If there's one piece of advice an aspiring YouTube creator needs, it's to just start.
Benji Travis, who has been on YouTube for over a decade, told Business Insider that a creator doesn't need fancy equipment to be successful. He said his wife, Judy Travis, who is popular in the beauty-vlogger community, filmed her first few YouTube videos with a camera that cost less than $50 propped on a stack of shoe boxes.
Judy, known as Itsjudytime online, was the first in their family to start a channel, and since then, the family has grown to help run over five YouTube channels.
"She didn't have anything fancy at the beginning," Benji said. "In fact, she had no experience."
After successfully growing an audience 11 years ago by sharing makeup and beauty tutorials on Judy's channel, the Travis family launched a daily vlog channel in 2011, ItsJudysLife. Both of the YouTube channels have over 1 million subscribers.
Benji uses his platforms to share tips for growing a successful career online. He and Sean Cannell are the coauthor of the book "YouTube Secrets: The Ultimate Guide to Growing Your Following and Making Money as a Video Influencer." They run the YouTube channel Video Influencers, which has 530,000 subscribers, sharing similar tips.

How to start a YouTube career without spending tons of money, according to a creator with millions of subscribers

Here are four steps Benji said anyone could follow when they are starting out online:
Benji and his wife vlog their daily lives on their YouTube channel ItsJudysLife. Benji Travis 1. Choose a passion to share beyond wanting to make money.   When starting a new YouTube channel, it's best to choose a specific topic or theme within your content that you are passionate about sharing. Being passionate about the topic, rather than just sharing it with the goal of making money, will allow your content to build a genuine following.
"You need a passion for what you're doing," Benji said. "It's got to be beyond just wanting to make money."

What value do you want your content to provide? Is it to teach someone a new skill? Help them figure out a problem? Or make them laugh? The desire to help someone and provide value will drive your content and should be at the heart of why you are doing it, he said.
Judy knew a lot about makeup and beauty and decided to share her tips online before making money on YouTube was even a possibility. Her message outweighed any equipment or editing, he said.
2. Skip the fancy equipment and just start.  Benji said once you narrow down what you want to film, it's best to get started right away. Start with your iPhone or smartphone device, which likely has a good-quality camera built-in.

Typical DSLR cameras, which you will see some professional YouTube creators using, can cost anywhere between several hundreds of dollars and thousands of dollars. This doesn't count the additional equipment you'll need, such as a tripod.
But you don't need that.

The YouTube phenomenon Jennelle Eliana, who gained 1.6 million subscribers within a month of posting her first video, previously told Business Insider that she used only her iPhone X and the $29.99 LumaFusion app to edit her videos.
"There have been a lot of conspiracies that I have a whole team behind me, but I literally just film and edit on my phone," she told Business Insider.
Benji says to skip the fancy equipment and use your smartphone. Benji Travis 3. Pay attention to lighting, which will enhance your video quality.  "The more lighting you have, the better," he said.
Tips for free lighting:

Use natural light from a window. Face the window and place the camera in front of the light shining onto you. 

Consider filming outside if the light is better. 

Gather lights from around your house and place them behind the camera. Point the lights so that they are shining onto you.

Paying attention to the way your video is lit will enhance your video quality overall.

4. Hacks for using what you already own to record your audio. If you are going to spend money on anything, Benji recommends purchasing an external microphone, like a lapel microphone that plugs directly into an iPhone, he said. These range between $20 to $30 on Amazon.

"What you're seeing nowadays is people using their Airpods as their microphone," he said. "You can use your AirPods as a microphone, and it will capture better audio than what your phone can. That's one little hack that a lot of people don't think about."
Airpods, or other wireless headphones with built-in microphones, can lay on your lap and record better audio than the phone in front of you. Benji also recommends plugging in headphones with an external microphone into your phone in front of you, similar to using a lapel mic.

Card games where you match and discard cards in order to win are called Rummy

Classic Rummy is played against other players; online Rummy is played against the House

How to play Rummy online is explained in this article

Many players have played Rummy card games. Perhaps you did too, in childhood or teenage years before the internet replaced table and card game evenings.
Rummy games are often modified but the goal is similar in all of them. You match cards to get rid of them. You win if you get rid of all your cards before the other players do.
When you play Rummy at online Casinos, you don’t play against other players. Thus, the rules change a bit.
How to play Rummy online then? This article will have you covered.
How to Play Rummy at Online Casinos The most popular Rummy game online is the Three Card Rummy. You can play the game both for free (here) and for real money (here).
The gameplay of the Three Card Rummy resembles Casino Poker games:

You place your ante bet

You get your three-card hand

You decide whether to raise or fold

You see the dealer’s hand and whether you win or lose

Of course, the devil is in the details. So let's get to it.
The Ante Bet First, your ante bet.

It’s a compulsory bet to make in order to join the game of Three Card Poker.
No ante bet = no cards for you, pal
The minimum bet is $1 and the maximum bet is $100. You choose what wager suits your bankroll the most.
Your 3-Card Hand When you place your ante bet, the dealer gives you three cards.

In the classic Rummy, you’d get a lot more cards. And the game would last until one of the players gets rid of all of them by taking new cards and discarding the sets of three matching cards.
Since the Casino play is fast-paced and requires wagers every step along the way, the rules are modified to suit just that.
You get three cards and you have the highest chances to win if they are matching. But let’s be honest, that won’t happen most of the time.
So, instead of looking only if your or dealer’s cards are matching, the points are assigned to your hand. Much like Blackjack.
Cards Hand Value 2 to 10 Their face value Jack, Queen, King 10 points Aces 1 point Any Pair1 0 points Any Triple (Three of a Kind)2 0 points 2-card suited Run (Straight)3 0 points 3-card suited Run (Straight)4 0 points 1Pair - two cards of the same face, e.g. , 2Triple (Three of a Kind) - three cards of the same face, e.g. , 32-card suited Run (Straight) - two consecutive cards of the same suit, e.g. , 43-card suited Run (Straight) - three consecutive cards of the same suit, e.g. ,
As you can see from the table, the more your cards are matching, the fewer points you have.
And that’s a good thing.
Your end goal is to have fewer points than the dealer.
The Raise Bet When you see your hand (and its value), you have a sense of whether your hand is strong or weak. In other words, if it can be a winning hand (beat the dealer) or not.
Based on this judgement, you make the following move: raise or fold.
If you raise, you place one more bet. It’s equal to your ante.
For example, if your ante is $1, your raise bet will be $1, too. Thus, your total bet, in this case, is $2.
If you fold, you lose your ante bet and the game ends.

The Finale If you fold, you still get to see the dealer’s cards.
You know, to get that sense of regret in case you folded when you would have won. Or relief after you see you would have lost and the folding was the right choice.
If the dealer qualifies, you win more
If you raised, though, you yet to see whether you win or lose.
The dealer flips their cards face up and you compare your hands. The one with fewer points wins.
If the dealer qualifies, that is.

Again, like in Poker, the dealer needs to qualify. In Three Card Rummy the dealer qualifies with 20 or less.
The dealer qualifying (or not) affects the outcomes of the game.
Dealer qualifies Your hand has fewer points You win even money on the ante and win raise bet (payout depends on your hand) Dealer qualifies Your hand has more points You lose both ante and raise bets Dealer doesn’t qualify Your hand has fewer points You win even money on the ante and the raise bet is a push Dealer doesn’t qualify Your hand has more points You win even money on the ante and the raise bet is a push In case the dealer qualifies and your hands have the same value, both ante and raise bets are a push.

Bonus Bet There’s one more bet you can make at Rummy games. It’s a bonus bet, thus, an optional one. That’s why I left it for the end.
Make the bonus bet in Three Card Rummy only if you strongly believe you will get a really good hand.
The good hand being anything with 12 points or fewer.
Obviously, you can make it only before you get your first cards, so, along with your ante bet.
The better hand you have, the bigger is the payout for the bonus bet.
For example, in case of suited Run , you get pay of 100 to 1.
The Payouts of Rummy Games Online While the ante bet always pays even money (1 to 1), the raise and bonus bets have paytables based on your hand value.
Raise bet paytable:
Value of Your Hand Payout 0 points 4 to 1 1 to 5 points 2 to 1 6 or more points 1 to 1 Bonus bet paytable:
