As it happens I joined 4 weeks ago and I sort of have the same problem. What I have found out is if you are active on the chatbox and if you are nice to people, they will be more inclined to have a look at your profile, from there you can make friends with other, more established members of the YT community. However, in order to get good attention, you need to make videos that are good, and likeable, in order for people to subscribe and befriend you. While I have not reached this next stage yet personally, this is the kicker: People browsing YT will find your channel and see one of your videos, then word of mouth will ensure you get quite alot of fans, depending of course on how good your videos are.
Also, down below here as my signature, as well as something random, there is a link to my own YT channel, making it easy for other people browsing here to find. It would be wise for you to do the same! Check out my channel and I can find and befriend you to get you started!
