Worry more about what you are making, if you were watching a random video that you found browsing youtube would you watch YOUR OWN video and stay. If that answer is no, or you feel like clicking away, chances are that's exactly what any other person would do. Make good content FIRST, then worry about EVERYTHING later. Let's say you have that, then now it's just spreading that video around, you can do this in three ways really.
1) Have good SEO (Search Engine Optimization) YouTube's algorithm for putting your video in searches and recommended videos, etc. Basically promoting without sending a single link to anyone.
2) Be active on forums, share your links on social meda. This will not guarantee people click on the video or even check out your channel, but if will give more OPPORTUNITIES for people to do such things therefore increasing your chances for more views.
3) Last is the most intensive and, for the receiving end, annoying but it has probably the best return because you get so in people's faces. That is sharing your link with friends, family, coworkers, students, strangers, anyone. This is usually not organic though, you want organic, because people are not watching your videos because they like them they are watching them because you are suggesting it to them. Still an effective way to acquire views though.
Good luck coratison! Have fun.
