The best way is to stay consistant, look at relevant games and topics and elaborate off that. create a new type of fun challenge in fortnite or minecraft, just try your best to get a audience which like your content and are a constant viewers of your channel, if they find you funny or want to show there friends something they will say your channel name or your channel link. Then if they find you funny they will share it with there friends, it goes on and on and on. But it can take a month or a year to get 1k subs. The key is patience and ideas. Thats how nearly every youtuber who has over 1mil started.

Upload on a regular schedule, at least 3 times a week and preferably once a day. Regularity is the most important one, since it means that if people sub to you they're more likely to watch regularly, which increases the number of views and therefore the chance that your videos end up in someone's recommended feed.
If I lead a busy life and only have about 1 hour per day to watch YouTube videos, I'd be able to plan your videos into it, assuming I'd want to watch. If it was irregular it would just be opportunistic viewing.
Also, video length is important. For highlight reels/highly edited videos, I'd advise aiming for the 10-minute mark. For let's plays or minimally edited videos I'd aim at the 20 min to half an hour mark, or AT LEAST 15 minutes.
If you're gonna do tutorials or informational videos, I'd aim at 10-15 minutes unless it's a simple trick, in which case you should keep it to 5 minutes.
These dont have to be exactly to the second or even the minute, but its a good guideline. As long as the amount roughly stays the same for months at a time.
In terms of time management, I'd recommend doing "recording sessions". You could theoretically stream those if you wanted to, depending on if your recording software of choice can stream as well. What you'd do here is record for a few hours, then split the footage of those hours into either episodes or a highlight reel.
Again, it depends on your recording software, but I'd recommend to record for 2 hours for every episode per week you want to do.
So if you're going for 3 videos per week, you record for 6 hours total. This can be either on a single afternoon, though that may be very tiring, or in 2-hour sessions.
If it's a let's play, you'd be able to stock up footage quite quickly this way, since you'd be recording twice as much as you'd publish per week, which would give you a lot of buffer footage-wise, making it easier to keep uploading regularly if, say, you have a busy week (school, job, whatever), especially if you use video scheduling, which I highly recommend. If it's a highlight reel, 2 hours should definitely be enough to get 10 minutes of funny or epic highlights.
If you upload at 5PM GMT (or whatever 5PM is in the timezone of your largest amount of viewers) on, say, Monday, Wednesday and Friday EVERY TIME WITHOUT FAIL, you'll grow a lot faster than if you upload 3 times randomly throughout the week. It doesn't matter how long it takes you to record or edit a video or when you get it done, as long as you can manage 3 per week and schedule their publishing.
WHAT you upload is up to you, as long as it's on a regular schedule, so I recommend trying
The reason I'm going into so much detail is that this is what I planned to do for my own channel, but I'm unable to act on it due to my current living situation being.... Poorly insulated in the sound department. If I have a normal-volume conversation via mic, all my housemates at that time get to listen in, and when recording or streaming I get a good bit louder than that, so I'm not gonna risk it until ALL of my housemates (and preferably my neighbors) have jobs or other things taking them out of the house on the regular.

Thanks, the only issue with regularly is, the PC at my dads can't handle recording. So, I can only do it at my moms, and I am only at my moms 50% of the time. So, What if I did like, a video on Monday, and pre-record a video for Wednesday, and Friday? And, sometimes bonus videos on weekends etc?
I would rather record minecraft. I am the Manager of CloudedMC. However, it is not a HUGE server. So, what if I did like, tips and tricks, and tutorials on there. And, then maybe hypixel? I have been playing a lot of bedwards lately. Idk what people want to see, that is the only issue.
That's basically what I recommended with time managment. If you're only at your mom's 50% of the time, use that 50% to record and edit all the footage you need, then upload and schedule them.
Bonus videos are definitely an option, but that's up to you. As long as they dont compromise your regular uploads. Perhaps it's an extra episode every time you have more than a week or 2 in buffer videos?

Yea, perhaps. I mean, it will really just depend.
