020 - Creating a Gaming Content Career with 300, 000 Subscribers on YouTube w/ Eric Choh aka ericship111

October 08, 2021 • Tawsif Akkas • Season 2 • Episode 8

Eric Choh aka ericship111 is a full time YouTuber with over 300, 000 subscribers on his channel. Eric was naturally into video games growing up - and today his channel is built around the niche of gaming - specifically the popular racing video game Forza Horizon.

The thing here though is that I have known Eric personally for over 10 years now. We used to go to the same university for our Bachelors of Architecture and in some ways we were both...let’s say slightly disinterested... on the degree which in a way I guess formed our bond. Even back then, I remember Eric used to just love creating videos and put them up on YouTube. We’ve kept in touch every now and then but a decade later, Eric has turned his passion for gaming into his full time job and that’s pretty awesome.

In this video, we talk about Eric’s journey into the world of YouTube and gaming, the doors it has opened for him, the struggles of a content creator and how he continues to serve an audience for over a decade. If you are looking to start a YouTube channel, changing careers, or just curious about the world of digital content - this is the episode for you.
