Should I grow my initial following before I start a Patreon page, or after?

I believe I have an interesting story to tell and great content that I can provide to the masses. But I'm wondering if I need to start by telling the story on YouTube or TikTok and bring it over to Patreon? Or should I start from scratch on Patreon and just promote it around?   Help needed!!...

What is the best way to learn how to become a YouTuber and make money?

I have read that many people make money using their videos on YouTube to grow a following and get paid to sell products, do ads, etc.   Where can I learn more about this and be successful at it?...
