Podcasting

Skype: I use Skype for most of my interviews – keeping costs to a minimum. Skype-to-Skype calls are FREE! Check out my quick video showing you how to download and set-up Skype.

eCamm Call Recorder for Skype: records Skype audio and video calls directly to your Mac. Record automatically, or use the record and stop buttons. It’s that simple. If your using a PC, use Pamela.biz.

Auphonic: for noise levelling. This creates an audio level that balances both speakers – very important for listeners! Auphonic is FREE for 2 hours of monthly processed audio!

Libsyn: This is the platform which hosts and publishes the Economic Rockstar podcast.

ATR-2100: This is my preferred mic that I  use for my podcast. To be honest, it was recommended to me by other podcasters. For fantastic audio quality and a nice price range, you can’t do better than this mic. Check it out on Amazon.com where you can save $$ NOW!

Note-Taking

Boogie Board: I’ve recently purchased the Boogie Board LCD eWriter. This is an amazing tool for paperless writing and drawing on the go and allows you to sync and upload notes to Evernote or to share on social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook.

Images

PicMonkey: Check out PicMoney for free photoshop-like images created using simple and amazing templates. Customize the size of your images for Google+, LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook. Add text too! Fantastic for creating thumbnails for YouTube too!

Canva: Canva is another fantastic image-creation platform. Create and design amazing images or quotes that are shareable on social media platforms. Canva even have a Design School that takes you through steps in how to design beautiful images. Great for presentations too!

Creating YouTube Videos

Camtasia: Record what’s on your computer screen to create powerful video lessons. Narrate as you go then edit your videos by adding effects, green screen, or quizzes. Share with your students to watch 24/7, on their own devices.

ATR-2100: This is my preferred mic that I  use for my podcast. To be honest, it was recommended to me by other podcasters. For fantastic audio quality and a nice price range, you can’t do better than this mic. Check it out on Amazon.com where you can save $$ NOW!

softbox amazon ukLighting: Lighting is KEY to creating video if you want to feature. The more light, the better. I use these cheap softboxes that you can get on Amazon. They’re designed to give a soft, natural, daylight look and they work brilliantly, making you look the professional.

 

Periscope: Periscope is the amazing live streaming app developed by Twitter. It allows you to stream live to followers anywhere in the world. Use Periscope to teach and inform your students, to collaborate with colleagues and to reach out to those who would love to learn what you are teaching.
