If You Had to Start a YouTube Channel With a $100 Budget, What Would You Spend It On?

Would you invest in a microphone, editing software, keyword research, thumbnails, or something else? I'd like to hear how experienced creators would prioritize a limited budget.

I'd keep editing free at first and spend on a decent mic if the videos need voiceovers. Clear audio makes a difference, and you can learn what thumbnails work by testing them yourself before paying for tools.

I’d invest in a decent mic first and use free editing tools. I’d also spend time researching keywords and analyzing competitors to understand what people are actually searching for. Good titles and thumbnails can make a big difference, so I’d test different approaches and use the analytics to see what works best before spending more money

I would use @TopOneYouTube's service to rank a video. Any video. I would make a couple videos using YouTube autocomplete. I would record audio of me speaking with my phone. No need for an expensive microphone. And I would get footage from other places on YouTube or a free stock footage place.
