That's what an influencer is a content creator makes content and he's an influencer, right? Well the first item I have in the carousel the second item I have this was sent to me by toner. I was having audio issues uh earlier and uh They ended up contacting me and sent me a couple of They sent me a couple I just want to check the audio quick So they sent me a couple of microphones, you know to uh to test out to see to test my audio See what what the problem was it was my why or my cable my you know, whatever it was So anyway, uh started using the different ones that forget out my problem But that's what being an influencer is you know brands send you stuff for free to review, okay? Now these things this one's for sale. This was the the 777 the tc 777 right here, right? Really nice little microphone has it comes with a tripod stand for the and a stabilizer shock mount for the for the table and uh and uh what do you call?

So this is the tc 777 From toner they sent it to me for free. I did a quick video just I plugged it into my uh Computer usb plug and play, you know, it was automatically recognized and here it is Okay, today we're talking budget microphones.

How's the how's the audio sound? There's no adjustments on the microphone. There's no, you know, cough button or mute button There's no volume control. There's no gain control. So you're pretty much, you know stuck with what you got And as far as the the cord goes it's not that very long And it it doesn't unplug from the microphone base You know, so if the cord frays or bends or you know goes bad the whole microphone is bad You can't get a new cord. All right, but other than that, what do you think about that? Uh, I'm gonna pick pick it up So this is us talking into it now. This is me getting close to it, right? We'll do the pop filter All right now there you can see on the side pretty nice little microphone, right? Pretty nice little microphone USB plug and play you don't need any software to use it It just plugs in and but you're at the mercy of the settings because there's no adjustments to it So you you got this is it. This is what you get. You can't change it. Okay, you're just getting Okay, so as you said When I'm away from it It didn't sound so great. It wasn't it wasn't so great But when I put board it up and talk right into the pop filter, you know This is the cheapest microphone that they have this is on under $30 microphone So you're getting what you pay for but if if you need something to get started with, you know Don't let I can't afford to get started Stop you from getting started if you need a microphone if you need something, you know You can get started with your cell phone and and the microphone on your cell phone and and and just use natural light Get started, you know until you can upgrade to something better But if you want to get something, you know, you can definitely get started with this one Um, and we got a couple more. We're gonna go step up step up step up as we get going, of course, right? So this that was the 777 The next one I have in there is the tc 30. This one was a little bit better in my opinion a little better. Um Same setup desk mount tripod with the shock mount with the pop filter. Um, this one, uh, also came The usb, uh Cable but this one also unplugged from the microphone the 777 didn't unplug from the microphone The wire was hard wired into the microphone. So this is the toner tc 30 a little bit better quality and i'm gonna go forward here and see uh, it's uh Just under 40 dollars today. They're both on sale so far everything's on sale so far. So you got to like that So this is the tc 30 Okay, today we're talking budget microphones. Okay, we're talking about the toner tc 30 usb condenser microphone Uh to plug and play microphone. It doesn't take any softwares. It's got a two-year warranty coming with it right here Two-year warranty comes in a nice box Uh comes with a tripod a shock mount the pop filter and the microphone and and of course the wire It comes with a good length of the wire Uh And you're listening to it right now. Okay, so that's the toner microphone tc 30 budget microphone quality. There's no Uh No mute button on there. No cough button. No, you know, uh gain control no gain knob nothing like that There's no button on off switch on it. There's no volume control. It's just a straight microphone I don't know. What do you think? I'm gonna pull it up and show you you've been listening to it right now So there it is the toner t 30 tc 30 Let's pull the cord out now there how it's that's how it sounds from the back of the microphone This is how it sounds from the side of the microphone And this is how it sounds from the front of the microphone now This is a top microphone Uh, it picks up from the top not the side like the blue yeti will pick it up from the side This one will pick it up from the top. All right, and like I said, it's got the shock mounts with the desk tripod Okay, so a little better a little better And if you're speaking right into the the pop filter and speaking right into the microphone It's really good. It doesn't you know if you're sitting back doesn't pick up a lot of good stuff in the back But for the most part, it's a decent microphone I'm keep checking my sound because I had problems a couple of weeks ago with some Settings that I ended up having it was ended. I was checking on my equipment software Hardware use microphone cable usb port that I was using all of that stuff I was checking and it turned out that it was a setting I had in software that I was using to go live For some noise canceling setting that I had that was causing it to to mute to muffle the sound It was really crazy. So hopefully I got that fixed and I'm not having that problem anymore But so that's the tc 30. Okay, again, when you're speaking directly into it, it worked pretty good I think you know again under 40 dollars to get started, you know Get started get started, you know, what do you need to get started you need it? How do you be successful being a content creator? How do you get started? I'm going to go over some stuff stick to the end of the live stream We're going to get into it a little bit, but you're you want to solve a problem for people Okay, so you start thinking about that what problem do you want to solve? Okay, and think about what do you love to do and what problems are in that activity? Okay, and think about that for a little bit. So the next item in there And now we're stepping up to another one. This one is the uh, I think the Q9 arm Q9, this is the Q9. Okay. Here it is the Q9 comes in a box comes with the scissor arm, you know boom boom arm pop filter Uh wind wind guard comes with all that good stuff. Um, this one had a Volume control on it and if you hold it hold long hold the volume control it's a mute button But I'm gonna I'm gonna play it with I'm gonna look at that I'm gonna play it right now a video of me using it So you get an idea what it sounds like this one. I think you know Again usb plug-and-play no software involved here. We go to q9 Okay, today we're talking about budget microphones. Okay, we're talking about uh You're going to get started as a content creator. You want to start a podcast or a youtube channel or zoom you're doing zoom calls And uh, you know, you need a microphone So you start looking around you're saying I don't want to spend 150 on a microphone So you start looking at the cheaper microphones the less expensive microphones You're saying are they really worth it? I'm using this microphone right now This one toner sent me this one for free To review toner is a good company and this is the q9. Okay q9 comes in a box nice size big box Comes with the whole cabing the whole cabang in here Comes with the condenser microphone a boom arm set Shark mount and a pop filter and the and the windscreen that slips over the top as well And i'm using it right now where uh It's got a volume control button on it up and down and if you long press the volume Either the up or the down it's a mute button. Okay, so But there's no led indicator to let you know that you're muted or that you're unmuted or You know or what level the volume is that so I don't really know what level the volume is at right now I can actually turn it up I just turned it up a bunch of times I don't know if that makes a difference in the volume. We'll go back and check that out. So, uh But you know to get started you're looking to upgrade your your audio you want to get a microphone And uh, you don't want to go for the blue yeti or the shore or or something That's you know a couple hundred dollars you want to start out slow This one has the boom arm. So you kind of get freeze your hands freeze up the desk space You don't have to worry about uh banging noises and stuff like that when you tap in the desk And you tap in the keys on your keyboard It's got the shock mount on it to do to the boom arm. So you don't have to worry about that And that's got the The pop filters you don't have to worry about your peas and your teas and you know Your s's and whatnot and it has the windscreen on there as well comes with everything in the kit in a box plug-and-play The the cord unplugged from both the Okay, but that's what I like most about these now the third one Of course we're getting comments in the in the in the in the chat that the third one is the best one Of course, you know, you step it up in price It's worth it to spend a little more if you can In to get you know the the scissor arm and all that other stuff, but it's a better quality microphone as well Uh, definitely definitely comes across in the in the recording in the video It's just a better microphone. Um, those were the three microphones that toner sent me for free to check Uh, and I was very happy that they did. I'm very proud to test the microphones for toner You know, I'm looking forward to for the next step getting the next uh stuff from toner seeing what they got Um and as a content creator, that's what happens. Okay, they're they're definitely um, yeah natural tones. Thank you Babs. So, uh Brands contact you and or you contact them depending on the fit of it and they send you items to test and and You get commissions for the sales that you generate based off of it, right? Yeah, I know You can spend a lot of money on microphones You can really get crazy and and again these these are plug and play usb microphones. They're not you know Where you need a sound board and you need to you need a mixer and all that kind of stuff That's later on as you upgrade and you get better at what you're doing If if you so choose to upgrade your audio you can go that route and get the more expensive stuff Uh, you might even by that point have a crew, you know Video crew people that are running that soundboard for you while you're going live or doing your thing, you know That's as you'll get bigger and better, right? Um but yeah, so it's the sub 100 microphones you if you're Careful of what you're buying and you get what you need Okay, you figure out what you're trying to do with the microphone And then you get what you need and you only pay for what you need you don't get Features in a microphone that you're not going to use like like the blue yeti has a feature where if i'm doing an interview I can do both sides, right? It has a sitting setting on it where I can change it, right? I don't necessarily need that because i'm going to use two microphones if I do a video An interview so I wouldn't necessarily buy this one for that that purpose and spend the extra money I'd find a different one that would or I would find a pair that would fit my needs better, right? So that's the whole idea of equipment It's not necessarily the price or the brand name. It's what what fits your needs Okay, what fits your needs and and and get the get the best deal you can the best value you can to fit Your need to get started and then you upgrade as things go on, all right now Like I was starting to say that brands send you stuff to review and it's pretty cool pretty cool deal You know, I mean the next item megawise is a company that also sends me stuff to review And the items are for free and then you get commissions for the sales that you make so I mean It's it's a good deal for everybody.

It's even better. Okay. It's the only problem with it is that it's got a cord It's a plug-in. It's not it's not a cordless. Okay, but the really cool thing about this is the ergonomics to the thing Okay, this does something that those other ones don't do if you see the shape of this thing, okay All right, it's ergonomically. So if it's in your hand, I can do my whole back with this my shoulders I can get around my sides. Okay, you can't do this with the other one. You can't do it with that You know, it has the screw heads come right off real quick or they just screw right on Nothing to know, you know, no no hassle. No no pain. No pain in yet, but it's got all the you know Settings on it right here. I don't know if it'll affect the microphone if I turn it on but you know Let me tell you and I can get all the way down You can't do this with the other one. Okay, you can't you can't do that with the other one Okay, and I use this when I get home from work I run it down my thighs because I do a lot of walking and in the winter I was walking through heavy snow and I run around my shoulders in my neck because that's where I'm carrying my pressure And it releases the pressure, you know, and it really helps You know with body aches and pains and stuff like that and as far as your your your Your muscles because it's getting the oxygen out. It's it's it's working out those kinks. I'm stepping on a box As a content creator people sent you so much stuff that I'm stepping on boxes I got stuff everywhere. I got a pile of stuff that I still gotta make videos for Because I took a couple of days off for Easter. Did you guys do anything for Easter crazy stuff for Easter? I kind of just you know vegged out a little bit and didn't really apply myself as best I should have um But anyway, that's the handheld massager that I'm really I use it every day like they send me things for free. I wouldn't lie to you Okay, if it was crap, I would tell you it's crap. Remember, I told you that they they they make stuff really sturdy Listen to that It's not a cheap plastic thing. This has got some weight to it. It's not heavy. It's perfect in your hand You know, it's like when I say ergonomics. I don't know if you know what I mean ergonomics It's perfectly for your your hand where it's perfectly fit. So it's just naturally, you know It it holds the weight perfect. Um And it's a very useful thing and everybody's using these massagers nowadays So, I mean get one of course, like I said, it's got the cord to it So everybody's gonna say, okay, it's not as good as the other one because it's not cordless It's not chargeable, but this thing never dies. Okay. It never dies The other one's gonna run out of battery sooner or later. You got to recharge it It's great to take put in your bag and take to the gym, you know But are you really standing in the gym with the with the massager in the gym? People really doing that. You know, I mean, I don't know. Maybe they are but You know This thing you leave at home. You get home. You get out of the shower and or you know, wherever you take a shower You just you hit yourself up when it works really good um One of the next things in the carousel is up for sale. This is a practical uh power practical candle lighter. Um I have it right here. I have it right here Sparkler, okay USB charged, you know, what's the problem with candle lighters? They're always dead those long candle lighters that you need to light the candles because you can't hold the candle upside down Because you burn your finger with the regular lighter So you get the long lighter. They're always dead The kids are always flickering and people are always playing with them. They leak I don't know what the problem is, but every time I go for one It's dead and I have like two or three dead ones around the house all the time You're picking up the dead one. Why don't they throw them away when they're dead? I don't understand why they don't throw them away when they're dead But this solves this problem because it's USB chargeable All right, so it never is going to die and like it's like 3000 uses before it needs to be recharged. It comes with the USB cable Uh Hit it three times to turn it on it comes with a little safety cap on it like this and it's it's not a flame It's like electrodes on here and I don't know if you can see it Okay I'm going to light the candle.

All right Awesome awesome thing perfect for the candle Um Three times it shuts off like I said it has like 3000 uses per charge It's got the safety cap to put on it and you can leave this and it's you know always there um Solves the problem.

Um It's again ergonomics It's got the handle for the for your hand And you put your cell phone in here or whatever camera you're using and what's really good about this It's not one of those snap Holders it's it's a clamp.

That's that's why I love it Okay, that's why I love between the cradle between the this and the cradle And the top part over here that screws down on the phone it's not one of the snappy things and that this here is very sturdy and firm when you No matter where you put it it stays tight. There's no screwing to it. It's automatic It's a pressure to it. It's got some screws on the top to adjust this part But for the most part I love this thing now, of course, they sent it to me for free, but it this is high quality Texlar 48 inch selfie stick tripod with the bluetooth remote control If you're looking for something to start off with if you need a tripod to stand This is great.

Okay tripod if you're uh, you can never have too many things, you know, you can never have too many things tripods lights microphones All these when you're a content creator, right? So what do you need to start? You just need a cell phone to start Okay, find yourself What they call a niche, right? Which is a A discipline a hobby a sport an activity Something a profession something with a audience something that has a following something that has an audience that you can talk to right That you can market to that you can get influence over anything that has a group of people involved That's a niche. That's what you're looking for a group of people I should have pressed the cough button. I'm sorry about that But anyway, you're looking for a niche find out what you love to do. What do you love to do? Right, what are you good at? What do you love to do? What drives you? What passion do you have? Like are you the guy who loves to make legos? Are you the guy who? likes to do woodworking or You know paint pitchers or what is it that you like to do or maybe you like to do sewing or crafts or You know, whatever it is you like to do.

They sent me this first drone I said i'm a terrible drone pilot. I crashed a bunch of drones in my in the past, right? And they said well this one here is a beginner friendly drone Check it out. So I said send it to me. This is for sale. It's uh, what is it 23% off? Okay This is a good price for drone. And when do you see this thing flying? I'm flying this around my kitchen really quick I told him I was just going to take it out of the box And read read the directions how to pair it and take it off And I was just going to shoot the video and see what happened because like I said If it's not good, I'm going to tell you it's not good, right? So I'm going to show you the video in uh, let me see if I go Where do I have that video? I remember if I share it over here All right Just give me a second to share the screen. Okay, it takes your one man show it takes a minute to get everything started So okay, can you see that that's the uh, that's me at my table with the drone Now the drone folds up and fits in that remote control over here This little remote control opens up and that drone actually fits inside there pretty cool So I'm opening it up turning it on and I'm looking at the directions I'm going to pair it it's you do a couple little simple steps pairing it to get to the gyro and everything to get it to go And uh, it has automatic take off automatic landing Um has a return to home button on it Uh really cool drone and it's got a bunch of different speeds If you click on the carousel and go through I think it has three or five speeds I'm not sure this is on the slow speed and uh, it's really easy to control on the slow speed You know the thing with me with the drone was I always panicked It would turn around go in the right would be left left would be right all of a sudden I start to panic Well, this thing it was slow So I was able to react and get it hanging hanging the controls right away I even bounce off the wall with this thing once or twice and uh, it doesn't crash It just bounces off the wall because I'm going slow speed. It just I was able to turn around adjust and go Um Really cool beginner drone. I mean if you're looking to get into drone flying And you're you're you're not sure you're afraid to spend the money on a drone And you but you want to get an idea of how it is and how easy it is or how hard it is This is the thing to get this is the drone to get to start with Um for the for the price, you know, you don't have to worry about breaking the damn thing because it's so cheap And look at it. It's good quality drone. I'm flying it around the kitchen one two three This is no experience every other time I've ever flown a drone. I've creased and broken it Before this drone, I've broken two drones and one of them wasn't mine Right and and all I did was I creased it into the wall and it broke it to a million pieces, you know, so um But this one I was able again, I credit it to being on the slow speed Uh that I was able to control it very very very well. Um What do you think of that? What do you think of that little drone that I mean That's the hs 190 Uh pretty cool little drone buzzing around the neighborhood I mean, can you just to get the hang of it if you never flown a drone before and you want to learn This is the drone to get I guarantee you're gonna love it. You're gonna easily fly it I think this is where I bounce off the wall uh Bang check that out. That's worth the price of admission right there Now the drone banged off the wall didn't crash didn't lose control. That's a pretty good little drone for the price Uh, I mean, I'm sure people are running and buying it now. I have to seeing that I mean if you're if you're New or never flown before this is the one you need to get. Okay. This is the beginner drone for you. All right What do you think? What do you think of that? What did you think of that drone? What do you think of that drone the hollystone hs 190? Again, uh, they sent that to me for free to review Uh, and I was pretty impressed with it. Uh, it was dead winter when I got it So I I didn't have it outside. I just did it around my house And it's only small like this big and uh, you know flying it around the house You know the dog was chasing it was making that buzzing sound and the dog didn't didn't like it too much But you know, I had to test it. We had to do the video. Uh, and of course it was winter outside. So, um That one being done hollystone sent me the next one another drone to use this one was a little bit more expensive This is the hollystone 175d I think it is I can't really read it right now. It's 175d. I believe it is. Um This one was gps drone. This is the uh, largest drone you can fly without needing a permit from the f a a whatever it is, right? and uh It's got a camera on it that goes up and down doesn't go sideways goes up and down on the gimbal Okay, which was pretty cool. It's got 4k shot video Uh And pretty cool little drone. I'm gonna play you a video of me messing around with it in the yard It was again the end of winter just like it was like a month ago and it wasn't too nice out and uh So I didn't keep it up that long But I can't wait to get it out into it into a field and give it a check So this is the air it is taking off. Okay, and this is the camera on the on the drone itself I'm gonna yeah, I'm gonna show you a picture. There's I take a couple of pictures with the thing And uh, so yeah shoots it right up and this is uh another camera. I'm using uh my acacio 4k action camera that I'll show you later So this drone is pretty quick and then so this is from the drone All right, uh, now it's not 4k the video is not 4k. I don't think but the the the pictures are 4k um Now this has like I could send this out and as far as it goes Like I just did and hit the homing button and it'll come back on its own automatic gps Um, it was pretty cool. Like I really can't wait to get this out into an open field and mess around with it Uh, I live in the mountain area. Uh, and so I'm gonna get some nice pictures of some mountains and stuff with it um and If you're like a real estate agent This thing would be awesome till I get aerial views of the houses you're selling and stuff like that I mean, I think that'd be an awesome thing to do. Uh This is me still on the ground taking pictures of it But I you're gonna see some pictures of more pictures of the from the drone um But I'm just trying to hold position. It's pretty windy and I'm just messing around going back and forth and turning and Trying to get used to the controls. It's a little bit more serious than the other one was um, but again, it was I was able to control it get the hang of it Uh, I panicked a little bit when I was getting close to the house because I was I thought I was going to crash it And I overcompensated and it was around a little bit. But uh, You know, there's too many obstacles in my yard. There's trees and there's wires and stuff like that So I was trying to go above the trees a little bit. Um, so there it is with the camera again looking at the neighbor's houses Uh And I think I'm gonna take a picture or two in a second Drawing is a lot of fun. I mean it really is pretty fun And you're using your phone. I don't show it in this video, but you're using your phone on the remote control And and you're you're seeing everything in on your phone all the what the camera's seeing you're seeing on your phone so you can send this thing, you know at out of sight and uh Still still see what it's doing. That's on top of my house. I'm just hovering over to top my house I got a dead tree. I got to get rid of there And then we're gonna take a picture and that's it taking a picture Loads the picture and then takes it and there it is the 4k picture, you know I don't know if you can tell the quality the quality is pretty good. Uh and the and uh You really can't beat the price it is drawn To have the camera the 4k camera the gimbal and being able to adjust it You're gonna see me come down and adjust the gimbal to to take a picture of myself. Uh, and I think I do it right now And that's the camera coming up And then we take another picture And there it is. There's another picture. All right, of course, I don't get the yard set up It's like the the snow just melted and we just got more snow today um So we got more snow on the ground today here in the north country So I I Really can't wait to get this drone out into the field and play around with it because it's gonna take some good Good pictures in the gps mode and then it'll it'll end up going home And I uh, I don't know. I think I get hung up on top of the houses And but then it comes home eventually It you know gps figures out where it is And oh, I think I go into the tree over here. Yeah, this is the one that I went into the tree I backed in instead of going forward I backed into the tree And then I switched it to optical mode. You can switch from optical mode, uh to gps mode um, and that's Buzzing the top of the house And I think I think I hit the uh, the home button and I hear going home and there it comes Come it just figures out where it was and it lands It was it wasn't right exactly where it took off, but it was pretty close It was within you know, I would say like from the table You saw how far it was from the table. So that was that so Good drone pretty cool. Holly stone sent me that one That was the second one they sent me after the first one was the beginner drone Then they sent me this one. I'm gonna have a lot of fun with this one going out When we go to you know Like I said, there's a lot of mountains and lakes by me and I'm gonna take a lot of nice pictures We're gonna have a lot of fun with this thing and you're gonna you're gonna stay tuned Or okay, because of course the youtube channel you go to you didn't know dot live.

Okay make money in the future. That's that's passive income. All right now People think passive income doesn't exist because their mindset of passive income is sitting on the beach and never doing anything That's not what passive income is passive income is doing something today And making money off that in the future over and over again in the future That's the thing you over and over and over and over has the potential to earn you money over and over and over and over and over and over Right pretty cool pretty cool. So summertime is coming, right? I got this last year This was something I bought for my yard everything most everything else was stuff that was sent to me for free But this was something that was sent to me.

All right So okay, it finally came today the 12 by 12 Slant I'm gonna mute it sun canopy sun shape But this is me putting it together now It takes two people to put it together But I wanted to see if I could put it together myself Which I did and um, you know, of course, I speed it up a little bit so it doesn't take so long, but uh It would be a lot easier with two people, but you I was able to do it with one person You know, you see these at all sporting events people are putting these things up for half time Or in between innings and in between the double headers or whatever whatever your sport is Uh, you know, or just for picnics or just in the yard. I use this in the yard for shade um And you know, it's a six foot person could easily walk under this no problem Uh, you'll see when I set the whole thing up. I am myself. I'm five six not too tall I'm not too tall, but when I got this thing all the way you'll see Pretty good, you know A large person would be able to walk under there You see me having the reach up to do the the velcro straps to hold it in place, you know, so pretty cool um definitely Some if you need a screen if you need one of those sunshade things that thing was good came in handy I was able to put it up take it down fits in that little carry case Was easy easy Now the first one that I bought when my kids were little was a nightmare to put up It was as a matter of fact, I ended up throwing it away because it was just it was just just just such a nightmare to To uh to put together, but this one was really easy.

It's really the best coffee I've ever had The only problem is I'm a joe a junkie So I drink these things like crazy and because they've got so much caffeine in it. I get a little nutty, but uh I couldn't live without my death wish coffee. So what do you think?

I can't stress it enough Multiple streams of incomes to be coming in now with a youtube channel. You've got uh after you get 1 000 subscribers And 4 000 watch hours you get your ad revenue whatever ads are played on those videos You get a cut of that you get a percentage of that. So that's one revenue source coming in right then you have Affiliate links in your videos that you're getting affiliate commissions for So that's two video uh sources of income right then now you can also do it on instagram You can also do it on pinterest. You can also do it on tiktok and have Uh income streams from there as well. You can also create a course Teaching people how to do something in your niche whatever your niche is. Let's say now. There's the handstand coach I always talk about the handstand coach. He made a million dollars teaching people how to make a handstand You just think that's ridiculous, but you break it down that simply. Okay. It could be something as simple as uh, let's say the sport is uh baseball The the the niches sports then you niche it down to baseball Then you niche it down to pitching then you niche it down to Curveball right or knuckleball or something like that, right? So then only a certain amount of people are going for that knuckleball So you're getting a targeted audience right that's what you need to get us a target audience. Okay.
