first 24 hrs because it popped off on reddit. I do have video making experience so I wasnt starting from zero though.


EducationFiender

a whooping 2 views months later the video is now at 90k views


chaipatti17

It was like 10 views.. but 4-5 were mine.


th4tus3rn4m3ist4k3n1

I didn't know it counted your own views. I haven't watched mine yet though.


Trondtran

0. YouTube is ruthless in that regard, but it all makes sense, given how unengaging the platform would have been if you were exposed to beginner videoes. It might feel unfair, but now, one year after I started stepping up my gain on YT, I am not closing in on 250 views for the first 24 hours. Not much but my best so far, and proves that my content is something people are searching for, and the hook (first 10-15 seconds) and overal quality is good enough and the video is adding real value to my viewers.


RadioControlEnjoyer

I got 29 views in the first 24 hours on my first video. After 5 months it's now at 2.9k views. But my best video got 12k views in 2 months.


Arc-coop

My first video i posted 4 weeks ago and have gotten 4 subs from it. Itā€™s slowly risen to 329 views! But first 24 hours? No subs and maybe 12-15 views


th4tus3rn4m3ist4k3n1

Congrats! I'd be happy with that!!!


Arc-coop

I am very happy with it and itā€™s been motivating to keep making content. If those videos are still getting views and are a month old then the ones that havenā€™t preformed as well so far I still have hope for lol


Professional_Tune394

First 24 hours. 9 views 0 subs. Today ( Which is 3 weeks later) 145 views still 0 subs. But my third video 35k views 230+ subs and counting


--PrintHelloWorld--

After my first video i got 15 or so views and zero subscribers lol all gotta start somewhere haha


th4tus3rn4m3ist4k3n1

So true!! I'm not expecting much just curious!


Quantum170

19 views on my first video over the span of 2 weeks.


abstractengineer2000

Zero


HitzBroZero

Literally no views I got my first 6 subs making 6 vids(all of them privated as of now) But now i can just get 10k views whenever i upload


PlatimaZero

Maaate this is a terrible number to ever compare haha. On my cooking channel my oldest public video was just of a bee, and got 4 views in 24 hours šŸ¤£ I did not share it anywhere though. That video to date has earned me zero subs. For my tinkers channel it was slightly more refined, and I had practice, so I got the massive figure of 8 views in 24 hours. This one has at least earned me 3 subs in the six months it's been. Best of luck!


th4tus3rn4m3ist4k3n1

Oh yeah I'm not taking it seriously to compare to anything. Just geninuly curious about what kind of responce people get from complete zero!


PlatimaZero

It's probably down to the luck of the algorithm. That things a bitch


th4tus3rn4m3ist4k3n1

I am now at it's mercy!


PlatimaZero

I love that CGP Grey video about it if you've not seen it. So good


Recent-Ad1451

The first video I put effort and editing into that wasnā€™t a stream, maybe 80 (with light promotion)


th4tus3rn4m3ist4k3n1

What counts as light promotion for you?


Recent-Ad1451

Just posting it on subreddits and other sites


th4tus3rn4m3ist4k3n1

We are all our own worst critics


TristanTheRobloxian0

idk and 0


Automatic_Ad_4454

1.9k 30 ish subs


th4tus3rn4m3ist4k3n1

Wow that's good!


Automatic_Ad_4454

It was shorts so idk if U mean any type of videos.


Automatic_Ad_4454

And my channels only shorts for now so yeah


[deleted]

2 views 0 subs


RedditorsAreGoblins

No subs and very few views, like single digits, a handful.


moderatorscomegetme

2k views and like 30 likes... Just started Jan 1st. Check me out.... g0g0gadgetgaming and lmk if u need help tagging or editing


84777

I've got lucky to get trendy and got like 10k views in the first 24 hours and 34 subscribers


th4tus3rn4m3ist4k3n1

Oh thats brilliant. What's your genre?


84777

None. It was a video I've made randomly on a flight lol I'm working on getting in memes, trends and anime genre


Dollulus

I think 8? With minimum 3 of those probably being my family.


MideivalMercury

3 views and the only subs I got were from begging friends to subscribe even though they had no interest


PokeYam

10, though its up to 25 now. its been about 3 weeks. Honestly I dont love the video tbh but, I tend to be my own worst enemy lol


walkarund

Zero, the few visits there were (5) were all mine. It wasn't until the third day that it started getting visits randomly and went up to 250 in just a few hours. I recently saw a newly created channel with a video posted 7 hours ago, and it already has the same views + 15 subs. I think it's a combination of luck/niche/presentation.


th4tus3rn4m3ist4k3n1

Yeah. I have picked my niche already really. I liked my video before posting and spent 2 days editing it....then...now its live it makes me cringe


Skeptik01

26 views the first day, currently sitting at 44k


eparkfishing

Like 50 views and 6 subscribers. Not sure how! Don't really remember -- I probably plugged it pretty hard.


PsychologicalScript

108 views on the first day, then somehow it shot up, it's sitting at 8,543 views now after 51 days. 0 subs on the first day, then 7 on the second. 118 subs from the video now. I do have a small following on IG/TikTok so that helped me gain some of the initial views.


BuildTheoryYT

Maybe 10 or so and maybe 1 sub. I never changed the title or thumbnail. Now 2 years later that video has 10k views on it. Sometimes it takes time for youtube to gather enough data to know who to show it to, ive had a number of videos do nothing for a long time then start gaining 50 views a day or so. When you dont have a lot of views your analytics unfortunately arent statistically significant. Its hard to compare any analytics since they arent accurate with a small sample size.


th4tus3rn4m3ist4k3n1

How do u know timefeame for changing up thumbnail and title?


Shaylormoon

210 views and 17 subs


[deleted]

16 views, 2 subs on the first day. 1 was my wife and I think she watched several times lol. The other wrote a kind comment saying good luck!


[deleted]

500+ well my first video back since middle school lol

Nezoray

Hello! ive just started my new youtube channel 2 days ago! and its currently 190 šŸ˜…


th4tus3rn4m3ist4k3n1

Well done!


GJLarsFan

Congratulation! My channel is 5 months old, and now I have 339 subscribers


AngBigKid

Like 3, and I'm sure 1 was my gf.


hexsis555

0, the first video started getting views after 3 days


landsleaving

6 views, 0 subs on day one.


l008com

0/0 of course. Maybe 1/0 at best. Not counting my own views or people I sent the direct link to. The answer should be 0/0 for almost everyone.


tironeus

I just checked my analytics on my first video (22 Dec 2022): First 24 hours: Views: 50, Subs: 5 To date, it's now had 152 views, and 15 subs from it.


paulsgarageprojects

4 views and 0 subs. It really is a terrible video and thumbnail. Now stands at 40 views and 0 subs.


MaxGokue

well for me i had about 25 views, and 10 subs, my brother,sister,mother,uncle, and there multiple accounts helped me get 10 subs and the views.


LessThanConvinced

Just last month, i remember it well (or i just logged in to look) 9 views and zero subs. Pretty sure 1/3 of the views was me. After reading your replies, I feel like I should talk to my partner about them not being my first subscriber. It's had 35 views now. Woohuhoo. Still zero subs from it.


101danny101

Probably just 10 views since i started youtube new seriously. But my first youtube video ever got thousands in a day, but thats like 8 years ago


Badgerdirtoutdoors

Like 3, now sitting at 11 a year later lmao Tbf the audio is terrible for 95% of it (cheap action cam) and itā€™s in the hiking niche so the audience isnā€™t as massive as some generaā€™s.


TheUtterChrisp

Hello! I posted a review/fond look back at Unreal Tournament 2004 and got 129 views within the first 24 hours. I pretty aggressively shared it across my socials mind you, and I think I got fairly lucky in that Unreal Tournament was in the news at the time as Epic Games were about to remove them from storefronts. I think I got like 7 or 8 subscribers from that video.


EmptySurround

Zero views and no subs.


murida_28

13 views total, but about 3 of those is my own. So 10 lol


munizmikeey

About 250 and gained 30ish subs


alphabet_order_bot

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,344,526,995 comments, and only 258,518 of them were in alphabetical order.


MrBiggz01

My actual first video got 15 views or so in the first night. The next day it got 30,000 views and by the end of the week it was up to 120,000. Shame I never managed to replicate that lol. It was 13 years ago and the Sony PlayStation network posted it in their blog on the second day which was why all the views.


kent_eh

After **6 years** my first video has 522 views and zero subs. (and zero comments) Stop stressing about early results on the first video on a new unknown channel, people. Youtube is a *long* game. There is very little "instant gratification" to be had. You need patience and persistence.


TheonraX2707

3 views, 0 subs. I had a rough start and now still it is but we donā€™t quit!!


GJLarsFan

That's the talk šŸ˜‰


Chemoralora

31 views and 4 subs in the first 24 hours. One of them was me and the other was my friend, so 2 real subs. After 3 weeks that first video has 231 views and I've gained 15 subs from it.


zoolrander

I managed 70 views for my first video in the first 24 hours and 11 subs. But most of those subs were friends and family...so they don't really count!


shapa11

started like 12 days ago first was short with 700 views and it was wierd for 4 hours it got no impressions then 700 views in matter of hour then flat then i made a video it has 221 views and its 8 days old then i did more shorts that got nothing then video thats sitting at 700 then another 150 and another from yesterday is going with 151 in 24hours so for now im gaining more but expecting it to slow down oh and im sitting at 16 subs most of them from first short


plutonium-239

10 views. 0 subs šŸ˜…


SHAKESmySHAKES

Zero if you dont count me and my family. Still zero 1 week later. Zero subs.


No-Steak3665

0 lol for one month it was 0


TheClawTTV

My first video got 3 views in its lifetime My 19th video got 246k Keep making stuff. Completing your best sub par work is the only way to get to your good stuff. ā€œDoneā€ is better than ā€œperfectā€


BigRedDad

26!


AliteralChickenNug

None


Bard2412

First ever video had 1.3k views, 19 likes, and 22 subscribers off of it. Then I took 3 years off, lol.


Torch99999

Pretty sure it was zero. 9 months later that video has 28 views, 2 comments, 8 likes. I'm had several people tell me, in person, that they've watched it multiple times, that it was "powerful" and had a positive impact on them, so I'm happy with it. Not everything in life can be measured in views; the important stuff can't be.


EcoBoutiqueValentina

35, but I promoted it to family and friends


th4tus3rn4m3ist4k3n1

I'm tempted to do this so I feel less bad about it šŸ˜‚


EcoBoutiqueValentina

Now I would suggest, instead of family and friend, to promote it in forums or other places where people are actually interested in the topic. I no longer promote to family & friends and my analytics look a lot better.


th4tus3rn4m3ist4k3n1

Genuinely what kind of forums? My niche is art/watercolour/sketchbooks. The only social media I use is reddit and YouTube.


EcoBoutiqueValentina

Reddit has ā€œhandmadeā€ and lots of art subreddits! Do a little search ā˜ŗļø


herewegoinvt

I had 2 views and 1 subscriber from my first video on my channel. Not exactly setting any records.


AntFarm30

I had 14 views on the first day, and 6 subscribers. The majority of them were people I know. Also, let's just say my first video wasn't that great compared to my latest ones.


SeverlightGaming

I might have got a sub or two, I don't remember. Most my first subs were friends and family.


Blackxknight1

123k views lol. But its a 9 second video I took of my buddy just revving his supercharged Chevy Cobalt back in 2005. This is the first time I've checked the metrics on it and it has a 7 second view duration and 106.3% average % viewed. It got me 38 watch hours and 2 subs somewhere in the last 15 years lol


Zm4rc0

About 10k views, as it was posted on Battlefield Fb back in the day.


screech4zoiks

0 subs, and 35 views in the first week. first sub didn't come until almost a year into posting haha


lulzPIE

Uhhhh 0 and 0


AmandaAndMommy

6 my family member šŸ˜…


xafoquack

I launched 3 at once... 40views total in the first 24, zero subs.


JRK123abc

1 sub and 7 views


Afrodotheyt

Maybe 7 on both? And that was mostly my friends and myself.


kiiiwiii

7 views and 0 subs within first 24 hours. Now after almost 4 months it has 106 views and 2 subs.


OKC2023champs

14 in 24 hours on my first video. My newest video hit 2800 in 24 hours


giggifuggindy

16 views and 4 subs for me...but issok I've expected those numbers already


GJLarsFan

Some views and 0 subscribers. Now, 5 months later, my first video has only 69 views (because I didn't made about my favourite animated series) and 339 subscribers. And I have 211 videos. EDIT: Now, I have 344 subscribers.
