Did this video help? Hitting the 'THANKS' button helps me out too 🙏
Yap it does mate thanks to you...
This really helps me out. It shows me how I can do this in the future. Thank you so much
I'd really love for you to make the video on your editing
I watch your content on a 4k TV mostly because of how good they look, well done!
It really does and it’s really inspiring too.
You summarized a three month course into 18mins. This is the most comprehensive I have ever seen.
Thank you!
A course? Who would waist 3 months going thorough a course to make TH-cam videos lol? I know there are people always trying to sell something but they are mostly marketing to the dumb and stupid.
@@survivalSCI would I know next to nothing about and these types of vids are really helpful
@@lonnieguthrie5375 I know the videos can help people. My point was the post that said a 3 month course. I just don’t like people paying for a course on how to make a TH-cam video. There are videos for everything on TH-cam. So I was more venting about companies taking advantage of people.
@@survivalSC people who buy the courses do it out of fear. They have no idea where to start and don't want to look stupid when they post. I've built channel's for years with well over 5 billion views but I did it teaching people how to build their channel's, to get views, subscribers and continued growth. I've only ever used the original TH-cam video editor to edit videos myself so learning to use a decent editor scares the crap out of me.
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my TH-cam channel 8 months ago about self development. Now I have 1,220 subs and > 1,000 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
That’s way more then you had before you started!
@@Msasha2727 Whoever you are, I don't know you personally but I can say that you're one of the non-judgmental and open-minded people who is not fixated on tangible or external factors in order to learn from someone like me. Just because someone doesn't have a piece of paper as a credential, doesn't mean that person is not entitled to share personal experiences with the hope & intention to inspire others. Keep up with whatever it is that you're doing to improve mankind or improving your life even to a slight degree each day. This is just one part of a bigger puzzle for creating my TH-cam channel about holistic health. I literally could have died back when I was 14 years old due to major depression but here I am right now replying to you, a TH-camr, who's full of fulfillment and dedication to help others to be a better version of themselves. I ain't better than anyone else but my old self. That's all that really makes this TH-cam thing more meaningful and enjoyable. Thanks so much for your support! I am hoping that you can join me with this endless personal development journey! :)
In the same stage as you! This type of video is so helpful.
@@ZarekSilberschmidt Thank you!
Implementing the lessons I learned throughout the years of lots of trials and errors changed my life trajectory and learning that there’s a yin and yang in everything. I wouldn’t have appreciated the power of kindness if someone was not cruel to me. I wouldn’t have realized the importance of growth if I didn’t see myself stagnating. I wouldn’t have appreciated the importance of health if I didn’t get sick. I wouldn’t have realized the importance of real love if I haven’t witnessed my parents’ relationship slowly fall apart. I wouldn’t have appreciated the importance of mindful money consumption if I wasn’t broke. I wouldn’t have appreciated the growth of my TH-cam channel if I didn’t start at 0.

You are so organized and consistent. I didn't even notice this video was 3 years old. It just goes to show that it's easier to start now than it ever was before.
It's becoming really rare to see real-experience educational videos like this one. Your videos are fluff free and aren't about someone reading out a product's spec sheet, instead about your personal experience with the product. Many creators have forgotten that the personal experience bit is what differentiates a TH-cam creator from an ad company.. thanks for keeping it real!!
I appreciate it. Thank you 🙏
Fluff free? Lmao. Whatever that means
@@SpawnPoiint Hi, i am hopeless at this, but can you give a quick guide.
If I make a video about another website that pretends to be news, can i refer to the website by name, or will this cause a problem?
Its a UK website, and the site removes any comments that the site owners do not agree with, which is why I wish to do this.
For example, if the ABC website says this.... and the other side to the story is this....
Thanks.
You got my respect didn’t know you did all this with just an iPhone.
Thanks mate.
I was shocked too. Still am
Not really with just an iPhone
For a one man band to do all that work from start to finish with just the essential equipment is pretty amazing.
Thank you.
3 years later and this was the most inspirational video I’ve seen. I’ve been doing this since 2016 I wish I would have seen this much sooner. Instantly subscribed to you. THANK YOU!
I took your advice and started my channel with nothing but an iPhone and an Adobe Premiere Pro subscription. I’m a little over a month in and already meet the benchmarks for monetization.
The best part is the comments that I get. They keep me going. Thank you for helping me start.
✌️
That’s absolutely awesome. Thanks for the feedback and good luck too 💪
Starting out myself now and feel encouraged by this! I am excited by the content itself but tend to be a perfectionist... it's nice to know it's better to just get started than to hem and haw until I get the "perfect" equipment!
'so i'm not repeating myself again and again, so i'm not repeating myself again and again' I enjoyed that joke far far too much 🤣
Haha good spot
Same XD
Me too😂😂
That was a nice touch to it.
Thank you man, you make me realize sometimes that I just make excuses for not making videos.
It took me 3 days to watch this video. It’s a compliment. I’ve been extremely busy, but every minute of free time I had, I continued this video until the end.
You tell a story well and provide real actionable advice! Thanks!
It is over 2 years ago that you create this video! Never the less it is most inspiring today. A big thumbs up for your work and afford you put in to it!
This was the most comprehensive breakdown of the YT creator process I’ve ever seen! Thank you. 😊
Thank you for watching
Same!
I like that he speaks as though he wants the listener to understand. He doesn’t sound like he’s reading from a script or teleprompter after pounding too much caffeine.
Thanksgiving and Christmas Day you have a great birthday
Alot of valuable content here. I hope to use your methods with my android. Thank you
Agree with most of the comments, no hard selling, no buying overpriced tech to achieve similar results and just bloody honest! Great job
You actually ironed out many of my doubts and apprehensions about creating content. 'Create what you are passionate about', that line ❤
I just love how you have created an audience for yourself now from where you started just with with some minimal gear and planning. Now thats the right way of doing it, creating with what you have and what you can afford. Pleasure watching your videos mate.
I like how genuine you are. I feel like some similar TH-camrs have the vibe of being flashy/cocky deep inside on how expensive their items are. Keep it up mate!
Thanks mate. It's really tough to want to show things, without sounding that way. I have zero desire to come across that way so hopefully that never shows 🙏
Shot on iPhone!! This is sick, and has motivated me to stop being lazy and get creative.. I 100% would tune in to any editing videos you create
Bro was so honest and detail that he summary everything a starter need without selling a course. Thank you!
Great advice. I picked up my aging Samsung S7 3 weeks ago and went for it. Really unhappy with initial results but uploaded anyway and have no regrets. I've learnt more about TH-cam, content and the process in 3 weeks than I have in the previous 3 years messing about but holding back from uploading. And, it's fun!
I like the bit at 10:20 when u say “im not unique and im not original at all” aka no BS statement 👍🏼
SP, I have been binge watching “Gear needed to start a TH-cam channel” videos for several days and I can accurately say that this video of yours was the most useful, by far. Seems to me if someone is asking what gear they need, then they are probably not prepared to drop $5000 dollars for what a lot of YTers are calling the entry level equipment setup… and your video said exactly what is needed to get started. Budget friendly and practical.
Thanks!
Thank you for the comment. Also best of luck with your channel.
I have no idea what content you create but I admire you showing every detail instead of holding the best cards to yourself. Great work!
I just watched your video and I must say that it was really helpful for me. Even though it was recorded in 2021, I found it very relevant even in 2023. Your personal opinion at the end of the video really resonated with me, particularly the idea that one can start a TH-cam channel with just an iPhone and no cost. This is exactly what I have been looking for.
Thank you so much for sharing your insights and knowledge with us. Your video has inspired me to take action and start my own channel using the tools that I already have. Keep up the great work and please continue to share more informative content like this.
Only seeing this a year later, have to say it really hits home with what I've been doing recently, definitely in that starting stage and doing it to get that creative itch scratched. Thanks for all the advice man, super helpful and inspiring!
To have a passion for creating and to be so thorough, it's such a pleasure to watch. And the beauty of this passion is it can be shared with billions. Absolutely well done, I loved you sharing your whole process, all using an instrument we carry in our pockets.
Finally someone who actually showed budget friendly options. And not $5000 budget options which are not “ budget friendly “ for most. Thanks again for all the info.
I just realized that I could have bought myself a tesla if I would film everything on my iPhone instead of spending all my money on camera gear...
👏😂 I'm working myself up to the same level as we speak.. 🤣😭😂
@@kundalinicalling3295 haha, apparently we are in the same “club” mate :)))
You are much appreciated bro 🙏
You made me change my mind of many things I wanted to buy or start with.
I have been looking at starting a TH-cam channel just to supplement my blog site and I eventually came across this video. Amazing! Thank you for all the really helpful tips and advice, especially for giving me the confidence to use equipment that I already have including my iPhone 14 Pro.
“If I can do it, you can do it as well.” Really straight forward and engaging! From your planning strategy, scripting, shooting, editing, and these all go super smooth. Thanks for sharing!!
This was incredibly comprehensive and exactly what I wish other creators would do when explaing their own pipeline.
Thank you. It’s confidence building to know that you can start doing this down, dirty and simple.
I've just started a business buying, trading and selling collectibles like video game memorabilia, vintage vinyl etc. and have been trying to tie it in with content creation for updates, unboxings and promos.
This video has been insanely helpful. The simplified nature of the guide is not only easy to follow, but a huge motivation to get some real work done towards achieving this goal.
It's only early days yet, but I feel a lot more confident in making some headway with it after watching this.
Awesome video, man. I'm definitely subscribing and having a look at some of your other stuff.
"Shot on Iphone" You are genuine brother. Fantastic job using your phone. You would have never known with this great quality.
Thank you mate
Thank for sharing the process and insight into what you do and what it takes content creating. Much appreciated, just love the fact that you don’t feel obligated to show your face all the time which is what’s made me put this whole process off for far too long! 😊
I just started my channel 3 weeks ago. This video inspired me a lot to get more creative and to keep working. Thank you very much.
This is by far THE BEST demo of getting a channel started. Thanks so much for everything you've shared, especially that you provided it all in a candid manner that is so refreshing and easy to watch.
Thanks for the comment. I appreciate it 👍
Great job man! I love shooting with the iPhone, the workflow is fast and efficient. You've got great tips and suggestions
Wow, thank you mate. I appreciate the comment!
i ageee. its so great and i got lots of tips on here and i will use my iphone 12 pro now to use this to record and create my youtube chanel
@@LorenzLucinTv u rich
Your reviews are great too!
bro, I typed up here because I wanted at least you to maybe see this you are the reason I make videos peace and love
The simplicity inspires me. I feel like my goal is reachable!
This is incredible! And fun to see 2yrs later, when I was ready for the info, hearing you talk about being at 50k subs - now you’re nearly at 400k! No doubt in my mind why you’ve grown. Well done mate! Thank you. ❤🎉👏😎🙌
THIS VIDEO IS LITERALLY EVERYTHING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO YOUR COMMUNITY
I just wanted to say...Thanks brother for all the tips, ideas, hope and encouraging words to all that wants to start the journey of growing their channel. As this process is currently going on with me even though I had my channel since '06. Just now trying to take my content more serious within last yr.
Good luck dude. You’ve got this.
“Shot on iPhone” - This is probably one of the most detailed videos I have seen on TH-cam in a long time. Excellent content and definitely motivated me to get cracking on my channel. Thank you and keep up the great work 👍🏻
Thank you mate. Good luck too.
Really inspiring mate. Thank you for making it so comprehensive. I start my own channel with minimum of gears and budget so it is really helped. Really appreciate it.
This is exactly what I needed to see. I’ve been thinking of starting a TH-cam channel and I have everything to get going. I appreciate you taking the time to walk us through the process.
I came here hoping to see what a phone can produce and have left absolutely blown away!! This has answered questions I wasn't even aware I needed to ask. Great work and great honest video 👌🏼
Love every second of this video! Simple & affordable tools and setup with professional-looking outcome. Feeling very inspired to shoot more content from iPhone only.
I appreciate the fact that you kept it simple and kept it real. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your video. I'm looking to get a TH-cam channel up and running but didn't know where to start. Your video brilliantly showed your thought process and your work process and the tools you use.and tips. This is definitely the video I will use in starting my TH-cam creation journey, you have covered the process the best I've seen. Brilliant thank you
you're one of the most inspiring and minimalistic youtubers I've ever seen! I frickin love it!
“Shot on iPhone!” 😆 Great video, by the way. Thanks for taking the time to explain with such detail all the work that it takes to create videos for TH-cam!
Thanks for watching too
te adoro chica geek!
Thank you so much for summarizing such a complicated process into something downright accessible!
This definitely gave me some inspiration, I felt not having a camera would hold me back from creating good content . So thank you for this very simple break form on how you can STILL make it happen .
Really enjoyed this video. Would be great to see an in depth video on how you edit your videos x
Hey mate, thank you creating these really resourceful videos. I was just checking out your review on Logitech MX keyboard and decided to check out the rest of your contents. There is a reason why certain channels do better than others, and one can clearly see the effort and passion that go with your video production. Unpretentious, succinct and straight to the point - no gimmicks, no silly antics, just good honest-to-goodness reviews. Love it. And thanks for staying so humble as well - it's a rare trait in today's world.
Thank you for the kind words, I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.
Thanks for all the hardwork and the ideas... You make me up from just sittin around the corner... Love from Malaysia...
I have to say. It's always impressive how you created all your content just using your phone. Definitely inspiration for me to do the same. Trying to make it as easy as possible without all the barriers. Thanks for all the work you do!
Thank you for the honest, clear and detailed walk-through of the entire video making process Chris! Very much appreciated! I had been pushing back putting up videos because of my bridge camera not being "good enough", but didn't think seriously about using my Google Pixel till now! Shared your video with a friend who has a similar conundrum.
Awesome to hear. Glad it helped.
I love this video. I've been putting off starting a channel myself and this really proves everyone's point that "gear doesn't matter". Over the past couple of years I've been buying more and more gear but never really committed to the whole process. The fact that everything on your channel is filmed with an iPhone gives me that bit of motivation to really get going. I love this a lot man 🙌🏽
Yes mate that’s awesome! Go smash it, sounds like you’re ready now.
We loved this educational vid!! And you didn't try to sell us a crash course like the other TH-camrs. Genuine stuff here. Keep it up! 💯 🙌🏼
Love the video and message/encouragement to just start where you are. Thanks!
This is by far the most professional & comprehensive youtube-setup journey I’ve ever come across!
Every process is Meticulously prepared & I can see how you enjoy doing every bit of it..
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you! I really do enjoy it!
This was excellent…every aspect was poignant, beautifully shot, and well narrated. Thanks!
This was such a great video! I love seeing how other creators setup their workflow. I try to remember that there are always ways to upgrade your videos each time without spending extra money on gear. Working on scripts, playing with camera angles, learning an editing trick.
I’m so grateful the algorithm showed me this video! This is so inspiring for simplicity and focus in making videos instead of getting lost in all the cameras and lenses. Great work!!!!!
Thank you 🙏
You wright some TH-camrs ,make you think that it impossible for a normal person to start a Chanel .
Thank you for this detailed breakdown!! I would love to hear from you a video specifically for starters, like a recommended beginner’s kit! Many of these is pretty pricey and so it’ll be good to hear what’s necessary based on your experience. You did touch on it throughout but it’ll be great if there’s a video dedicated to it.
I really value both the clarity and the granularity.
It takes me at least a week from conceptualization to the final edit... this video encourages me to streamline my workflow! Thanks!
Great job man! I'm from Brazil and i got inspired with your video. I'll use lots of things that you said on my new channel!
Thank u bro
"patriota e conservador" vai se fuder gado de presidente
Really inspiring work
Wow this covered EVERYTHING so well, clear and detailed - Even bits I wouldn't have even considered. Earned a sub from me.
I'm just getting into this so am watching videos to get started and this by far the best i have seen thanks for sharing this.
This was a pleasure to watch and learn. Thank you so much for sharing.
This was a thorough and informative breakdown of the process. Thank you for sharing! Also I would love to see the editing video for sure!
Thanks mate for such great content. This is the most exhaustive guide for me. Thank you and good luck with everything!!!
This is by far the best video I have seen about video creation process!
This is such a helpful and inspiring video! I appreciate how simple and clearly you laid everything out. It makes me feel a lot less overwhelmed with figuring out where to start with becoming a TH-camr. I would totally watch a video of you focused on solely the content planning and how to stay organized and disciplined as content creator.
Thanks so much for putting this out and look forward to watching your other videos!
Glad it was helpful!
You kept me engaged the entire time i never thought of stopping the video.
I never expected to even watch this and then bang i’m at the end of a 18 min video.
Well done sir. You’re passion and authenticity comes through.
Now to watch more videos from you!
Same here. As a newbie content creator, this was extremely helpful. I’m currently using my IphoneX to film and a Camerah brand tripod. Thanks For all the tips.✨👍🏽
I agree...
Thanks! There were a few things I've been unsure about that you helped make clearer for me. 🙏
I just started my journey , thank you for sharing this information. You have a great way of explaining and encouraging the listener! Thank you 🙏🏾
I've been a "content creator" for a lot longer than the than the Internet has been commercialized, (i.e. NYT Bestselling book publisher, book editor, magazine editor and more). The quality of your work, from beginning to end, is stellar, and good enough to motivate me to leave the first comment I've ever made on a TH-cam video. GOOD JOB!
I really appreciate your time to watch and reply too. Thank you!
Fantastic content, love how clear, concise, and to the point it is as well as how thorough and transparent you were with providing an entire breakdown of the process start to finish. Youve been an inspiration and I'm subscribing. 👍
Excatly not once did I get bored
I have watched a handful of videos on getting started and this is by far the best one
An excellent summary of your process. Cheers, mate!
Wow, loads of hours gone into making a 15 min clip, loving your workflow process and you are right, do it for your enjoyment of what you love. For me it is gear more to social activities which I love and promoting them as we are coming out as I believe there a need to having a community. Thank you for sharing!
Spot on mate, thanks for watching too.
"Shot on iPhone"
You're a massive inspiration. I'm using my phone at the minute, with a few accessories. I'll definitely be picking up some of the gear you've mentioned in this video.
That's awesome mate, thank you. I really hope it helps someone start/improve. I'm a nobody, but if it helps someone else that's the goal.
@@SpawnPoiint soooooo humble as always
Big respect 🤜🤛
Two years after you made this video, I found it and really enjoyed it! And I’m going to use my iPhone. It’s really hard for me to stop obsessing about the tech and focus on my content. Thanks for the inspiration and encouragement!
Extremely helpful and effective! Great purpose and production.
We are in the process of doing exactly what you’ve explained
Bro your a legend. God bless you
I have to give some respect! The video quality in this video is fantastic, I just found your channel today and glad I did. I also film just on my Apple iPhone 12.
Epic man, I was about to invest 5k to shoot content for my wife’s day spa, after watching this I’m super confident can create great quality content at a fraction of the price. Your gear lists are also super helpful. Subscribed! Thanks from New Zealand
Fantastic video, I have been overwhelmed watching multiple videos last few days about starting TH-cam and editing etc And came across this and made me realise I already have a few of the items you mentioned.. already!! Great video mate
Thank you for the inspiration. I always wanted to be a TH-cam creator on gaming, daily lifestyle or other fields. However, limited budget is one thing that stopping me at this moment.
A bad carpenter always blames the tools. You're absolutely a good one. Even with "all you need is all you have" setup, you still manage to create stunning videos. Very inspiring
Thank you for the kind words!
Hands down probably the best detailed video I’ve watched on a TH-cam set up / start up. Thank you! I’ll be doing some vlogging shortly fingers crossed 🤞
An absolutely fantastic video well explained and is awesome to see that you’re still producing content on your iPhone. Hope you read the message and see that people are still watching this video. Three years later well done
Thank you so much man, I just started putting more interest into my channel. This is amazing
“Best TH-camr” 😜 great job SP
Aahhhh mate. I think you were the first 😂
@@SpawnPoiint What are you working, besides TH-cam ?
Web design and development is my daily.
@@SpawnPoiint then I'm the second 😅🤣🤣
@@SpawnPoiint good✊
That was super helpful! Thank you for sharing your setups, really appreciate the information.
