Brand new channel, only seven impressions...I feel like I'm doing something wrong
Pretty much a complete noob/lurker, here. I just uploaded my "first" video: niche topic (intelligence analysis / targeting).
Here are my stats after about 24 hours:
- 13 views
- 7 impressions
- 14% CTR (probably meaningless, I know :-) )
- 0 subscribers
I guess my question is really about those 7 impressions. Does YouTube not show new channels to anyone until there's some baseline of watch time? ...especially rehashed channels?
I ask this because I tried starting a channel before and uploaded three (unrelated to this) videos that went absolutely nowhere. I deleted them before uploading this one. I now feel that this was a mistake. Should I have started a completely fresh channel instead?
I'm not asking how to go viral and I'm not expecting a ton of views. I just want to understand whether there's something structural happening here or whether I just need to be patient and keep uploading.
Any and all insight is appreciated.
