I have a YouTube account that is not currently active.
Reasons why it's not currently active:
Can't find a good cheap mic
Can't find a good cheap screen recorder that records Minecraft sound (Mac)
I have no idea what to post.

If you are planning on doing any sort of recording that involves commentary then a cheap mic is something you dont want to have, youll need to buy a good quality mic and headset for your system to get good sound for you clips.
There are tons of video capture software out there and some are free others are not, youll just have to find where you want your budget to be at and go form there. I personally use fraps. check out my channel to see the quality https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf0nkGjHfzUnz4ylWU9gZ_A
Post what you enjoy doing is the best tip i can get you and the different content will happen over time.
If you want to have good quality content then you will need to put in a little cash. Not everything is cheap. I personally use a Blue Yeti mic and Bandicam recording software. I have had no problems with either of them.
Can you check out my channel and recommend anything?
Do what you enjoy! If you like building, do building tutorials! If you like online things like Hunger Games or Spleef, than do that! I'd start out with tutorials or mini games before a singleplayer survival lets play. Get a good standing of subs before putting in all of that effort just to get 0 views. But just simply do whatever you enjoy!
Gonna help you out, laddie! I'm going to restate what most people said above!
Good Mic, Cheap Price: Logitech ALWAYS will provide a mic for a cheap price, but usually they lack in quality (I went from Logitech Mic to Logitech Headset to Blue Yeti). From my opinion, the MIC SUCKED and I grabbed onto the Headset expecting something better. It did improve, but it was constantly in my way and bulky. A headset is MUCH better. However, for PRICE AND QUALITY. Look no further: The Blue Yeti w/ Pop Filter and Shock Mount. THIS costs $115 from what I saw, and it picks up your voice, and YOUR voice ONLY. I would buy this if you're looking for the long-run on Youtube. If not, a GOOD logitech headset will work.
Good Screen Recorder, Mac: I... *gasp* am a fellow Mac user. I use Screenflow. It's decent, however, it's not worth $100+ (Reason why I'm buying an Ironside). A GREAT quality, Mac recorder is Screenflick. It's VERY cheap. $19. If you do it free, it will come with a lovely watermark that contaminates it. I would invest in this.
What Can You Talk About: Anything. Me, I'm a Natural Commentator. I have the voice, style, and the skill to last for an entire video and commentate. You can talk about the game, your life, what's going on in school, sports, games, or anything really. If you can't really do that, you can practice by talking to yourself in the shower. Honestly, no matter how weird it seems. It works. Just be yourself though.
In-Game Sound: There are programs for this. Type in "Computer Audio Recorder for Mac".

Hmm. A Lets Play, an SMP, or maybe a Mini-Games/Survival Games. A proper Lets Play would take around 30 episodes or more. An SMP now, is tricky, use the following guidelines to find the one that suits you.
Can I grow?: Ask yourself this, if there are 100 members on an SMP. Don't do it. You won't grow much. Now 20-30 players, you will get attention. 20 or less is the best way to go.
Will I enjoy it?: If you don't enjoy it, then you will soon leave after a while. Try and find an SMP that will have consistent content.
Active Community: A strong active community will be consistent, always helping, always there. Making videos. A weak one, is always fighting, always inconsistent and churlish. Do your research and join a strong one.
It's up to you. The things that are growing "BIG-TIME" right now, are: Pixelmon, SMP's, UHC's, Builds, and Speed Games. Try one and see what you like, if you need any more questions, PM me and I can give more help.

What would be a good first video? I really don't know.. I'm so lost as to what to post.
