So what do you do with a zero?
Dirty base: it won’t recover. Clean base: maybe on video 3, 5 or 10. Maybe.
The faster route is a channel whose first video already got recommendation impressions. That’s what we test and sell at IMPRESSIQ. Link in bio.
And even with a clean setup, it’s partly chance.
We test channels on an identical setup every time. Out of 100, roughly 30–40 get recommendation impressions on their first video. The rest get zero.
0 impressions on your first video. What’s wrong? 🧵
Zero means YouTube didn’t show your video to a single person. Not low reach, no distribution at all.
Here’s why it happens, and why it’s often not your fault.
