items I’m a content creator and these are the things I couldn’t live without!
This light seriously is the best thing that I’ve ever bought for my content creation. It took EVERYTHING to the next level. Like I didn’t know how much I needed a light until I got this. It’s so cheap too!

This is what I use for audio recording. It’s a fantastic starter one, you’ll probably want to get a higher quality one later, but if you are just starting this is an amazing addition and you will see the changes in your reach immediately

I love this small tripod. It’s not tall, but it works well and I love that it has a little remote you can use to take the photo or video from a distance. Don’t have to hit the button and run and hope to make it in place by the time the self timer goe...

This is cliche for a reason. One thing any content creator who is on camera HAS to have a ring light. This one is solid, fast and easy to set up and reliable. It’s not fancy because it doesn’t need to be!
UBeesize 12'' Selfie Ring Light with 62’’ Tripod Stand
If you do any type of UGC for brands or want to start, you can’t miss out on this. This photo box is surprisingly spacious and user friendly. This is perfect for beauty products or cosmetics!
PULUZ Mini Photo Studio Light Box Kit
This one is a little pricier, but if you do content on the go like at beaches or events, you’ll need a good stabilizer. Nothing ruins good content faster than a shaky camera. This basically turns your phone into a film steady cam!

This one is a little niche but amazing for working content. Filming you writing or journaling or filming tech reviews. It attaches easily to your desk and films what your hands are doing! It even has a light attached

Can’t have a content creator essentials list without a solid webcam. Often a good iPhone is all you need but sometimes it won’t cut it by yourself. This is great if you are filming yourself playing guitar or painting

Once you are ready to step it up, this audio mixer is an absolute must have. Especially if you are a streamer!

This one is much bigger than the small lavalier mics and is great for ASMR type videos or if you are going to sit still and film voiceover or narrations!
Logitech Blue Yeti USB Microphone - Blackout
I don’t use green screens so much in my own content, but I do have this set up for when I do need it. So many people do use green screens all the time, it really depends on who you are as a creator. Even if you don’t think you will use it much though...
Forlogic 8x5.3ft Green Screen Backdrop Kit
This isn’t a product but it is another guide made by a full time content creator. I recommend reading as many blogs or listening to as many podcasts as you can. There are no one way to make it, it’s trial and error but you can use other people’s tria...
