I can recommend on starting a channel, and makes videos you want make yourself! People will see through the fact that you makes videos just for the views and money, and not for you as a person!
I make videos that I want to do, and I enjoy making them!

The only true advice I can give at this very moment for you (and your team) is to make a channel that you are passionate about. It won't be for the money, the views, the subscribers, etc. But instead the channel should for you and only you. If you love doing it each and every week then it won't become a chore to keep on creating videos and content for the entertainment of many. If you do not do it for yourself then it'll simply be a waste of time.
Some ideas I can give for a channel can fall under hundreds of many but I'll simply list a few:
1. Gaming
2. Vlogs
3. Make Up
4. Traveling (which can also fall under Vlogs)
5. Filming/Photography/Modeling
6. Movie Reviews
7. Facts & Stories
8. News (Stay away from this one I'd recommend)
But the list can go on. So just pick something you'd want to do and go do it. =] And we will be here to help as much as we can. Good luck!

I agree with everyone above saying to do it about whatever you personally like. You have to really have a passion for what you'll be talking about or you won't last on YouTube.
I want to add too that you should try and niche it down to focus on a select group of people. With my previous channel I made it way too generic (It was a generic tech channel) so as a result it was growing, but that growth was very stagnant. I'd recommend getting as specific as you can with your channel, for example instead of making a car channel (totally random example), you could make a car channel focusing on budget cars, or to go even more niche you could do a channel about creative ways of upgrading budget cars (as opposed to ones about their history or VS videos between them and more expensive cars and other videos). By doing this when people who fit into that specific niche find your video they'll be more likely to subscribe as they feel it's perfect for them, as opposed to no one feeling like they'd fit in with your channel if you do a really generic one.
Also try not to be discouraged by the low numbers you'll be getting at first, I started my new channel around a month ago and am getting very low numbers on it as compared to my previous channel. If you're determined enough, and enjoy what you're making enough, you'll eventually start to see growth (I even have to keep telling myself that now too, it is really hard when you're just starting a new channel). This is again why it is so important to love what you're doing, it should be your passion for whatever you're talking about that keeps you making videos, not the numbers or the potential funds.
I'd also recommend subscribing to Tim Schmoyer (Video Creators), Derral Eves, Video Influencers and Roberto Blake on YouTube. They are really great people to get tips from when it comes to anything YouTube.

A good plan would be to think about what things either interest you, or something your good that you could share with others? Perhaps you have an exciting hobby? No good making one amazing video and then not knowing what to do next. But if you can make content from things you do anyway in your job, study, social life, interests etc that might be easier as you will always have something to film. Some people for example just record themselves on road trips, or, Amazingly play video games which seems to attract lots of people that watch for reasons that are completely lost to me lol Doesn't matter what you do if it a) works, or b) you get enjoyment from making the content.
