"I don't have the right camera" is NOT an excuse! | How to Vlog with Your Phone

[@Leameana]

Just an FYI, when creators say "all you need is your iPhone" like everyone has an iPhone, this can really throw beginners off and make them think that they can only vlog on an iPhone which isn't the case. I have an android and you can definitely vlog an android as well.

[@mahoganymuffin2628]

thank you! I was looking for this comment. All of us do not have or even want an iPhone.

[@tabithathewholistic]

Exactly!

[@yanikeonpurpose]

…. but people would naturally get that. The point is you can vlog on your phone & not always a camera.

[@Leameana]

@@yanikeonpurpose When Iwas first starting I didn't know I could use my android to do basically the same thing an iphone can do because there were little to no videos that taught how to vlog with an android it was all about the iphone.

[@GodlyMomTalk]

Great reminders, Erin!

[@kanabilly636]

I used to be scared to start a KZbin channel because I didn't have a camera or a good phone....but now am glad I did because I watch my channel grow tho slowly but its better than sitting around wishing.

[@SunflowerJoy5]

What camera/ or phone do you use

[@michelle.p05]

I started my YT channel last week. I’m shooting my videos with my phone as well. Still learning how to talk in front of the camera in the public because everyone’s looking. I’m shy 😊. Gotta keep learning and practicing 😊

[@ErinOnDemand]

It’s a learning process where practicing is key. You got this! Keep going! xx

[@Jassywazzy1]

Congratulations 🎉

[@wairimumurathi]

I started my KZbin channel this week, and I'm here looking for tips.... This is really helpful thank you.. The only challenge I'm facing though, is being in the frame, because i use my primary camera, ( better quality than selfie camera 😢)

[@Yuki_Official_777]

PLSS THATS WHY I GET SO EMBARRASSED- I wanted to do a skiing vlog but my phone was looking at the floor and I wasnt talking cuz I didnt want for anyone to see my phone and idk its js embarrassing💀💀

[@leaghleagh]

My solution for not wanting to talk in public is planning an edited in voiceover in the parts where I'm out in public. Obviously I'll work my way out into talking while recording instead of just voiceovers, but that's how I'm easing myself into it

[@faithjoseph9749]

“Get you a vlog partner that don’t irritate you” 😂😂😂 thanks Erin, I’ll be trying these tips out tomorrow!

[@JacqueGonzalesTube]

Where can I exchange my husband?!?!? 🤣😂🤣

[@nimatgrantham7479]

Erin, Girl I’m 61 years old and have sabotaged myself by always finding an excuse not to move forward with my vlog because I know nothing about technology and I doubt that I can do this. Thank Goddess that I’ve subscribed to you today. You really break down the technical stuff and make everything really understandable and interesting. After listening to you I’m ready to take the next step! Please provide information about your class. I’d love to take it!🙏🏾💜💜💜👍🏾🎆

Erin your videos get better every. single. week. It’s so amazing to me! This was such a fun one to watch and I’m a visual learner so the fact that you showed examples of the different angles we should look to capture was everything! Thank you for always showing up in excellence. You’re helping all of us see what’s possible and we love you for it!

I second this comment. It was fun to watch to the end. Im planning on vlogging today. Erin set me up for success. BUT THE BIGGEST TAKE AWAY was asking the husband to “surprise” her with specific tasks. Im STEALING that and implementing immediately 😂😂

[@nerdmommy7114]

I've watched a dozen videos about making a YT video, and this is by far the most informative and valuable. And only at 300k views?! You should make an updated version of this with better audio but still with this great content.

[@Billionette]

Any question I’ve EVER had about creating content can be answered in Erin’s channel and I’ve been watching for like 3 years lol Thanks so much for the effort and actual guidance 😭10/10

[@hubtothehills]

I have been watching you for 8 months now… I’m so glad I found your channel. It is so informative and you literally answer all the random questions in my head!… yet I still can’t bring myself to post my 1st video. I’m such a perfectionist, it’s like it’s never good enough🫤. My son is like ma u gonna get better, just post! Yet here I am almost a year later with hella footage and still no blog posted. Nevertheless, girl…. I love your channel…lots of substance, very informative and so encouraging! Continuous blessings to you and your husband!!

[@XaviSquadron]

I love how you and your husband interact with each other. That is so special.

[@strongmami3601]

😱 ahhh you’re a god send for this .. I have literally been contemplating for the longest on how to get started . Everyone makes it loook so natural

[@Discoveryplustrueexperiences]

Hello Erin, now this is what I have been looking for! I am older and just want to use my phone. I don't want to invest in all that stuff. I see your great points about the tripod. Also about getting a microphone. Yes, it is scary for someone in their 60s. I just feel that my experience in festivals can help those with that passion. You have such a great talent in teaching in helping bloggers get on that road. So I want to thank you.

[@proudsmiler]

Never too late! You have the courage to start something new, I'd say you're brave.

[@melspoon]

Even tho im not a content creator, i got hooked on this video and stayed on. Love how you have created this video and explained everything so clearly! 😊
