You don't want to go too fast and overwhelm your viewers or spend your budget building your channel.  Start simple. Only upload short clips of you speaking and doing your daily tasks. Don't worry about the quality of the video. You can always improve the quality later.  Start slowly.  Put away any money you have for equipment or supplies that you'll need to record or improve your videos. The plan is to make lots of videos and slowly get better at it.  YouTube's videos are often viewed multiple times, so don't worry about the people who don't watch them. Focus on your audience.
