🎙️ You don’t need GH¢50,000 to start a podcast
Let me save you money and excuses.
One big lie in media:
“Wait till you have full studio equipment.”
So people wait…
Until their idea becomes “I almost started.” 😅
Truth:
You don’t need GH¢50,000.
Many creators started with:
👉 A phone
👉 A quiet room
👉 Courage
📱 Your phone is enough
Your smartphone already shoots good video.
Place it on a table or tripod (under GH¢200).
Face a window. Free lighting. Done.
🎤 Fix your audio first
Bad audio = people leave.
Start with a lapel mic (GH¢200–GH¢400).
Upgrade later to a USB mic for richer sound.
🏠 Your room is your studio
Avoid echo.
Use curtains, carpet, sofa or even your closet.
Soft surfaces = better sound.
💡 Lighting matters
No yellow bulbs 😄
Sit facing a window.
Or use two white bulbs in front of you.
✂️ Edit for free
Audacity (audio)
CapCut (video)
Cut mistakes. Balance sound. Keep it simple.
📈 Upgrade later
Start small. Stay consistent.
Mic → Light → Camera
Not vibes → expensive gear → silence 😅
🎯 Final word
The mic doesn’t make the presenter.
The presenter makes the mic matter.
Start now. Not perfect. Just started.
