It’s happened, either to you or you’ve seen it happen to someone else.
A person, company or random undisclosed entity would very much like to pay you to leverage your social media following and promo whatever it is they want to promo — a party or event, content, a new platform, boner pills (well… maybe not boner pills in this decade). You get the idea… Anything!
And it sounds like a cool idea, except for the grind back and forth of the specifics (what to say, when, how many tweets and so on), as well as the age old question: Am I actually going to get paid by this person?
Shoutout Express helps take the guesswork out of this process by formalizing the request and payment, and now they have a referral program! Read on to learn more — literally cannot hurt!

Shoutout Express, a company that “brings advertisers together with influencers,” has announced a new referral program. The platform is offering a 5% payout to affiliates who refer new content creators to the platform. In its announcement, the company said that when influencers “arrange for other content creators to sign-up to Shoutout Express using their unique referral code, they will be entitled to 5% of the new user’s total sales.”
Founded by adult performer and content creator Sophie Dee and her business partner Tyler Thompson, the company “provides marketing solutions for those looking to tap into the following that many influencers have built.”
“Tyler and I created this site because, for me, buying and selling shoutouts was such a difficult endeavor,” Dee said.
She added that, “The process meant keeping track of the direct messages and prolonged negotiations with potential buyers on pricing, insights, proof of completion, etc. I didn’t have time for it, nor did I like getting screwed when I bought from someone and received poor results. Shoutout Express alleviates all of those issues, providing content creators more time to focus on other things as well as just some peace of mind.”
In its announcement, Shoutout Express said that buying shoutouts “is the most effective means of promoting a brand and premium channels.”
“From recognizable content creators with millions of followers to micro-influencers who have strong connections with their audiences, Shoutout Express presents a myriad of options to advertisers looking to generate brand awareness,” the company added.
Shoutout Express also said that while the platform is a “dynamic resource for advertisers,” for influencers the site is “rapidly becoming a vital tool for maximizing an additional revenue stream.”
“As the market for social proofing continues to thrive, Shoutout Express aids influencers by providing a platform that makes them accessible to a network used by thousands of advertisers,” Shoutout Express said in its announcement, noting that the company “also creates marketing materials, aids in establishing the most effective pricing, and produces promotions.”
Influencers already using Shoutout Express include models, actresses, adult performers, YouTubers, podcasters, fitness enthusiasts and more. The company added that advertisers can purchase spots for “virtually all major social media platforms, including Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and even Only Fans.”
