What do i need for starting a youtube channel?

[Maistroo]

Today i haven't that kind of money to spend, i have a Iphone 8 Plus with 12 Megapixel and can record in 4k 30 and 60 ffs i think... Can i use my phone until i have money to spend?

I want to educate people about fitness, do you guys have any suggestions on how i can make videos?
I think about only speak about fitness or buy a whiteboard and stay in front of it and write/skiss and tell the audience about that i am talking about..


I want to learn more and get some tips of you guys please help out, and be kind!

P.S. I want to make money in long term, i know that nothing happens over night.

Thanks

I suppose you could start out with an iPhone.

Its generally recommended to have a quality camera, quality microphone, and quality video editing software.

If you want to be a vlogger and talk about fitness related topics then I'd definitely recommend a quality microphone before a camera. You could probably get by with the iPhone camera for a while, but don't expect to make enough money being a Youtuber while using the iPhone to cover the cost of a quality camera, at least not for the first couple of years.

Being successful at youtube takes time. Do you have the time and dedication to put into it? Talking YEARS of working for only pennies and dollars?

IMO Objective is still vague.
Are you going to monetize through YT adsense or are you planning to promote a health product?
In either case, it's going to take a long time to do so.
You'll still need traffic and target the appropriate audience for that niche. Employ SMO maybe..
There are few options when it comes to building YT channel.
Use that whiteboard you mentioned, Define your goal. Break it down to milestones, Assign tasks to reach every milestone and divide them into easy and difficult parts.
See where you stand and then proceed forward.
Good Luck!

So i can start out with a my phone from begining? I have time beside my collage, and this i something i want to go all in for.
I will only give out information to people, like educate them.

but the only 2 things i will nervous for is
1. what my "haters" will say? I live in a small town and people speak to much if you know what i mean...
2. should i start a business or do i need to sign up with someone who will take care of taxes and so on? (of course it will take time before i get there but i want to know)

I agree with Stencil. You need a clear defined path and a way to generate views if you are doing adsense. There are people on here who can send traffic to your video that may help but I would test out a few things. Obviously being minimalistic you need to carefully track the amount spent to amount made and via what marketing technique.

list down those objectives of having a channel after that try executing one by one and slowly upload and spread your videos. Just be yourself, iphone is enough to record anything you want to do.

 

[RobertTheShark]

Your iphone is fine for recording.

If you want to make money in the long term, sell fitness plans. I know that people in this niche made a fortune by selling these.

iphone 8 camcorder is beautiful

 

[RankBoss]

1.Iphone camera is enough
2.buy a high quality voice recorder.
3.good video editor
4.Audacity for noise cancellation.
5.video background.

Main thing is the way of presentation

 

[awesomewebsites]

There are many popular channels that started with mobile phone recording only. You can always upgrade later.

A few tips for a mindset:

1. Haters. That works anywhere in life. If someone criticize you and don't give a solution to make your situation better, or refuses to constructively help you in any way, you ignore these guys.
And if someone criticize you and gives a solution to a problem, you listen to these guys. That helps you grow up and it's a free feedback

2. Taxes on potential income and such. Best advice given by the self made guys out there, and majority agrees on that - don't think too many steps forward. Deal with what you can deal with right now,
and minimize your schedule so you can focus on tier 1 priorities like making content right now and starting the proper social channels for your public figure personality. The rest comes in the future, automatically.


Achieving goals is like following the light in the darkness. You see the light very far away, that's your end-game goal. You think about it, you want it, but you still have to travel through bushes, traps and walls in the darkness.
You cannot predict the walls in the dark, until you go straight into them. Only then you deal with them. So there is no need to think about the problems when they're not there right now.

I wish you'll make a great coach and inspire more people towards your passion!

Simply start, ignore haters and try to make your videos as best as you can at the given time, even if they suck try make it better the next time. The best thing is if you go all in and get till some decent place over the years is to DM those haters and ask "What now?". Best is to have these first videos so you can make fun of yourself when you look back and say this was me at the beginning. Go look at any popular YT channel out there and sort videos by their date and check how they did their first videos much much worse than they are doing now. You can not become the best in your field without starting at and taking action. If you are still not certain enough type into the search section of the forum "JumpCut academy " and some post with [GET] should popup go there and get that course and learn.

Best is to start because you are thinking over the cost of doing which is not pro-active when you think about it. If you don't have good camera never mind start. You can even get some whiteboard software for PC and draw with your PC mouse etc. For professional software if you don't have the money do what you have to do to get it for free as for the beginning what maters is to start.

Don't base yourself just on the youtube but rather try to experiment a bit with different social media platforms as well as you are tying to gather the audience.

Maybe the good idea is to start your IM journey to motivate yourself and show others what you are currently doing and document what you do in the simple way.

Good luck, wish you all the best

I will do my best, i need to find a place at home too. What do you think to have my computer behind me when i talk and have some picture on my computers desktop who represent that i will talk about.

If you want to make money in the long term, sell fitness plans. I know that people in this niche made a fortune by selling these.

I plan to sell fitness, fat loss and food plans to people later on, i study sport science in collage and from 15th of April i start an instagram account to educate people. today i am nearly to 300 followers, when i start with YT i will tell my followers to head up to my YT.

[QUOTE = "Majinn, post: 11123437, medlem: 121039"] Några tips för en tankegång:

1. Haters. Det fungerar någonstans i livet. Om någon kritiserar dig och inte ger en lösning som gör din situation bättre, eller vägrar att konstruktivt hjälpa dig på något sätt, ignorerar du dessa killar.
Och om någon kritiserar dig och ger en lösning på ett problem, lyssnar du på dessa killar. Det hjälper dig att växa upp och det är en gratis återkoppling

2. Skatter på potentiell inkomst och sådant. Bästa råd som ges av de självgjorda killarna där ute, och majoriteten håller med om det - tänka inte för många steg framåt. Hantera vad du kan hantera just nu,
och minimera ditt schema så att du kan fokusera på nivå 1-prioriteringar som att göra innehåll just nu och starta rätt sociala kanaler för din personlighet i personligheten. Resten kommer i framtiden automatiskt.


Att uppnå mål är som att följa ljuset i mörkret. Du ser ljuset väldigt långt borta, det är ditt mål för slutspelet. Du tänker på det, du vill ha det, men du måste fortfarande resa genom buskar, fällor och väggar i mörkret.
Du kan inte förutsäga väggarna i mörkret, tills du går rakt in i dem. Först då handlar du om dem. Så det är inte nödvändigt att tänka på problemen när de inte är där just nu.

Jag önskar att du ska göra en bra tränare och inspirera fler människor till din passion! [/ QUOTE]

1. that you just said about haters i have that in my head, but.. i think much about people who will say " ooh look at him so stupid" or "He is ashamed" and things like that, go and laugh with his friends... i know that i will get some negative comments or hate comments of course but i dont give a f*ck for people who will hate over internet.

2. So according to what you said about taxes and so on, all that have a time? But the thing is in my country they are very seriously about taxes, if i earn 1dollar and if i dont pay taxes for this 1dollar they will f*ck me out like i had killed somebody.........

3. i love that motivational speak!! i need that thansk

Why ask here if you can search on youtube and find popular channels related to your niche. And do exactly what they do means be a copycat.

 

[Maistroo]

[QUOTE = "yellowdot, post: 11123479, member: 1175833"] Helt enkelt starta, ignorera hatare och försök att göra dina videoklipp så bra som möjligt på den givna tiden, även om de suger försök göra det bättre nästa gång. Det bästa är att om du går allihopa och komma fram till en anständig plats under åren är att DM dessa hatare och fråga "Vad nu?". Det bästa är att ha dessa första videor så att du kan roa dig själv när du tittar tillbaka och säger att det här var jag i början. Gå titta på någon populär YT-kanal där ute och sortera videor efter deras datum och kolla hur de gjorde sina första videor mycket värre än de gör nu. Du kan inte bli bäst i ditt fält utan att börja vid och vidta åtgärder. Om du fortfarande inte är säker på att du har tillräckligt med typ i sökavsnittet i forumet "JumpCut Academy"

Det bästa är att börja eftersom du tänker på kostnaden för att göra som inte är proaktiv när du tänker på det. Om du inte har en bra kamera tänker du aldrig på att börja. Du kan även få lite whiteboard-programvara för PC och rita med din PC-mus etc. För professionell programvara om du inte har pengarna gör du vad du behöver göra för att få det gratis som för början vilka matare ska börja.

Inte basera dig själv bara på youtube utan försök att experimentera lite med olika sociala medieplattformar och du binder för att samla publiken.

Kanske är det bra att starta din IM-resa för att motivera dig själv och visa andra vad du gör för närvarande och dokumentera vad du gör på det enkla sättet.

Lycka till, önskar dig alla de bästa [/ QUOTE]

Thanks for this tips, really i estimate that!
I will start read that later about jumpcut, i have some things to do right now. but thanks, can i contact you if i have more questions?

I know what you mean, but in my conuntry there is no one who do this i want to do, and i have seen other guy who had a very big whiteboard behind him but i cant effort that in this moment...
