What it takes to become a Youtuber

Now that you've finally created your YouTube channel, you need to work hard to put your talent into practice and make videos that leave their mark.

For this reason I thought of helping you, giving you some suggestions on what are the tools that a good Youtuber should absolutely have.

Professional video camera

On YouTube you should make videos where you appear in first person. Personally, however, I do not recommend you to record videos with the integrated webcam of your PC. If you want to become a Youtuber and be successful you have to make high quality videos. My advice, in fact, is to invest in buying a video camera that you record at least in Full HD (1920 1080 ×).

Not very knowledgeable about which is the best camera currently out there and would like some advice? No problem: I suggest you read my guide on which Full HD camcorder to buy.

If, on the other hand, you believe you absolutely need a webcam, for a more practical speech, you can focus on a high-end model. For more advice on which webcam to buy, I suggest you read my buying guide.

Latest generation smartphone

If you think that the camera is not for you, you can think of recording videos to upload to YouTube, directly through your smartphone.

In this case, I recommend that you read my guide dedicated to the best smartphones. I also recently wrote a guide dedicated to iPhones. In particular, the latest iPhone models from the Cupertino house could be for you, given the technological innovations at the camera level. To find out more about the new iPhones, read my guide entitled “which iphone to choose”.

Assembly program

Once you have recorded your videos you will need to publish them on your YouTube channel. Before doing so, however, I recommend that you practice editing videos. Your videos will certainly stand out when made with a particularly captivating montage.

If you recorded the videos on your PC, you will need editing software. I told you about the most popular ones in my guide entitled Video Editing Programs and Free Video Editing Programs (the latter dedicated only to free programs).

In case you need to edit videos from your mobile device instead, I recommend reading my guide titled App to edit videos. You will find some tips for installing and using useful apps.

Tips for becoming famous on YouTube

You opened your first YouTube channel, followed my advice on the equipment a good Youtuber should have and started posting your videos.

Does it seem to you that it is difficult to get noticed and stand out, compared to the competition? Unfortunately, this is the case: YouTube has been a platform for some time and it is not at all easy to be successful. Don't despair, the last word has not yet been said.

I recently made a guide in which I indicated several tips that can be really useful to give a boost to your career as a Youtuber. I suggest you give it a read to find out how to have that extra gear that will allow you to become a famous Webstar. Happy reading and good luck!
