Becoming a YouTube creator and making money usually takes time, not just uploading a few videos and then waiting for the income to come in. The first step that I think is the most important is to determine a clear topic and create content that is truly useful or entertaining. Don't be too obsessed with the number of subscribers at the start of the journey. Focus on understanding who wants to watch, what problems it can help with, and why people want to come back for future videos. Consistency is also important because a channel needs time to find its audience.
Once a channel grows and meets applicable monetization program requirements, creators can earn revenue from available YouTube monetization features. But revenue doesn't have to come solely from advertising. Creators can also develop sponsorships, affiliate marketing, memberships, digital products, merchandise or services that are relevant to their audience. The important thing is, don't buy subscribers or use manipulative methods just to look big because these numbers don't automatically produce a truly interested audience. A healthy channel is usually built from a combination of consistent content, a trusting audience, and a suitable monetization model. Starting from the abilities you have, continue learning to read data, then improve the quality little by little.
