Hi, I was wondering a few things and hopefully you guys can help !

I am currently self employed and don't really have enough money to buy all the great equipment and stuff so up until now I have filmed a few videos on my phone ( Samsung Grand Prime) and the quality isn't the great but I want to wait until I have the money to buy a good camera and a mic. I Am editing videos in Windows movie maker and I am not really happy with it but I don't want to invest in a lot of things until I can you know?

What do you guys think, is it a bad idea to continue filming on my phone ? I think its better to just do it and than as I can save up I can start buying the things I need.

Any advice or suggestion is highly appreciated !!

Lots of Love, Linda

The quality of the video with the camera is not that bad tbh, the microphone can be improved a bit. I recently got myself a camera and did my first ever vlog with a camera, before that I had this creative twist where I combined my drawings to be a representation of me in my vlogs.
If you are serious about it or wish to invest in youtube you can go ahead and do so.

I say never wait, if you want to make a video then do it :D A phone camera is fine as a starting point :)

Don't wait!
I've always wanted to be a youtuber when I was a kid, but I always had an excuse as to why I shouldn't be making videos, and a lot of those excuses were because I didn't have the necessary equipment. Fast forward a few years later, I actually do have the equipment and financial stability for me to make a channel and I'm regretting that I didn't start sooner!
Keep on making videos with whatever you have right now, and gain the experience of having a youtube channel. You can get better equipment when you're more successful and I don't know about anyone else, but I love going back to a famous youtuber's first few videos and seeing how much they've changed since they started, so having your videos being in subpar quality instead of amazing quality would give your viewers a sense that you're human just like them with a humble beginning.
