Hey YouTube Power Hour Squad!
Did you miss my YouTube LIVE? Fear not, this week’s solocast is a replay of my YouTube Live! Grab your notebook and get comfy, this episode is packed with advice you won’t want to miss!
We are a full 6 months into 2020, which has been the craziest year for just about everyone. I don’t think anyone could have anticipated anything that has happened this year. Now that we are at the halfway point of this year, let’s step back and take a minute to assess where you want to be in the next 6 months. In this post-COVID world, it’s now more important than ever to be able to make money from home, and a lot of people have decided that being a full-time YouTuber is their vehicle to be able to do just that.
So what can you learn from this episode? Let’s ask ourselves the following:
- Where do you want your channel to fit into your life?
- What analytics should you be paying attention to? What numbers should you be reaching towards?
- The choices you make today will take effect later. Sometimes that even means the videos you make today won’t take off until next year. The only thing that won’t help you is doing NOTHING. So… what are you doing NOW that will help you down the road?
- Are you where you wanted to be? Are you on track to where you want to be?

MY FAVORITE BUSINESS TOOLS
Course Creation: Looking to create a course? Kajabi is the BEST platform hands down. I use this for my course after extensive research on all the other platforms.
Live Calls and Interviews: I use Ecamm for my podcast interviews, both audio and for YouTube that you see here on YouTube. It makes it super easy to share my screen and create the split-screen with my guest. I’m not super techie and this software is really easy to use!
Webinars and Live calls: I use Zoom.us for my group coaching calls in my private membership group for female YouTube creators. It’s also the software I use to record my Road to 100k YouTube Subscribers Masterclass!
THE BEST YOUTUBE/PODCASTING EQUIPMENT
After interviewing HUNDREDS of successful YouTube creators, these are the pieces of equipment that hands down get mentioned time and time again. You can’t go wrong with anything on this list!
- 4k Camera: Great for starting out and vlogging
- Lens: This lens is recommended highly by many of my podcast guests, it gives the blurry “YouTuber” background look.
- Audio: If you want to upgrade your set-up, audio should be one of the first investments (after a good camera). This microphone is unanimously the favorite amongst my podcast guests.
- Podcast/Voiceover Microphone: If you are looking for a great microphone for a podcast or video voiceover, this is it! This is the one that you see in all of my videos and the one I’ve recorded my podcast on for years.
- Webcam: For my interviews, that you see in my videos, this is the webcam that I use. Super inexpensive and easy to set up!
- Inexpensive Lighting Kit: Need to pick up some lights but don’t want to spend a ton? This is a great set that will get you started and help improve the look of your videos.
- Ring light: Looking for that beauty look? Invest in a ring light! This is an inexpensive light that does that trick!
