How to start with creating videos for YouTube

As I wrote in my last post , I intend to start a career as a video blogger on YouTube.
 To make this happen, I gather the necessary information to help me start making nad publishing movies.


I completely do not know technical matters, I can only operate a smartphone and record simple videos and edit them using app on the phone, but from what I learned, it is better to create video and record sound separately.
 

I found a site called Taplic that might be helpful. This is a store with video and audio equipment especially for youtubers, in which specialists describe 

what should be done for your channel to be successful. 

The guide for YouTube beginners is here

 

From the content of this page I learned that it is important to ensure sound quality, that it is better to have a weak camera and a good microphone and good quality sound, otherwise people will not want to watch you. Of course, on this page they also say that you need to have good quality content, but I'm not worried about that. 

I have a lot of ideas that I will definitely implement. So I wonder where to start. Should I buy a microphone that will connect to the computer and use my smartphone as a camera, or invest some money and buy also more professional camera? 

The choice is difficult, because I do not have great funds, and I read on this page that constant lighting is also  needed. For example, such lamp like , thanks to which the image quality will be better, so I am looking for an idea where to start and I rely on this article, which is very interesting. I heartily recommend to everyone! You can find it at this address.

Another problem I face is choosing a computer. 

My computer - laptop doesn't have any video editing program. I mean, I know that you have to edit a recorded movie somehow. Cut some scenes into pieces and add other effects. 

I don't know exactly how to do it. On this page there is information that soon there will also be a guide on choosing software for such tasks. That is why I am looking forward to the next publications.

I wonder if he can make purchases in this store, because the store is specially designed for beginners, video bloggers who create video on YouTube. It seems to me that this store is created by people who know how to make movies. 

That is to say, there is professionalism and experience, but it is conveyed in simple language, which greatly facilitates the understanding of the subject. I am not experienced, that's why I need this support very much, which can be found there.

I also watched a lot of YouTube videos about what is needed, what accessories, for example: a camera tripod will be useful, handles, but I'm not entirely sure what is the most important. 

It is known that everyone has limited money and you can't buy everything right away. For this reason, I will buy things one by one and as I wrote earlier, I will probably invest in a microphone and postpone the camera for later. It seems to me that the microphone is the basic thing. Secondly, I'll use something for lighting. 

My lamps will not be enough for sure. I will also have to pay attention to computer and software searches. I have to put together these films and make the lead. 

I will definitely want to find a song to start with, but these are copyright issues and you may have to buy them somewhere. I haven't checked it yet. So I have many different topics on my mind. If I learn more or I can buy a microphone.

I will write  to you again. Best wishes
