It’s been a long time coming but finally you will be able to sell your merchandise directly to viewers from your YouTube channel.<\/span><\/h4>\n

At last week\u2019s VidCon\u00a0YouTube unveiled a bunch of new features<\/a>\u00a0that will create an enhanced experience for fans and creators on YouTube alike. One of the most exciting additions for many creators is a new shelf where they will be able to sell their merchandise rather than re-directing fans to an external site to nab a branded hat or wicked tote bag.<\/p>\n

Merchandise has been a part of many creators\u2019 businesses for a long time. YouTube want to make it easier for more creators to sell merch directly from their channel. So they have built a product that allows them to do just that. From shirts with a logo to phone cases with a creator\u2019s face, YouTube have joined forces with Teespring so creators can choose from over 20 merchandise items to customise and sell via a shelf on their channel.<\/p>\n

This will be available to all eligible U.S.-based channels with over 10,000 subscribers starting today, and they plan to bring even more merchandising partners and creators in soon.<\/p>\n

Just take a look at Joshua Slice\u2019s merch shelf. The creator of\u00a0Lucas the Spider<\/a> recently turned his hero character into a\u00a0plushie<\/a>\u00a0selling over 60,000 furry friends and generating over $1 million in profit in just 18 days, according to Teespring.<\/p>\n
