Content Creator Kits for Content Creators
When it comes to content creation, I always recommend that you start with the equipment you already have. Own a smartphone? If you answered yes then you are already ahead of the game to get started with your content creation.
I will give you a personal story of mine. When I started my YouTube Channel years ago, I used my Android Phone’s camera to review products to my audience. I also utilized my laptop and screen recording software to review software I used and share it on my YouTube Channel. That opened up doors for me to connect with brands and that helped grow my Channel some.
So if you have the latest iPhone or Android device, you will be able to get started right away. Smartphones are light and compact and allow you to snap a photo or even capture some video in matter of seconds. But what if you want to improve the quality of your content?
I’m glad you asked! As you grow your brand and monetize your content, I believe that you should invest that money back in your platform. Depending on how much you make and what you set your budget will determine if you should start looking at more expensive cameras and equipment. Again, start with your phone if nothing else. However, I am going to share with you some great items to really improve your content.

What’s My Recommendation?
If money isn’t a problem for you, I’d go with Option 3, but you can’t go wrong with Option 2. If you want to start off without making a huge commitment, I’d definitely go with Option 1 because most people own a smartphone and the video and photo capturing quality continues to improve.
You will ultimately have to make the decision that best fits what you want to accomplish. Don’t be afraid to use more than one option to create. You might find it beneficial when traveling to just take your smartphone depending on your mode of travel. If you are taking a road trip and driving your own car, then you can take your professional camera and use it when you feel the need to.
At the end of the day, start somewhere! Don’t let doubt creep in and make you think you have to start creating once you get an expensive camera. No! You can start with what you have! Good luck and leave a comment if you need more recommendations or clarity. I’d also love to hear your story and what you use currently to capture content!
