Lets talk about Vlogging gear. In this video we are going to go over the 3 different cameras I use for vlogging and specifically which ones I use for what.
I have the Sony ZV-1 with a rode shot gun mic for my main camera. The Sony zv-1 is easy to use, compact light weight, and great quality I highly recommend the Sony zv-1 as a vlogging camera. https://amzn.to/36f7FTS
BUT....
I didn't start off with that camera,
I actually started off vlogging with my iPhone. The iPhone is great when you are starting out its always with you and the iPhones now days shoot in 4k. I still use my iPhone today for a couple different things. I use it when I don't have my vlog camera with me, for time-lapse videos and for slow motion videos. The biggest draw backs to using the iPhone is the dynamic range of the camera and the audio with the phone.
I actually switched from the iPhone to the Cannon G7X Mark ii first which was great for vlogging but... It doesn't have an audio input jack on the camera still resulting in not so great audio. I came up with a work around for the audio by using the Zoom H1n. Which has great audio out put, but then you have 2 separate files that you have to stitch together every time you edit a video. Which editing already takes a TON of time so anything to cut down on editing time is amazing! https://amzn.to/3dLccBj
Which is why now I have the Sony ZV-1!
My newest edition to my vlogging gear is the DJI Mavic Mini 2! The Mini 2 is a great drone to have if you are traveling and are limited on space or just need something simple to get those establishing shots in your videos. The mini 2 has several features that make it great. Droney, which the drone zooms away from you, the Circle fly where it flies around a point that you select on the screen, and the fly in a path mode where you can outline a path for the drone to fly in. The other great thing about the Mini 2 is it is 249 grams so you don't have to register it with the government here in the U.S. https://amzn.to/3qRKybd
Thanks for watching guys, this is all the gear I use for vlogging! I hope this helps you make a solid decision in getting started vlogging!
What Is SHIBA INU (SHIB)?Once upon a time, there was a very special dog. That dog was a shiba inu, and this dog inspired millions of people around the world to invest money into tokens with the dog’s image on it.
According to the SHIBA INU website, SHIB is the “DOGECOIN KILLER” and will be listed on their own ShibaSwap, a decentralized exchange.
Who Are the Founders of SHIBA INU?The SHIBA INU WoofPaper has three reasons why their team created SHIB:
- “We started from zero, with zero.”
- “The brilliant minds behind Shib had never collaborated before.”
- “We love Shiba Inu Dogs.”
What Makes SHIBA INU Unique?The SHIBA INU website invites dog-inspired artists from all over the world to foster the “artistic Shiba movement” as they bring their SHIBA INU community into the NFT market.
SHIBA INU has also created a campaign using Amazon Smile in order to collect donations for rescue real, live Shiba Inu dogs with the Shiba Inu Rescue Association.
We are taking Shift For Success to the next level! After starting 3 YouTube channels and growing them from start to finish, I have decided that I want to help you guys be successful with your channels. So the Patreon account is how we are going to do that! I have 3 tiers on Patreon, a $1 tier that gives you access to one extra video per month. A $5 tier that gives you access to the one extra video per month that will be a more in depth video and a list of all of the tools that I use and the process flow that I use to be successful on YouTube. And a $20 tier, where I will set aside time to review your channel and give you a quick overview of what I think you can improve on, what I think you are doing well, and any extra advice you need, as long as you are subscribed to the $20 tier every time you email me with a serious question I will do my best to answer it.
I started this because when I first started YouTube I was seeking validation and advice from a potential coach but they were crazy expensive. My idea of doing this is to help you guys be successful at YouTube and help you launch your YouTube career!

NFT stand for None Fungible Token.
Basically an NFT is like having an original version of a pice of art work except in digital form. Recently someone made $63 million from an NFT collection that they sold. NFT's are becoming increasingly more popular. Its a good way for an artist to sell digital versions of their art work and make some money. NFT's can be anything from pictures, too videos.
In this video I go over what an NFT is and if you can make money from them.
Comment below if you think we should make an NFT and sell it, or if you think we should buy an NFT. Let me know what you guys think and we will do it!
What if I told you there is a way to Bio Hack Your Mind For Success.
Understanding how your brain works and how you can implement different ways of thinking to change the path you are on.
Neuro Plasticity is one of the most important things you need to understand when it comes to changing your lifestyle and your thinking.
What is going on with DogeCoin? Should you buy? Should you sell?
In this video we talk about what's been going on with DogeCoin.
A whale "large investor" has been selling off his dogecoin to lower his cost per coin just so happens that the day he started doing this was on April 20th which is Doge Day. By selling his shares he scared a lot of the new investors which is why doge continued to drop. And when he started buying back in, the new investors stayed out.
Crypto.com released an email basically putting out a drawing saying if you buy 100 dogecoins on the crypto.com site they will enter you in the drawing to give you 100,000 dogecoins and an opportunity to win a Dogecoin NFT.
I think Dogecoin has the potential to go back up over the next month. I believe that we will see .40$ per dogecoin again.
Next video we are going to talk about NFT's and how people are making millions of dollars from NFT's.
The following video after that I am going to talk to you about my top 3 real estate stocks, #1 pays out 39.6% dividends!

Find your niche and researching it
Finding your niche is the most important thing you can do for your channel.
Finding your niche enables you to do research on the right topic, and stay consistent in your videos.
Niche is essentially an overall topic on what your channel is going to be about.
Ex. Gaming, DIY projects, Cars, Fashion etcetera.
You want to pick a niche that you know a lot about, something you can be an expert on. The reason for this is because even if you don’t think you are an expert, the people watching your videos see you as an authority figure on your topic. Naturally you are in this role by default because people are tuning in to your channel for the value that you provide. Even if its only entertainment value.
Once you have chosen a topic for your channel, before you create your channel its important to start doing research on your niche. By that I mean research about your niche on YouTube and pay attention to its market.
You want to make sure that you have a unique niche but, not so unique that no one is looking for it. You want to make sure you have an audience to watch your videos.
Researching your niche on YouTube, instagram, reddit and even TikTok now days will help you get an understanding if your niche is something people are looking for.
Now that you’ve established hopefully what your niche is you need to get ready to create your channel. For this I recommend you head over to my channel design video and follow the steps in that video so you can be sure to set your channel up for success.
What video editing software do you use to edit your videos?
In this video I compare Final Cut Pro and Camtasia. We go through the pros and cons of each software.
I determine that there are certain aspects of each one that I think can be used. Final Cut Pro is more of an editing software that you would use if you are looking to make some major edits to your videos. Camtasia is geared more towards ease of use.
Some of the more advanced features in Final Cut Pro will benefit certain styles of videos for sure.
On the other hand if you are just starting out and want a good software that is easy to use I highly recommend using Camtasia by Tech Smith given the learning curve for it is a lot less steep.
All in all what style of videos you are creating will have a big impact on which software will suite your needs.

Goal Setting for YouTube
Setting goals when you are starting a YouTube channel is one of the most important things you can do. Its easy for small channels to get discouraged but constantly looking at the numbers. Subscribers, views and so on. Knowing this its important to focus on WHY you are doing this. WHY you have a YouTube channel, what your purpose is. When you know what your WHY is its easier to stay focused on that rather than focusing on the number.
Its also very important to set goals for yourself to improve over time. Making the quality of your videos higher with each video you upload. The goal you should set for yourself on YouTube is to get 1% better with every upload. This one percent can be focused on editing, audio, video, lighting, camera, back drops and more. This is how you can help keep yourself motivated while growing your channel.
Check my links below for the things I have gotten for my YouTube Studio to help get 1% better every upload.

In this video I talk about if you should start a YouTube channel in 2021, and is it worth it. The common misconception of being a YouTuber is easy is being put down once and for all. Being a YouTube Creator is a lot of hard work. Video editing, Thumbnails, Titles, Tags, large amounts of research, and dealing with haters. These are the main struggles that YouTubers deal with. If you are on the edge of deciding if you should start a YouTube channel or not you need to watch this video.
The work that takes place to make a channel successful is so much more than people actually see. A lot of thought and research goes into every single video that people put out there. Are you up for the challenge?
In this video I will tell you about the struggles and challenge you to start NOW!
