How Marcel Found His Niche As A Creator

With nearly five million followers on YouTube today, you might think that Marcel started his career nearly a decade ago with a big plan. But the reality was much more natural.

“At the time, I was broke,” Marcel divulged. “I didn’t have a computer that could run PC games. So it was just me playing with whoever I could play with and just recording the genuine normal reactions that you would have every day.”

Marcel quickly gained followers — it took him about six months to hit 100,000 — because of his ultra-genuine approach. In particular, subscribers liked his early compilation clips, like the “Top 10 funniest moments of the day.”

“I’m a guy who just looks at any opportunity as an opportunity and just do it and take whatever comes and have a good time doing it,” said Marcel.
