Video summary
The video introduces Fandance, a new platform designed to help content creators monetize their fanbase by offering live, one-on-one conversations. The host demonstrates the service in real-time with a fan named Fabian, showing how a two-minute call is recorded and subsequently reviewed by the creator before being released as a video file. This process allows fans to ask questions about the creator's life or career, such as verifying the authenticity of various nicknames like "George Sempai" or "Obi-Wan George Kenobi," which were explained as titles given by the community over the last decade. The interaction highlights a direct and personal way for creators to engage with their audience, turning brief calls into shareable content that fans can post on their own social media to celebrate their connection with their favorite YouTuber.
To utilize this feature, creators must sign up on the Fandance website or mobile app, where they set their own availability and pricing for these two-minute slots. The host walks through the setup process, showing how easily one can schedule thirty minutes of availability and choose a specific price point per call, with an example rate of $4.99 being selected for demonstration. Once approved by the platform, creators receive unique links to share with their audience, allowing fans to book time directly via email, WhatsApp, or web browsers. The system automatically handles payments, ensuring that the transaction is seamless for both the creator and the fan, while giving the creator full control over whether to approve or reject the final recording based on its content.
The financial benefits of using Fandance are presented as a significant advantage over other similar services, with the platform paying creators 70% of the revenue generated from each booking. Additionally, the video explains a referral program that rewards creators for inviting others to join the platform; referrers earn 3% of the cut taken by Fandance itself without taking any money away from the creators they refer. This structure is designed to incentivize community growth and spread awareness while ensuring that creators keep the majority of the earnings. The host encourages viewers to try the service using a provided referral code, emphasizing that it is a new idea aimed at fostering deeper relationships between creators and their supporters.
The video concludes with a call to action for viewers to join the broader "Freedom Family" community by clicking links in the description to access perks like Epidemic Sound, royalty-free music, and sponsorship opportunities. The host reiterates the various nicknames given to him by the audience and invites everyone to participate in the growing ecosystem through forums, Discord servers, and other collaborative spaces. By promoting these resources and the upcoming projects for Heartbeat, the video positions Fandance not just as a monetization tool, but as an integral part of a larger network dedicated to helping creators grow together as a supportive family unit.

>> Yes, you are live.
>> Wait, George, I am live? Am I part of
one of your video?
>> Oh my god.

>> So, when this 2 minutes ends, I will see
the recording, and then I can approve
it. And if I do, Fabian will get that
video as, you know, the 2-minute
conversation with his favorite YouTuber,
George. So, Fabian, you're You can ask
me anything. What would you like to know
about George and the George Show?
>> George,
are all your nicknames true? Like you
always say all of your nicknames at the
end of the video. Are they all true?
>> Oh, you mean like George Sempai and
Obi-Wan George Kenobi and Papa George?
>> Yes.
>> Yes, every name was given to me by
someone in the YouTube comments
uh
at some point in the last 10 years.
>> Cool.
>> So, am I going to be in your video right
now?
>> So, I will, with your permission,
Fabian, add you to this video so
everyone can see how Fandance works.
>> That's so cool.
>> Is that okay, Fabian?
>> All good for me. I have I have no more
question. Thank you, George.
Great to see you.
>> All you have to do is go to the website,
sign up, and then you'll be approved to
create videos, not videos, conversations
with your fans.
They can schedule any time you pick, and
I will now show you my own account and
you can sign up using my referral code
down there in the description below if
you want to try it out. Let's give it a
shot. So, this is the website behind me,
fan.dance. Link is down there in the
description below. So, you can clearly
see, 2 minutes, your rate, you set the
payment and paid automatically.
So, let's apply.
Here we go.
You do have to download the app. It is a
mobile app. And then once you download
it, you can sign up and I've already
signed up, so let me show it to you on
my mobile phone. All right. So, when I
applied, I needed to get my application
reviewed, which it has been now. So, I'm
going to click check my status and now
I've been approved.
So,
if I want to schedule a time for my
fans, like you guys, to talk to me live
one-on-one for 2 minutes, I simply click
add availability
and then I can choose [music]
how long I want to make myself
available. Let's say 30 minutes
and I want I can choose my price. How
much people have to pay to talk to me
for for 2 minutes. So, these are all the
options, but I'm just going to choose
the cheapest one,
$4.99. All right, there you go.
And now I have set my price and I'm
going to publish my availability.
So, I have my first booking. It's right
here. You can see Fabian booked me for 2
minutes on my fan.dance.
>> [music]
>> Now, you get a link which you can share
with your fans so that they can also
book uh with you and here it is. This is
how it looks. So, when you create your
own
uh booking, you will get a link that
will look like this when someone opens
it in their web browser, in their email,
in their WhatsApp. And I encourage you
to try it, guys. This is a new idea.
This is how you can engage with your
fans, let them speak to you live
one-on-one, [music] and when they when
the 2 minutes is done, it will record
that video. You as the creator get to
approve it, just in case there was
anything offensive in the video you
don't want public, but if you approve
it, then the fan gets that video. He
gets the 2 minutes
sent as the the live recording, so they
can post it on their social media to
say, "Hey, I just spoke to my
favorite YouTuber for 2 minutes. It's
live. Here it is." And they can show it
to their friends and family, and
everyone can be, you know,
impressed with with that conversation.
And you get 70% of this amount, guys.
Fancance pays you 70% of the money that
your fans pay to
book your 2 minutes, which is a very
high rate compared to other platforms
that offer similar services. You just
get more in your pocket. And they also
have a referral fee where if you refer
people using the code, like the code
down there in the description below that
I'm referring you with,
you receive 3% from Fancance's cut. You
take nothing away from the creators that
you're referring to or you're referring
to Fancance.
Uh Fancance will pay you 3% of their cut
uh
as a thank you for spreading the love.
