Step 5: Investing in the right equipment

To establish trust on YouTube, just as on other social media

platforms, you need high-quality material. This goes beyond

just coming up with concepts that your audience will adore.

Also, you should spend money on supplies and tools that will make it

easier for you to implement your ideas. The bare minimum will be a
DSLR or mirrorless camera and a respectable microphone, but if your

budget allows, you should also think about studio lighting and tripods.

You can find different suggestions HERE and HERE keeping in mind that

technology is always changing.

For basic edits, you'll also need basic video editing software. This will

enable you to remove pointless sequences and gaffes, lower background

noise, etc. If you're just getting started, try freeware apps like Windows

Movie Maker or Apple iMovie before you decide to spend money on

more sophisticated tools.
