If you've been Googling how to become an influencer (or the like), you're def not alone. With the pressure of AI taking our jobs and everyone and their mother becoming "internet famous," it's hard not to wonder what it takes to get on that influencer train and make some passive income of your own.

The good news? You only need a few (super affordable) gadgets to get started, and one you've already got — your smartphone!

And since Prime Day is happening right now, you can get other stuff (e.g., a ring light, mic, headphones) for way cheaper than usual. I dug through all the garbage listings to find the creator gear deals that are worth hitting "add to cart" on today.

Insta360 Snap Selfie Screen with Light

The Insta360 Snap Selfie Screen with Light is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: a little magnetic screen that pops onto the back of your phone so you can frame up high-res selfies and vlogs using your phone’s rear camera.

It has a 3.5-inch touchscreen that mirrors your phone's display in real time, and this specific edition includes a built-in light co-developed with beauty-tech brand AMIRO — it features three colors and five brightness levels that are supposed to make your skin look ahhmazing even in poor lighting.

DJI Mic Mini

If you don't have a mic yet, you need to hop on this deal before it's gone. The DJI Mic Mini is one of the best upgrades you can grab if you want to make TikToks or vlogs without draining your bank account.

The tiny clip-on mic weighs just 10 grams, so it looks super discreet on camera. Plus, it’s basically idiot-proof: just plug the receiver straight into your phone, and you're ready to go. It has a 10-hour battery life and comes with built-in noise cancellation, which, according to Mashable Lead Shopping Reporter Bethany Allard, is impressive.

"With and without the noise-cancelling feature, the mic picked up my voice while barely picking up the sound of wind — birds and car engines were lost in many cases," Allard writes in her review. "To my surprise, the mic also somehow avoided picking up the piano playing, despite the fact that I was recording about 20 feet away from my partner."

Ulanzi SC-01 Heavy-Duty Suction Cup Mount

Ever wonder how beauty influencers get those perfectly framed GRWM mirror shots without an awkward tripod knocking all their skincare products into the sink? This is the secret. The Ulanzi SC-01 is a heavy-duty suction-cup mount that lets you stick your phone or camera directly onto your bathroom mirror or a window.

It uses a manual air pump to create a vacuum seal, so it won't suddenly unstick and ruin your reel. Plus, the magic arm has a double-headed, 360-degree rotating ball head so you can angle it however you want. It's so strong that one Amazon reviewer said they used it during a one-hour helicopter flight (mounted on the windshield), and it held up through turbulence.

Amaran Go Mini Phone Light

Good lighting is the easiest way to take a photo from so-so to oh! The Amaran Go Mini Phone Light is a super affordable way to get that studio look.

This ultra-compact, pocket-sized light snaps directly onto the back of a MagSafe-compatible iPhone (series 12 through 16) and features a clever dual-light design that lets you flip between a forward-facing main light for your videos and a built-in adjustable mirror light for quick makeup touch-ups with the click of a button.

Bose QuietComfort Headphones

If you're going to be editing videos or writing captions for hours, you need a comfortable pair of noise-cancelling headphones. We featured the Bose QuietComfort Headphones during last year's October Prime Day, but they're back on sale and still totally worth the hype.

Mashable Shopping Reporter Samantha Mangino reviewed them and called them her all-time favorite pair. According to her testing, you can wear them all day with glasses and earrings without experiencing ear fatigue. They have a 24-hour battery life, impressive noise cancellation for coffee-shop editing, and a physical power switch so you don't accidentally leave them on and drain the battery.
