What I learned Streaming 1000 Days In a Row

[@MuklukYoutube]

Ok, this is freaking awesome. I just learned a Social Media Managing course in Portugal is using this video as a teaching tool and they love it. I mean.. I make guides, but I never expected it to be used in an actual classroom. I cannot express how freaking cool this is to me.

As a college professor, I too am used to talking when no one is listening.

[@MuklukYoutube]

LOL

[@JackJackoff88]

this guy is godsend . not only he teach us about gw2 , he also teach us about stream and list out all his mistakes just so we can learn . What a champ !

What a guy!

[@AyinMaiden]

Thanks for sharing Muk!

[@klausarmanius2639]

Hey Muk! Just wanted to say that your "why play guild war 2" video was actually the reason why I started playing. I am currently 2 months into the game and the content plus the community is more than I ever asked for in a video game! Thank you for making that video :D

[@ericahess7508]

Now when people ask about streaming advice Muk can be like "I got a guild for that" XD. In all seriousness tho, congrats man. You earned it.

[@drdoctor9146]

I first followed you at around April 2019. You had around an average of 30 viewers or so. Now, it's almost April 2021 and you have an average of 300-400 viewers.. Your channel grew up so fast :')

[@zallesz]

Congratulations! I personally have no interest in ever becoming a streamer, but it was great listening to the process behind it. You have created a great community, I love the fact that it's PG (honestly, sometimes the jokes are even more creative this way), and you do (!) play a part in this great game getting more exposure. Thank you for everything Muk :)

[@alexanderchipman9571]

Love seeing a bit of the man behind the curtain.

[@mormegil231]

I thought that was Chip...

[@Foreverenpointe]

One of the things I truly love about your channel is the fact that you don't curse. I mean I curse...but I am able to watch your content when my 3-year-old is around. It makes you unique and you are my go-to when my daughter is running aMuk (haha see what I did there?) But, for us parents of young ones, it's super appreciated.

[@Laranity]

This is a fantastic video!

[@JD-ef1jb]

I found you via your KZbin guide about choosing a class. The humor really got me. Then I discovered Dennis and was hooked. Come for Muk. Stay for Dennis. (and potato Muk) Great job man. Here's to another 1000

[@999GoldenGirl]

I first found this channel on KZbin mid 2020 when I was looking up guides for gw2. I had been playing for a while, but was still learning new things about the game. Only a handful of seconds in, I had tears of laughter raining from my face and a new appreciation for my first mmorpg game. In return, Muk gained another fan. I followed him on Twitch, and have been enjoying his streams ever since.

[@mistereiswolf70]

I´m not a Twitch watcher but I love KZbin and I love GW 2. I have not played gw 2 for month but i watch most of your videos because you are realy a good entertainer. Stay healthy stay save Muk and thanks for all the laughs.

[@Dragmer]

For a long time I was only a youtube viewer and watched your content because you seem like a guy who had fun playing. Instead of having your vids on loop, I decided to join your stream even when I don't like the stream content at all. You are the only exception that I have with the streams, I enjoy your twitch content a lot and I want to thank you for all the dedication that you have. Keep it going Muk :D

[@SenorMoody]

I discovered your channel last week. Then I logged in to GW2 and you were right in front of me, hovering on your skyscale. I said hello, but you didnt say hello back. I cried.

[@MuklukYoutube]

LOL a thousand apologies, but I see you this time. (I might've been afk, not even sure)

[@jrpg0]

you are amazing muk! thanks for sharing and caring!

[@joaomachado9105]

congrats! The gw2 community is proud to have you here :D

[@andrewk.7065]

Hey Muk, thanks for sharing buddy, keep doing your thing.

[@june_o9]

To me, you are the best GW2 YT creator. Can't remember since when i am following you but I love your videos and your attitude :) This video showed me stuff about you that I didn't knew before and i am really happy to hear that even thought you've lost your job, you are happier than ever before :)

[@jameskearney2728]

Having only recently found your channel Mukluk I have become quite addicted to your content. Your voice is pleasant to listen to and you have interesting content. I am happy to of found this channel.

[@laurapiacentinicasarin8205]

I found you on youtube, watched some videos and then i went to twitch to follow you, but unfortunately you stream at the same time i go on my gameplay time in gw2, so most of the time i cant watch you there as much as i would like, just on weekends i do it and have so much fun. Good to see the struggle is real and that you made it so far and is still growing everynight with so much charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent.

[@juriteller3688]

Thats like a marketing lecture i had last week😂

[@numetone]

Love you and your content Muk

[@jamaicanambasador]

"... but also the happiest i've been, since my childhood" your content makes us happiest people alive. No matter what happens your viewers are with you. Mukluk was working so sooo hard to grow up on youtube or twitch, you just deserve it man, wp :)

[@silenciowolf]

Wow, I really love Muk's content and now he make this video. I have to say, it's really inspiring see this critical and introspective point of view in his content. I'm currently streaming for about 2 weeks and realize that one of my favorite content creators had some on my struggles on his early days really boost my confidence in my own progress a little bit. It make me shake away the thought of this unreachable goal of be a great content creator someday. It's a hard way, but not unreachable anymore. Thank you Muk, you just gave me an extra motivation to follow this little quest of mine.

[@Kasger]

Thats an insane milestone, you're a machine Mukluk! Congrats man and keep it up, really enjoy your videos :)

[@repapeti98]

19:14 Such a wholesome moment

[@CaptainOfAverages]

Congrats on 1000 days, here's to 1000 more!

[@dePinkpanther]

Congrats muk! Your streaming and making youtube vids will always be the best!

[@BusterDonuts]

Very good tips, very inspirational.

[@atreusduvelll600]

Super interesting video, Muk! Interesting to see how growth works in this arena.

[@jakejewkes2122]

Muk I appreciate you and what you do every day!! Keep up the amazing work!!

[@sunnydbear]

I don't stream, but I still found this video incredibly informative. It's inspiring to see how much thought and effort you put into your content. Thank you!!

[@xusel4975]

I think the thing that realy captured me when I found you maybe 1 year ago, was your humor, the informative guides, the short and appealing videos, and the swear word free language. Ty for everything!

[@LimerickFF]

I'm always recommending your guides to new people I come across. Thank you for always making clear, to the point, material, with a dash of funny. Whenever I look up anything GW2 related, I search to see if Muk has it first.

[@JasonCebedo]

Underrated channel, period. I try to hop into the streams whenever i can, and gw2 since then has been my favorite MMORPG to date. Thanks muk for giving us these guides in improving the gameplay of tyria. Congratulations! You deserved it :)

[@nishantkhaklari83]

Thanks for sharing your journey so far and giving so much to the community. Do take rest when you can.

[@thom449]

A very cool story, thanks for sharing it! On Twitch, I really like the atmosphere, although when you're in Europe, you sadly miss a lot due to time zone differences. On KZbin, I especially learned to value (a) the end cut and (b) the 'get to the point' series.

[@AncientTJ]

Congratulations muk. Very inspiring video. Well earned and honestly well done.

[@TheProfaneProphet]

I'm usually weary of people who grand stand at the start of a video but you had some useful information. Props for not giving the same random generic information that helps no one :)

[@MuklukYoutube]

Thanks! I definitely wasn't trying to grandstand, more just prove that I had grounds to talk about this to any naysayers.

[@TheProfaneProphet]

Numbers generally don't mean much to me, I'm just glad to see someone out there offering selfless advice. I hope you continue to grow and thrive.

[@Laztic]

Awesome video! You are an inspiration!

[@wullxz]

Good job! And thank you for rejuvenating the Guild Wars 2 community :)

[@rheono5839]

Thank you Muk, and everything you do for our GW2 community :)

[@brenobarbosa3489]

Your videos helped me getting in guild wars 2 January this year, now I'm full hooked and involved with the game, subbed to your channel on twitch, Twitter and yt too, nice content creator :)

[@BubbaSvensson]

Lovely video to see how you can do this and get into working with it full time. You don't need a super big game on the twitch platform and a pure passion is enough in a bit smaller game like Guild Wars 2.

[@Exonfang]

Extremely well put together video. Great content, great advice and takeaways! Enjoy your streams and content, keep it up Mukluk!

[@Methillo]

Great advices Muk! My wife is just thinking about starting as a Streamer so this is very helpful. To be honest i found your content because of some quick guide you made for KZbin that was so "to the point" that i subscribed right there. I'm not much of a Twitch fella but i did follow you there for support (like i do for content creators with great content) even if i only watch the snips you post on KZbin. Keep up the great work bro.

[@Shayrianna]

Great video, Muk

[@GentleBones1]

This is actually really nice hearing, I'm glad your hard work paid off Muk 😊 I'll try to watch your streams more often again lol I've been on a hiatus from twitch.

[@silimaurtelemnar9373]

Would be cool to turn this into a series :p you could recommend streaming software, editing software etc etc, or hardware and what is needed. Doesn’t have to be specific brands or whatever if that is uncomfortable but more of a “here is everything I learned about the software I needed to do x”

[@chanhaoen62]

great job muk, living the dream :) remember to take a break when you need to!

[@OldFrienD14]

I played Guild Wars 2 on 2019 and went to youtube searching for some tutorials amd found this channel. It's help a lot back then to understand the game. Thank you. Anyway it's good to know about your experiences during streaming. 👍

[@SteveDevonport]

Hey Muk...waits 10 seconds...oh never mind! As a returning (as in just got my Gliding level 1 mastery) and very casual GW2 player I've found your videos very useful and enjoyable - keep up the good work.

[@fractaldisarray1518]

I loved this video and want to add to the voice that I'd love to see more of this type of "behind the scenes" content once in a while! I also enjoyed your videos about how to do editing and your thought process! I just really enjoy knowing a bit about your thought process as a creator and not just seeing only the final results! Keep on being awesome, Muk!

[@Pike27]

"If you want to do it seriously, you have to take it seriously" That is the biggest takeaway. In 2016 or 2017 I had this brilliant idea to record myself playing and talking, and always posting on KZbin. I had no idea how much more time it would require per submission, between making thumbnails, editing rough parts out, interacting with the community and stuff like that. I still want to go back to it, but not before I sort some things in my life. The pandemic did not help either, unfortunately. When I do go back to a content creator life, I'll rewatch this video for more tips and insight.

[@kitkatsue552]

Great video, truly some food for thought for anyone considering streaming content. Thank you for putting this video together, and a big shout out to Noxxi for some very fine editing!

[@michaelcoffey1991]

Since we only got here 1.5 years ago it was nice to see the young Muk and hear how the channel grew from your start til now. Very good stuff Muk :). An the raid leader joke of no one listening was also very very true. Thanks Global Icon

[@Boozsha_Bo_Bellys]

I'm extremely glad for you success, I hope you continue to be even more successful. Well deserved. I've watched you over the years and you have been a class act.

[@myscha_sleddog7784]

Great video! Thanks for sharing your experience. As a game developer who PvPs all the time, it's very cool to see you become self-employed doing something related to gaming! Rock on dude.

[@kerry9909]

This is honestly one of the best videos yet, I've always wonder how people start and what it takes to be a content creator. Thank you Muk! 😊

[@timberrecycling]

love the "just be yourself" advice!! for the record i started following you because of your insane consistency with gw2

[@noelic6744]

I don't stream or do youtube, and I never plan on working in any form of entertainment, but I have watched this video so many times. It's a really inspiring story how you were able to find yourself a footing on twitch and youtube all by yourself and all the problems you have overcome over the years, I really wanna be like that someday but maybe in a different profession. Also the fact that you were already married and had a kid when it happened. I always thought I had to find a job and stable income before getting married and after marriage that'd be it, same job for the rest of my life, won't have the time to start or risk starting something new. But I'm not so sure anymore, feels like there's more time now to get my life together.

[@alecwoodard9464]

Thanks for the tips Muk! I’ve been thinking about starting content creation for a while, and your professional demeanor and confidence are inspiring.

[@edithchiani1262]

Awww I'm happy for you muk! I so glad I came across your channel. iv been lurking for about a month now when I started gw2. I need some guides to help my gameplay and I found your guide and haven't left ever since. Now I lurk on your streams as well. If you remember me from your streams iM the SHINY girl lol. Anyway, thank you for all the effort that you put in on all platforms, and with that stay healthy, stay happy and good day to you my good muk!

[@AshalsDream]

I love your content so much Muk, you're the inspiration as to why I started streaming & to see your progress and journey with your content creation is really inspiring! Keep up the amazing work

[@DezzieYT]

As someone who works in the music industry the advice about changing your "on stream" persona was great advice. I've seen musicians who are crazy energetic on stage or around fans and will go back to being their usual introverted self off.

[@SteveMillerTalks]

Great advice that applies to anyone who's looking to get into performance and/or creative activities on a serious/professional level!

[@roboblade6046]

You're honestly one of the biggest reasons I still play GW2

[@novusnocturnm]

Love the highschool report style video. XD bet you’d get an A+ for sure. I’ve been debating doing fractal guides and a little bit of play throughs. Thanks to you and WP I’ve been getting more confident about my corse of action!

[@MrRikunaru]

Love the whole video! I dipped into streaming myself (and failed) and there is so much honest truth in here its uplifting and brutal at the same time so just how good advice should be! Keep up the good work and may the growth continue! =D Also - Wow! Can't really point out why but if you asked me I wouldve bet I started following you like 5-6 years ago. Learning just now that you havent even been streaming for that long.. time is a weird thing.

[@ChicknPoo]

We're glad that you've taken this up Muk, honestly you have a wholesome community, you're incredibly helpful and funny. Sorry that I've not been on recently (poor health and timezone) but you're great and your guides have helped me a lot. Keep it up Muk! ^‿‿^

[@Keeperoffyre]

some great advice in this video! will need to remember to keep them in mind for the future :D

[@mittensfastpaw]

A friend directed me to you on KZbin and it was nice. I then stopped by Twitch and you interacted with me. That sold me because most streamers I started to watch got extreme clique followers and are very rude to anyone not in it. You were nice and now I try to stop by.

[@piki_op]

[@Alliter-vk4tg]

How did you look like 22 just 3 years ago! I'm so happy you are having fun with streaming, because I enjoy it too

[@KeyonThomas]

As someone who teaches people how to be a content creator, this is the most honest down to earth guide I have ever seen by a content creator. Thank you for your transparency and insights.

[@MuklukYoutube]

You're very welcome, I'm glad it was well received!

[@R.senals_Arsenal]

You know looking at this again, after a year of streaming to almost nobody (w/a few exceptions of more than 5 people) I think I'm ready to be 95+% PG. I can't promise anyone I won't slip up, but I've worked on it. It's hard cause sometimes it's so natural I don't even know I've sworn until later. Thank you for this touchstone to go back to, to compare what I've tried and what I haven't. I'm not gonna make a "Why you should play GW2 in 2023, but I have an inkling of an idea for something I can make RSENAL-esque I can do that's both clickbaity, self-promotional, and GW2 promotional all at once, it's just gonna take awhile to get it together. Thank you again for being awesome and being my Obi-Wan.

[@two-tonedbandit9348]

[@danieloliva6805]

thx muk! this video was really good for me! everyday we learn something! and thanks again for your knowledge. i will keep tips on my mind, to be a better streamer! and to affort my life doing something that i really like.

[@killerkram1337]

I wanted to do this until I found out how much work it was. I thought it would be easy to sit and play video games all day but yeah like you said the work days are long and taking breaks is dangerous as you could lose people. I already work a ton at my normal engineering job at 50 to 70 hours a week depending on what's going on and I do enjoy most of what I do, but I have always liked playing video games in my free time and making money doing it would be cool. I also used to make videos about video games on youtube when the platform was really new but never really stuck with it as I focused on school and work more. Right now I make plenty of money so if I switch to content creation I would probably make less money with a job that is less secure so yeah... unfortunately its probably not going to happen for me anymore. Good on you for being successful at this and being happy. A lot of people are not happy with what they do and I urge people to look for something they enjoy. Not every day will be fun but as long as people genuinely enjoy their work then the bad days are not quite as bad and the good days are awesome!

[@datmanbrooksiehd875]

Yep, you are the reason I am playing GW2 religiously again

Helping out with the algorithm :)

[@ChillKaijuClan]

Thanks, Muk. Gleam didn't seem to do much for more me, as once I disqualified the obvious bargain hunters, there was no one left. Might be some more potential there, haven't quite cracked it. I put off streaming to focus on making the best videos possible, but now I see how having those consistent broadcasts with a specific schedule to point to could make those calls to action so much more powerful.

[@MuklukYoutube]

It also helped that part of my gleam giveaway was retweeting a tweet that advertised "why play this game" and that got more people into the game that needed my guides etc etc snowball. But yeah I definately gave a few prizes out to people I never saw again, it happens.

[@seelenspielt9692]

Hey muk, you are a streamer with potential to become very big, especially now that you also do more variety

[@Seezonn]

Congratulations on an amazing run. You truly deserve the success you've experienced and I hope it's only the beginning of where you'll end up.

[@abettlukban5600]

I have been watching your stream for a month before even playing the game. Sup Muk!

[@Seluecus1]

Muk, i just love the fact that you wait until the end of your video to suggest a Like and Sub, unlike most people who shove that in people's faces at the very beginning of the video.

[@MuklukYoutube]

I mean, I watch videos too and I try not to do what bugs me lol
