How does a yt beginner have 40k views?

In order for advertizing to work you need a good product. 99% of the new you-tubers that reach for advertizing to get their numbers up don't have a good product. They operate on the delusional notion that they are going to gain thousands of views and subscribers by spending money.

That's not necessarily true...really good marketing can pretty much sell anything. It's not really delusional at all. If you have the right marketing, you can indeed gain thousands of views by spending money. The problem lies in the fact that most people don't really know how to strategically market their channel/product, and that's why it might not work.

I used both Facebook Ads, & YT Ads & only spent $20. Really helps. They work around your budget which is great. You can start off with a budget of $5/day. After you get over 3,000, you start getting 50+views per day on your own. YT+Facbook Ads are the best.

Hope this helps :D
 
IDK.... the only explanation that doesn't involve cheating would be that the first video is just THAT good or some kind of runaway hit.... or maybe it's a new channel spinning off from a popular one and the fanbase followed him/her there.

Yup, a clickbait campaign will get you views. But returning viewers? (aka subscribers?) nope. Hell, you'll probably end up with a bunch of dislikes for false advertising. Again: You can't market something no one wants. EpicMealTime? Marketable. TheDutchTexan? Absolutely not. Maybe in around 91K subscribers. And even then I won't waste my money to inflate my "product".

My advice: Keep your money in your pocket until you grow naturally. If you don't grow at all that is the #1 indicator no one wants your stuff. It's a harsh reality, but the truth. That is why you start YouTube because you love creating content. If you love what you do the numbers take a back seat. If you start it for a measure of personal worth you might as well quit.
 
My friend's house was broken into and he posted the video on YouTube a couple of weeks ago and it has over two million views now. With the right video and right amount of luck any YouTuber, even new ones, can get a lot of views in a relatively short amount of time.
 
new channels that are branches of bigger channels get a big viewerbase from the get go :), or channels that have closed and reopened can too.
 
Probably bots, or just REALLY good advertising. Maybe someone popular linked to it and their fanbase is the majority of the audience
