Post a YouTube Tip

Not sure if this has been said yet (25 pages, dayum) but someone made a comment that made me think of this.

To anyone that is thinking of making YouTube videos or is just starting out; contrary to popular belief, you do not need a $10,000 setup to be a good YouTuber. You don't need a $5000 HD video camera, or a $3000 workstation computer or any of that stuff. You just need to make videos. If you are wanting to make beauty tips or vlogs or home movies most current cell phones have a really good camera that you can use to record, most Windows computer have Windows Movie Maker, and Apple computers have iMovie that you can use to edit with.

The sooner you start making videos the sooner you will learn what works, what doesn't, how to grow an audience, and if you are like me then you will also learn how to do YouTube on a budget. Even though now I have a $2000 gaming pc that doubles as my workstation, a $200 webcam and a $250 camcorder, a $200 mic with stand and pop filter, and I use Adobe Premiere pro for editing... But you learn how to do it on a budget and then learn the importance of each item that is required to improve your next video. Like for me, a better pc was a must so I saved up and built my current rig and slowly I've been acquiring my set up.
 
First tip for starting out is to ask yourself whether you're going to take it seriously or not?

Don't waste your time/money/efforts doing something if you do not plan on finishing it or doing it for the rest of your life OTHERWISE you're wasting your time.

Time on earth is limited, do not waste it on YouTube if you do not plan on putting in 110%.
 
It's short & simple but it's true.
You're not going to be perfect. Not when you start out & not several years down the road, but that's good. And be passionate, whatever you do on your channel just make sure you're passionate about it.
 
If you're a female YouTuber know that harassment is part of the internet experience. (This happens to Men too but I'm referring more to the sexual comments I've gotten.) It doesn't mean people have any right to do it BUT there's ways to stand strong against it. Watch the way you present yourself to encourage the right kind of attention. Ideally you want viewers coming back for your content and personality and not your boobs. Unless thats your thing, then roll with that. Just understand that you cannot run around half naked and then vent about receiving less than savory responses. Trust me when I say most all the weird comments you are getting are kids and focus on responding to those kick a** people who offer valid support and criticism.
