- I'm gonna share with you five things
that every YouTuber should buy as soon
as you can, and we're startin' right now.
(rap music)
What is goin' on?
My name is Nick.
Welcome to another video.
If this is your first time here
and you wanna learn how to grow
your channel, make videos, and
all types of other YouTube related stuff,
start now by subscribing and clicking
the bell so you don't miss anything.
And this is my list.
Let me know what you think all
YouTubers need to get down in the comments below.
Okay first, I have to put out this disclaimer.
Everything that I'm getting ready
to say right now, this is not stuff that
is required to make YouTube videos.
These are my recommendations for as
your channel grows, as you do more here on YouTube,
things that you need to start picking up.
For the sake of making everything better,
getting everything, ya know, tightening everything up a bit.
Number one, and for me, this is the most
important one on the list, a decent microphone.
Look, if your audio sucks people are not
gonna take your content as seriously
as they would if you had decent audio.
I've personally went through a nice
handful of microphones, ya know, trying to
make sure that no matter what it is that
I'm doing that my audio is dialed in,
and that also includes this one up here.
Again, this is not something that
you have to have in order to get
started, but as things improve,
upgrading your microphone can
make a huge difference in how
other people perceive your content.
Number two is a decent computer.
And the reason that a decent computer
is so important is because if you're
currently editing on your phone then
there's a lot of things that you can do
with the software that's available on a computer
that you just can't do on a phone.
In addition to that, there's actual
processing time, and making everything
look as professional as possible.
If you have a computer that's extremely
slow then it's gonna take you a lot
longer to actually process your
video once it's finished, you're gonna
have all these hangups here and there,
you might even be crashing all of the time.
And all of that makes for a humongous
clog in your workflow and can cause
a lot of stress because you're
trying to get videos done and things like that.
So because of that, it's important that
when you can that you upgrade your computer.
I recommend at least 16 gigabytes of RAM.
In addition to that I also recommend
getting a graphics card that is as good
as your budget can possibly afford, so that
you can keep everything running smooth and fast.
Faster computers give you more
creative outlets because you can add
more filters and things like that if you want to,
you can add just cooler stuff in general,
and it speeds up your processing time,
which is extremely important for
getting as much content done as fast as possible.
Number three is a decent tripod with a fluid head.
Basically what a fluid head is,
is it allows you to basically take it
and you can actually move it around like this,
to where it's a really fluid experience, right?
For the people that are watching your videos.
Now this is awesome for doing B-roll and things like that,
and in addition to that you're a video creator,
so it's important that you have these types of things
so that you can be open creatively.
Number four is a decent pair of editing headphones.
Now, a decent pair of editing headphones
is important because basically,
when you're wearing headphones
and you're editing your videos,
you're gonna hear a lot of stuff that
you cannot hear from your computer speakers.
And hearing all of that stuff,
one, it lets you know how people
who are wearing headphones are
hearing your content, and two,
it also helps you make a better
end product because you can hear
all of the details, all the nuances
of what's going on in your videos.
Number five, and I've got a bonus
one coming up here in a second.
But number five is a better camera.
Now the reason I have that one
at number five is because all of
the other things that I've mentioned
in this list so far, all of those things
can help you improve your content with what
you already have just making minor
tweaks here and there along the way.
But a camera is usually a big purchase.
So is a computer, but a camera is usually
a big purchase because you got the lenses,
you have the actual camera body and
things like that, and it can cost a lot.
But here's the thing, unless you are
making cinematic type stuff, or
unless you're making, you know,
high-end content, you just need
a camera that's good enough, that has
all the manual settings that lets
you dial everything in so that you
can get everything looking exactly
how you want, instead of using
automatic features and things like that.
That's the reason that you wanna
upgrade your camera quality, and
you wanna upgrade your optics as well
to make sure that everything looks
as good as you possibly can so that
you can create that visual advantage.
And you wanna create that visual advantage,
that visual authority, right?
Of course you do.
Number six, is TubeBuddy, which this one
actually should be at the very front of the list,
but if you don't have TubeBuddy installed yet
it's going to help you with your channel,
with your keyword research and all of that stuff.
I have a link to it down in the description
below so you can go and check that out,
as well as everything that I've
talked about in this video so far.
If you wanna learn how to grow
your channel, make videos, and
all types of other YouTube related stuff,
start now by hitting the round
subscribe icon so you don't miss anything.
Thank you so much for watching.
I'll see you next time.
