This looks really cool. I spend a lot of time on YouTube and most of the more popular YouTubers eventually start selling t-shirts or some kind merchandise through sites like Shopify or CafePress. The "pay what you want" option and fan spending leaderboard are interesting features. But at the core, it still looks like another shop creator site. So what makes FanHero different? Is it purely a marketing play to appeal to sellers with a fanbase?
How does this differentiate from YouTubers selling their gear on existing online stores like bigcartel, cafepress, zazzle, etc? Not sure there's much you could offer on the basic premise of selling shirts with a logo on them.<p>Many youtubers also already have existing partnerships with brands that they hawk in the descriptions and by actually wearing them in the videos.
They might as well jump on Twitch.tv as well, it applies just as much there. Rabid Twitch fans will donate $100 to some streams just so the streamer mentions their name live. It makes me wonder how many of them are kids who took mommy's credit card.
