I uploaded my first video yesterday and within 24 hours got a little over 400 views, 3 subs, 7 likes, 2 dislikes and 3 comments.

I dont have really any experience to know if I should feel happy about these results or not :S

How do you measure the success of a video you upload?
 
Obviously you're doing something correctly if you're getting views and subs. But one day is nowhere near enough data to determine anything. Keep doing what you're doing for a week or two, and track how those numbers are rising or decreasing.
 
But how do you measure the initial success of a video you upload PostivelyBrainwashed? Are their certain statistics you use or is it whatever happens happens?

Success is different for everyone. How do you define success? What are you goals? As for statistics, Youtube provides an analytics tool. For me I pay attention a lot to watch time retention per video, views, subs, and more importantly how often my videos are being searched for and appearing in suggested videos. I aim to create videos that will be searched forever or at least for a very long time. I'd rather make videos that get only initially 2k views but searched daily, than a video that gets 6k views but can't be searched. There's lots of strategies.
 
Once you have a higher inventory you can see which videos engage more. Some of our vids get a few hundred views in the first 12 hours, others maybe 2000 views. You can tell which topics subs and searchers engage with more than others. Make more videos on topics that get higher initial views.
 
My success is like a roller coaster. Sometimes I get more dislikes than likes which is stressful.
