The Shoutout App on UniLink lets you offer personalized video or audio shoutouts to your fans as a paid or free service.
What is the Shoutout App?
The Shoutout App enables creators, influencers, and public figures to accept shoutout requests from their audience and deliver custom recordings in return. Fans submit a request with a message explaining what they need, and you record a personal shoutout at your convenience. It is a popular way to monetize your personal brand while creating memorable moments for your community.
How to Enable the Shoutout App
- Log in to UniLink Dashboard
- Go to Apps
- Select Shoutout and click Enable
- Set your price, turnaround time, and any instructions for requesters
Features and Configuration

Best Practices
