Here are some random ideas that I have brainstormed:
- You could give music lessons. "How to play [instrument name]" or how to play a particular style of music.
- You could discuss how to choose a particular type of instrument.
- You could give technical advice on how to record music for Youtube (what equipment and software do you need and how to set it up)
- You could discuss copyright issues for musicians.
- You could discuss forming a band with other musicians.
To sum up - Think about when you started out as a musician. What were all the questions and problems you had? Check out forums for musicians and go to the noobie section - What questions are they asking? Make videos to answer them.

I would suggest showcasing your voice by doing some covers. This could potentially give you some enough subscribers when the album is ready to release.
Ensure that at the end of each video you upload that the album is mentioned. If you get plenty of views on videos before the album is released it can gain enough traction to make it a instant success. As a YouTuber I find it is best to use your own videos as a way of free advertising for up and coming projects.
If you decide to do cover songs then I would suggest steering clear of the songs that already have thousands of covers. The competition can be overwhelming and placing high in rankings can be very difficult. Instead look for songs that are just releasing that have not reached the heights that most have.
As an example a recent film release on Netflix "Eurovision: A Fire Saga Story" had a very good song that ended the film called "Husavik". It is a song that is easy to cover and for the first couple of weeks after the movie released it was still relatively unknown. Small YouTubers with next to no views and subscribers saw their stats go up by the thousands when the song gained more popularity.
Hope this helps
