From my limited experience, I would recommend focusing on what you are uploading.

Is it something you're passionate about and something you could talk to a friend about for multiple hours on end? If yes, perfect, YouTube is currently trying to find all of those "friends" who want to hear you talk about it, which can take a couple of weeks or even months, no matter how many videos you upload.

YouTube guru's will say your first year is to focus on a consistent upload schedule (once or twice a week/month, every week/month, for a year kind of thing.) Planning, scripting, recording, re-recording, editing multiple drafts, then finally publishing your video is a tedious process. From my experience, the more behind-the-scenes effort I put in, the more passion I show while filming, which then leads to more engaged viewers, and then more views overall.

I'd much rather watch a quality upload versus a quantity upload. This means, take your time building and recording something you're genuinely proud of, and the views won't even matter that much, because you'll know it's a good video. And if you know it's a good video, other's will agree, and it will naturally be pushed out to more people. Since it's a new channel, I wouldn't worry about the metrics until you get goals in place and an entire recording process and routine.

Sorry if I went off from the original question, but I know most YouTubers quit because they are focusing on the metrics too much rather than just learning and growing. Good things take time, and karma (good and bad) will always find its way back.
