Anshu Bisht popularly known as GamerFleet has crossed the 1M YouTube Subscribers milestone recently. A long-desired dream of becoming a gaming YouTuber has finally manifested for this young and talented Indian gamer. From doing odd jobs to procure a basic personal computer and even access to the internet was a real challenge in the initial phases of his life.
GamerFleet has been instrumental in overcoming each challenge positively and has emerged to be one of the most successful gamers with 1M subscribers on YouTube, in the span of just one year.
For someone who hails from a small town in Uttarakhand, belonging to a humble family, choosing gaming as a full-time career option was not an easy decision to make. GamerFleet has been passionate about gaming since his teenage days. However, he was only able to pursue his passion for gaming after he completed his graduation in 2017. On completion of 1M subscribers on his YouTube channel, GamerFleet, Anshu Bisht shares anecdotes from the challenges life threw at him, and how he ensured he turned them around to make his dream into a reality.
While talking about his journey he says, “It all started with consuming gaming content via YouTube on my mobile phone, and I did that day and night. That is when I realized I wanted to get into gaming. But then, I did not have a PC back then, and neither could I demand my dad to get me a PC to play. He earned around 10-15K per month, and I did not want to burden him with my demands. I choose to earn myself to buy a PC and fast-speed internet service for me to play, stream and create content. I started giving home-tuitions to elementary school children in my town. Within six months I saved some money and then bought a second-hand PC for around INR 6K. I did not wait for a single day after that and soon started to record, edit, and upload my gameplay videos.”
“Explaining gaming as a career to my parents was the biggest challenge. They had no idea what YouTube or gaming is. Hence, it was harder for them to understand how gaming can be a full-time career that pays. I come from a family where education had to be my top priority because my parents wanted to give me all that they never had. It was very tough for me to make them understand how YouTube and gaming could help me earn. With each passing day, my family started noticing me playing more than ever. They had expected me to take up traditional career options and suggested that I start looking for a job/work. I even joined a company in my town and worked more than 18-20 hours some days. With time, I realized this is not where I belong, and I had to move to Delhi and work there,” he further added.
