What you really need to YouTube

It’s way too easy to spend a bundle outfitting your new channel with the latest and greatest in video technology. But especially when starting out, you don’t need enough gear to shoot a movie. Here are our budget and slightly higher end recommendations for YouTube equipment.

Tripod

Budget: AmazonBasics 50-Inch Lightweight Tripod, UBeesize Tripod S

Better: JOBY GorillaPod, Vanguard Alta Pro

Video Camera

Budget: The phone you already have + a phone adapter for your tripod ($1 if you get a dollar store selfie stick and unscrew it).

Better: Canon G7X / Canon EOS Rebel T6 / Nikon D3400

Lighting

Budget: Natural light or any bright area of your home, apartment or office.

Better: LimoStudio Umbrella Continuous Lighting Kit

Microphone

Budget: Phone or camera Microphone, Boya BY-M1 Omnidirectional Lavalier Mic

Better: Rode Video Mic or Rode Video Mic Pro

Software:

Basic: iMovie or Windows Movie Maker

Better: Adobe Premiere Pro CC / Final Cut Pro/

How much to charge for partnerships

Want to know how much a dedicated video or post on your platform is worth? As much as you can sell it for…. But if you’re a chronic sell-yourself-shorter, websites like https://socialbluebook.com will give you a range to go off of. Psst. it’s more than you think. Remember, if you’re making a dedicated video for a product, you’re doing 100% of the work, photography, script, editing, location, etc. You’re delivering a personalized ad and should be compensated as such.

Find sources of alternate YouTube income

There are plenty of ways to make money before AdSense kicks in. Here are a few places that you can search for video-based gigs/

  • Revfluence
  • Upfluence.
  • NeoReach.
  • Mavcrk.
  • Traackr.
  • Speakr.
  • Famebit.
  • Webfluential.

Free Music Resources

YouTube Audio Library

  • YouTube Audio Library is the easiest resource to use, because it’s free and built right into YouTube. You can search by music length, type, mood and more and much of it is available to just download and use with no credit necessary.

NoCopyrightSounds

    This channel uploads music that is free to download and use as long as you credit the channel and artist in your video description.
