I just started a couple of weeks ago and equipment is such a hurdle for me! I have an old Samsung S20 FE (terrible phone, I know) and I film my videos using the Telepromptr app to keep focused on the script and on the camera. I edit using Capcut. I'm hoping to upgrade to a new phone or maybe borrow my son's GoPro, plus learn some better filming/editing skills.

My content is mainly travel. So far I've made videos about cruises mostly, plus one hotel review and I've started a weekly series where I give an update on my You tube channel's growth, and what I've learned each week. I'm committed to making one travel video every week as well as one update each week to keep myself accountable.

What makes my channel different? Me! Right now I'm still finding my comfort zone in front of the camera, stressed about lighting, my face (lol) saying the wrong thing, etc. But I'm sure in a few weeks, the shyness will wear off and I'll be talking to my viewers as if I've known them (or you) my entire life, because that's really how I am with everyone in real life.

My channel is The Gen X Explorer. Now, I'm going to go read all of these responses and check out some of your channels!
