I started uploading long form content a few weeks ago - first 7 videos got 0 impressions.

I actually drafted up a "Does my channel suck" post for reddit lol

I had 10 subs on sunday and published a video that has done very well.

Don't listen to that voice in the back of your head questioning what you're doing, just keep going.

Make good content - you will be rewarded.

That is my ted talk I don't post on reddit lol but I am proud of this.

Is it normal for a brand-new YouTube channel to get basically zero impressions?

I started a new channel about six days ago and have uploaded a few videos, but YouTube does not seem to be showing them to anyone yet.

I’m assuming this is normal while YouTube figures out what the channel is about, what niche the videos fit into, and who might be interested in them. I know it’s still extremely early and I’m not expecting a lot of views, but I thought YouTube would at least test the videos with a few hundred people.

Could it also have something to do with channel trust? Since creating the channel, I’ve been using it normally by watching videos, commenting, liking, and subscribing.

I’m going to keep uploading either way, but I’d be interested to hear whether anyone else had a similar experience when starting a new channel. I mainly just want to make sure this is fairly common.

I am posting long form content.
