Tech for Recording & Broadcasting
Logitech Web Cam
I originally bought this to host webinars and conduct skype interviews with clients, but soon realized I could use this to record my YouTube videos (for my lifestyle channel) too! You can usually find it for under $80 and the picture quality is clear and crisp. Just try not to move around so much - as it auto focuses well too!
Blue Snowball Mic
I originally bought this a year before I decided I wanted to start an official podcast. I thought I'd make it easier to access my content on the go. So I began making audio versions for some of my long posts (because I can write for days ya'll - this resource page is case & point). Have not regretted it one bit and it's not only inexpensive but super cute too :)
