Canadian grinder streams 1,000 hours on Twitch in the span of 125 consecutive days
It looks like streaming can really be a regular job, as Arlie Shaban "worked" 8 hours a day on average.
The name Arlie Shaban might not ring a bell for many fans, but he proves that he's a true grinder in both fields - poker and streaming. Starting on November 6, 2017, Arlie didn't skip a day until now.
Shaban's original plan was to stream 50 days straight with an 8-hour average. He even reached out to the Guinness Book of World Records, to find out if his performance would register as a recognized feat, but it was denied. However, this didn't stop him and he kept on grinding. By day 62 he had reached the 500-hour milestone when he realized that he should change his original plan of streaming 100 days straight.
"I was aiming for 100 days at that point but thought that’s only 800 hours and 1,000 hours is so close," he said. "I used 100 days as a decoy and didn’t tell anyone my true intentions until the end of day 100. One thousand hours in 125 days adds up to a perfect eight hours per day. I really enjoy numbers and statistics, and when I saw all the stats align like that I just set the goal and went after it." - he added.
He was able to capitalize on his quest, as he acquired a sponsorship after streaming Power Up so often. In January he became a brand ambassador for PokerStars. In addition to this, he won $10,000 during the process and gained almost 7,000 new subscribers - or in other words, 50 times as many as he had before the start of the journey.
The big day came on March 10th, when he reached the goal he had set countless (or not so countless) hours earlier. Arlie gave some tips for those who struggle with grinding on his Twitter page:
Well done, sir.
