So I have a YouTube channel, genre/niche: CreepyPasta and "spooky" mythology and facts from across the world.

Pros: It has monetization, It's very ad friendly. I enjoy telling this stories

Cons: I can find the time to research record and edit, though very difficult.
My MIC broke(50$) and can't invest in another one at the moment.

Writting here to se if anyone has some tips and/or solutions. The cheap microphones do indeed suck for this kind of jobs. The channel make only a few bucks(2-4) a month, but it has potential if I keep regular uploads. Problem is whitout voice acting it's hard to keeep the channel up xD Should I keep going with a sh**ty mic untill I can afford a new one?
Or use softaware to rad in robotic voice and do mostly facts untill I can buy that new mic?

I am writing articles here for 1 year and I have saved 200$ from FC. I am going to buy Blue Yeti MIC which costs 320$ here in Amazon India. This MIC is so good that your voice quality improves on channel. I suggest you do anything you can and invest into this, your money will return two folds once channel takes off.

Hi!
I already had the same problem. When I started my youtube channel I didn't had a good microphone. I started to use an old headset... and then I made some research and found out that many people use their smartphone to record their voice
My smartphone is no big deal but was better than my old headset.

If you have a smartphone you can use it to record until you can buy a microphone...

Yes, That is what I was hoping to buy next,high qualiy indeed judging from most reviewers and users.
Till now I used the Corsair raptor HS30. It is a headset but for the price of 50$ It need an AMAZING job for one year, until I dropped it

I was going to say use your phone for now.

I'm sure there's a mic that falls in between the cheapest junk and the pricey one. Read reviews and see if there is a mid-range, moderately priced one that you can use until you can afford the more expensive option.

Good luck.

That's not a bad Ideea, I can edit with audacity most things to do a decent quality record.

Being a Vblogger in youtube, you should know your topic well, do not create different topics so your audience know what will be the reason to follow your Vblog.

I think you should invest a mic because it is the reason why your youtube channel is growing. But it is your choice

If you have financial constraints just be creative. You can use your smartphone to record your VO and use a free audio editor like Audacity to edit it. Then you can mix it with your video. You can continue saving for your favorite gadget.
