How to create the videos from smartphone
Any smartphone that you own you can totally have a flourishing channel on youtube. Create amazing content for your business or for other areas of your life just with what you have.
So when it comes to recording really great videos from your smartphone the first tip that I want to give you is
- Always use Front Camera
As a result, you’ll want to set your camera to selfie mode. You’re not only going to shoot yourself with this camera; instead, you should always shoot your Background.
If you’re using a front-facing camera, you can adjust the background by simply moving the angle of your phone.
- Set up your Gear and Accessories
Now there are three types of accessories
- Microphone is important to record with high-quality voice.
- Camera of course which is on your phone.
- Tripod: To be honest, on a lot of occasions when I’m filming a video using my Phone.
These are fine for Facebook ads or Instagram videos, but if you’re shooting a video for YouTube, Then you’ll definitely use a tripod.
- Lighting You’re going to need some form of lighting.
In the studio where I’m now working, we use a variety of lights, but you can get started with only a simple, cheap ring light like this. You can buy from Amazon by going here.

When recording video, focus on the lens rather than the entire phone.
If you have a tripod, use the rear camera instead of the front camera because the back camera has better quality.
- Look at the lens
It is very very important that you are looking through the lens of the camera.
If you look at the whole view of the phone, that’s wrong.
So here is the difference.
- Select the Right Camera Setting
Before you start filming, make sure you have the correct camera settings for your phone. This is perfectly acceptable. However check your options if 4k or HD is available, then choose it.
- Deliver your Content
Now, are you ready to deliver your stuff? As I previously stated, I failed because I was not adequately prepared, thus one of the best ways to ensure that you have excellent material is to ensure that you deliver.
Now I’d like to share some preparation tips.
- Do Your Research: I promise you that a lot of other people have developed similar stuff. So make sure you’ve done your research and watched their videos to figure out what makes it so great.
Why do they have all of these views and What can you do differently?
- Write down Some Notes: Once you’ve completed your research. Make a list of your most significant notes. Make some notes and write down some of the elements you want to include in your video.
- Break it down into Bullet Points: Then you’ll want to break them down into bullet points or in numbered lists.
When it comes to recording or delivering the content, you can literally pick up your notes and start recording.
- Add call to action
Your rallying cry In the spirit of a call to action. Make sure you include whatever your call to action is, whether it’s to get people to subscribe, view another video, or click a link in the description below your video.
TIPS AND TRICKS FOR CREATING YOUTUBE VIDEOS
- Be Consistent
To post a new video, you must always follow a specific procedure and don’t stop publishing new content.

I recommend doing two videos per week, on whichever days or times you want.

- Start with The End in Mind
When It comes to creating your thumbnail, it has everything to do with your mindset, which is, to begin with the end in your mind.
It indicates that one of the reasons people will click on a video is because of the thumbnail, right?
They’re clicking on it because of what they can see on the thumbnail that has grabbed their interest.
- Take a lot of Photos
Take a lot of photos for your thumbnail because when you are editing and thinking, Then you have multiple choices, that which Photo need to select.

Another fantastic idea is to stand out against a white backdrop because it is easy to change the background or add text on the thumbnail.

How to Create Youtube Videos without Showing Face
I’ll show you step-by-step how to make YouTube videos without showing your face. So you want to make YouTube videos and obtain a piece of the amazing pie from Youtube.
If you don’t want to record videos but still want to be a YouTuber or create video content for your business. I’ve used a variety of videos in the past, some with my face on them and some without.
So in this post, I’m going to show you a whopping 10 different types of videos that you can create and absolutely monetize without showing your face.
- Tutorials
I enjoy making tutorials, and I make them first thing in the morning. I get up at 5 a.m. to film my YouTube videos.
Let’s be honest, Who wants to do makeup at 5 a.m.?
So you can make tutorials about all types of things from tech tutorials, cooking tutorials, art tutorials, anything that you know about anything that you have experience or expertise.
- Hands-only Videos
How amazing is it that you can record videos entirely based on the camera simply looking at your hands?
So this works really well as I mentioned earlier if you’re doing Cooking videos or if you are a seamstress and you are working with your hands, some of this interesting and upload on Youtube.
- Listicle Videos
Now, what are listicle videos? Literally where you run through a list of something or numbers through something.
So I do this all the time when I’m creating programs or even videos for youtube but in this instance what I do is I use slides.
You can explain each point in your video, which is a great idea to explain or teach someone without showing your face.
- Point of View Videos
Now the point of view videos are really really brilliant. You need to go live streaming and share your review or thoughts.
For example, You use it for all sorts of things now. What is your point of view about all things in the universe?
- Unboxing Videos
The next type of video that you can create that doesn’t even require your face but just your voice and the thing that you are showing people is an unboxing video.
Recently I bought this backpack which has all of my filming content so the beautiful thing about an unboxing video is you can explain advantages and disadvantages, and affiliate links for that Product.
- Pet Videos
Pet videos all day long and everybody loves pet videos so if you have a cuddly friend in your home get them in front of the camera and you don’t even have to say anything about the beauty of pet videos.
Because everyone loves pets and wants to know more about pets.
- Products Reviews
Product reviews are very similar to the unboxing video but the difference is that instead of unboxing a brand new product.
This time you are going to be showcasing a product or software that you know or used and love and you trust or maybe don’t trust.
You’re going to be giving a review about the product or Software.
- Animation videos
Animation videos I really like animation videos the downside with animation videos.
However, it requires skill and it takes a lot of time but they’re actually brilliant. You can use a lot of tools and software which allow you to create animated videos.
- Inspirational Videos
Inspirational videos using stock videos. So now I have really gotten into watching or rather listening to inspirational videos especially when I’m at the gym and I’m just listening.
I’m not watching and sometimes I’m looking down at it but one of the beautiful things that I love about these types of motivational or inspirational videos is that they have 100 stock images.
So this is a really really powerful way to create Video content without you showing your face.
- Converting Your Articles To Videos
Converting your articles or blog posts into videos. Are another one of those things that you might want to consider doing.
We all know that blog posts are brilliant, but videos are like a million times much stronger than blog posts because it really helps you to build that know like and trust factor very very quickly.
