There is a lot of competition out there, so it's not hard to see why the going might be slow at the moment. I'd start with big ideas and use a venn diagram, which is just two circles that share a third space between them. In one circle, put all of your interests and hobbies. In the other circle, write some topics that are popular and getting lots of attention right now. Try to look for topics that are shared between the two circles. You'll want to create videos that are related to those topics. If possible, I would start early and look for tips on video editing. If you are looking to do well on Youtube long-term, video editing will be one of the most important skills you can pick up.
Also, since you are looking to get started early enough, I would recommend trying to start multiple different channels that each have a unique and different flavor/identity and see which ones pick up steam. If you have channels that are not succeeding, I would recommend deleting the ones that are dying off and starting off new experiments to take their place. It's hard to know which videos will succeed until you try. You'll want to read all of the comments and respond to comments on your videos. Anything you can do to increase engagement on your videos will be important. Plus, Youtube will be more likely to recommend your videos to other people as you increase comments on your videos. Also, finding other Youtubers who are willing to point people to your videos will be important and they will likely want you to do the same for them in return.
If you do end up getting a successful following on Youtube, you will want to find a messaging service such as Discord where you can have a group chat going on with people who have connected with your videos. The most important key to building a Youtube channel is building a community of viewers that are excited about your content. Only then will you be able to get a following of people invested enough in your videos to financially contribute, which would likely occur through Patreon.

Hi Julian,
Becoming a successful YouTuber is not impossible, but it will take a lot of hardwork and dedication from you. First, I would suggest finding out exactly what you want your content to be then watching other youtubers in your area of interests to see what they do that is successful and what you could do better. Next, the big thing now is you have to be posting content consistently, at least once a day if not more. You also have to be posting content across different forms of social media; twitter, instagram, tiktok. If you produce quality content that you are happy with the viewers will come just continue the hardwork and commitment to your goal.

Hi Julian,
Here are some times I suggest and have seen others be successful with:
1) Offer a consistent stream of content, do not go weeks without posting, and try to post at least 1x if not more a week
2) Use lots of hashtags for the video descriptions so that your videos are more likely to come up when people search for videos
3)Have a catchy thumbnail - the photo you see when you are about to click on a video
4)Have a catchy Youtube Channel name and spread the word about it. Have your friends, family, and anyone you know visit your channel so that it gets more views and subscribers
5) Make sure the audio quality is good and editing is smooth and modern. If you haven't already I would invest in some editing software and take some class on how to use it

HI Julian,
In order for you to be a successful youtuber the first thing you need to know is that the number of views that you get for your videos decides your success
and to get the high number of views you need some great content
and to get the content you need to do some good research and planning
also here are a few tips that can help
1). Share something that people are genuinely interested in and if your video is good enough people will love to share it.
2). Keep the videos short and up to point
3). Make them engaging and creative
