How to Make YouTube Content for Cheap

Back in the mid-2000s, I would never have believed it would be so easy and cheap to record, edit, and upload YouTube videos.

​

It's never been easier to record, edit, and upload YouTube videos.  Let me show you how!

​

You literally don't even need a cell phone to make videos either, just a Laptop/PC, a free recording software, and a cheap Logitech headset.

​

Recording Software

​​

The pioneer free recording software is Open Broadcaster Software (OBS), the game-changer for recording your screen and streaming.

 

You can find OBS here: https://obsproject.com/

​

Headset

​

I recommend this Logitech headset from Best Buy:

​

These are pretty comfortable to wear for 30-60 minute stretches of time before one would need to take them off for a minute or two break.

​​​​

You can use this headset for PC Gaming on Steam or just for remote work, so it absolutely pays for itself in no time.

Video Editing​ Software​

​

Editing videos has never been easier.  Back in the mid to late 2000s, all we had available for free options was Windows Movie Maker which was pretty awful and lacking.

​

Now, we have tons of free and solid options.  

​

My 2 favorite easy to use video editing software are Clipchamp from Microsoft and Capcut from ByteDance (Tik Tok)
