How to Sell a Personalized Shoutout
A shoutout is scarce the moment it's personalized for one person. Price it like it is.
How do I sell a personalized shoutout to a fan?
List the shoutout as an auction with a starting price โ not a flat rate โ so fans who want it most can bid above whatever number you'd have guessed. You record and deliver it to the winner through BIDLYY's private chat once the auction closes.
The problem
Flat-rate shoutout platforms set a single price for every request, so a fan willing to pay well above that number never gets the chance to, and you never find out they would have. You're also competing on price against every other creator on the same platform instead of your own audience's actual demand.
How BIDLYY solves it
BIDLYY's Personalized Shoutout template comes with a starting bid and duration already set โ publish it, share the link with your audience, and let fans bid each other up for the one slot. Record the shoutout once the auction ends and deliver it to the winner directly in your private chat โ no separate app, no per-platform commission beyond BIDLYY's own flat fee.
