Where to start

Create your own channe

You first need a channel and an idea which you like to share. Do you stream while you game, or do you want to vlog while you do your makeup? Whatever you record, make sure you have a platform to post your videos. Examples are YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, or Mixer. It also helps if you upload according to a fixed schedule, so your fans know what to expect. This way, your fans will know when you'll release new content.

Smile at the camera

The webcam

Of course, you need a webcam to record yourself. No matter your budget or how professional you want to stream or vlog, but a Full HD image quality is the minimum. You need a webcam that can record 1080p images. Do you have a bigger budget and do you want to stream or vlog with a high image quality? Choose a 4K webcam, so you videos are 4x sharper than Full HD.

Powerful computer

Use a powerful computer

If you vlog or stream, you need a powerful computer to edit the images. To edit your videos, you can use software like Adobe Premiere Pro. These are demanding programs, so you need a computer with an Intel Core i7 processor at the least. It also help if you have an NVIDIA video card to render images faster. To stream games, you need a powerful computer with a powerful video card.

A microphone or headset?

Use microphone or headset

If you stream games, you probably already have a headset. If you don't have a headset, you need a device to record sound. With the microphone in your laptop or webcam, you can't really record high-quality sound. Your fans can hear that too. That's why separate microphones or the microphone of a high-end headset are popular. A filter or noise-canceling function of the microphone avoids ambient noise in the recording.
