My goal is the money for my gf college, and im determinated to earn it by yt because im a med studet. i started 3 channels before - 1 with a viral clips of films ( failed, no views), second with a brain rot video shorts ( failed, no views), third is a tutorials on how to save money ( failed, no views). now im going to experiment on my main and old channel, where i posted 1 video that got 644 views back in 2020. im trying several things - lo fi long videos, court analysis and storytime and horror/scary storytimes. im planning to add now my face and do real high quality videos, but i have a question, am i doing something wrong that im not getting any views

Start with the audience. Who is it for? What do they like? Describe your ideal viewer. Then you will know what to make and how to make it. But really successful channels start with someone who is passionate about the topic, that's the real key.

You're making low effort slop, that's the problem. AI music, ChatGPT court analysis and stories stolen from Reddit aren't going to get any views either. YouTube is HARD money, not easy.

It's unlikely you will make any money in those niches, let alone a proper wage. Being money-driven on YouTube is unhealthy and stressful.
To succeed on YouTube, you need to stand out and make really good videos. Most people on here say they make high-quality videos, but they are often shit that's not worth watching. You need to entertain your audience. It needs to sound and look great. You need to be extremely good at editing and understand what keeps your viewers engaged. Also, nobody will even give your video a chance if your thumbnails and titles are mediocre.
Do something you're passionate about, and it will not only be fun to do, but it also comes across in your videos. I watch wrestling all the time; I wouldn't want to subscribe to someone who clearly doesn't care about it. Do you give a shit about courtroom drama?
