Tips on how can I land an IB Internship with basically no Work Experience?

Hi, I know lots of you might hate this post, but I don't really know what I should be doing next. 

BA from a non target in South Italy

4 months Private banking Internship in a top 10 italian bank

As other experience I had a YT channel about financial news that did kinda well (2.2M Views, 20K subs, 60k reveue in 2 years)

(!) Should I put this in my Resume? 

Couple of useless IB certificates from coursera and that's it. 

Next year I'm going to ESSEC MiF (They have a Jan-June 2024 internship in the study plan)

Just looking at all of the others that will attend ESSEC MiF, they got 3/4 internships (or years of work experience) in good places and are already applying for the Jan-June offcycles and Summer Analysts. 

All internships in Paris require french and I don't know french, only english (very well I would say) and italian. 

(!) Would a job in Milan still be good for my Resume? (I don't want to work in Italy at all in the future ) 

I'm not looking for a full guide on how to, I'm more looking for tips & tricks on what to do from here. 

(appart from trying to learn french, I'll try to do that asap)
