 Hey, what's up welcome back to my channel now in today's video this a little bit different I normally don't ever do videos like this But I've gotten a lot of questions from coaches and subscribers Who have asked me about like what's the podcast slash video setup? I have on this channel, and I'm just gonna show you Ultimately, it's like four components that I use and all of these components will be under this video So you can go and check those out for yourselves, and I'm just gonna go through this one by one So first I use an audio. Technica. It's called the audio. Technica at 2020 USB that is the specific Microphone that I use I've had this mic since 2016 right at the date that I'm shooting this video we're in 2021 I've had this for a very long time has worked very very good I have not had to go buy another microphone. It's been the same one And I have used this at this point thousands of times to do lots of podcasts lots of videos I have other channels that I have on YouTube that I run that I don't ever talk about on this channel here This has been the like machine All right that I have relied on and I love this mic because it hooks straight into my computer I don't have to like Set up all this these other things that end up hooking into my computer I don't have to like check my sound levels like I literally just turn on I Just plug it in here turns on I can start talking. All right. That's the first thing second thing is This microphone stand I got this for like $13 on Amazon super cheap it works perfect This hooks straight on to my desk All right, so you just kind of like set it up there and then you can position this wherever you want All right, so I can turn this however. I want all right That is very easy very simple to use and very affordable and I had for years I never bought one of these things. I would either just hold my microphone Or I would like put on like a little tripod, but I didn't like that because I'd always have to bend over To talk into it. All right, or I'd have to like stack up a bunch of things on my desk It just it looked very ghetto and I never liked that so 13 bucks go buy this on Amazon the last two things are more of like the software that I use and How the podcast get uploaded because these are really popular questions I get so let's start with how the Podcasts get uploaded first. So I use a service and I just switched over to this. It's called anchor and This is a company that Spotify owns. It's a huge Podcast company and I don't know why but it's free to use So I don't have to pay ever to upload my podcast there and they automatically get streamed over to iTunes Spotify And there's like a bunch of other smaller Podcast networks out there that they get streamed to and anytime I just upload it there I can upload it and schedule it it goes straight out And I don't have to like go in and do anything after that other than just keep making episodes, right? So that is a great free resource if you were thinking about starting either your own podcast And the cool thing about that too is you can upload video into it And it will take all of the audio from the video and it will just put into push it straight into the podcast So this way like if you do what I do if you have a YouTube channel, you can Take that YouTube video upload it into Anchor and then it will do all the work for you which is really really cool. It saves a lot of time And then lastly, this is like the software that I use when I do my videos and this has changed a lot over the past couple years We used to do it to where like we had like an actual camera, and then I had a mic system And then we would go back and edit the videos now what I do like is really simple. I have a Service that I use is called e-cam live It is the best thing I have seen this is like ideal if you are Doing things in one take or if you're wanting to edit within your video while you are talking so for example I could pull up this intro here, and I'm not gonna like show the whole thing, but I can pull this up here So I could do that I have other All right, so you can kind of see there you can go and you can upload It's cool. You upload videos there, and you can play that while you are Doing your podcast or doing your video you I can play background music I could do all sorts of stuff that I don't even use Because I like to keep things simple you can have things pop up on the screen So you can do stuff like this. All right, if you've watched in my videos, you can see all of these things that That pop up and I can control all of those without having to go back and edit anything which like Unless you have done a lot of podcasts you won't you wouldn't realize how much time that actually saves until you actually do this Now what I would say lastly all right because we have the mic here. We have this We have the software that we use to upload the podcast the software that I use to Shoot the videos last thing I shoot last two things First is the Logitech camera. So I have a webcam that I use. It's a streaming webcam. I Got that for like a hundred dollars Very affordable It's a also. It's a logitech And that I don't have the particular model in front of me, but I will include that below this video That is awesome. I think it looks cleaner and probably better than just a normal Camera that we used to have on it on a tripod It's also a lot easier to set up because I can just turn on and start shooting video I don't have to like go press any buttons or make sure it's autofocus There's really nothing I have to do with the lighting Unless I want to like if I wanted to make this look like a professional studio and you know coming up That's what it's gonna look like Then I can do that I can have lights that are kind of in front of me this way They're shooting here. I can change the background. I could put a green screen I could do all sort of sorts of things with Really good webcam. So that is like the specs of what I use And the last thing I would say is if you're thinking about doing a Podcast or YouTube channel doesn't matter It takes a long time to get traction and this is why most people don't do it But the other reason why most people don't do it is because they don't stay disciplined enough to create content For a long period of time. All right, and that is a it is a difficult thing to do But if you know who you are serving Then you shouldn't be motivated to do anything. You should just be disciplined to go do it no matter what And I'll be the first to tell you there are plenty of times that I don't Where I don't want to shoot videos I don't want to do these podcasts, but I do them anyways because I know deep down I know it's going to help people, right? I know it's gonna help people it helps at least one person Then I'm doing my job and I think that's the mindset you need to have if you are going to Go down the rabbit hole of doing a podcast or doing a YouTube channel I look at both of them the exact same, right? You have to Not only spend a lot of time doing it, but you have to learn a lot. There's a lot to learn after you start but hopefully this helps and Anytime I go to ask me. Hey, what do you use? This is at the moment This is exactly what I use whenever I update my background or If I have the new green screen that I'm probably gonna be getting later this year I'll make another video and I'll talk about that and talk about the the equipment changes to that point. So that's it for today's video, I hope you liked it and catch you later
