Buy YouTube shoutouts from verified creators
We match you with real creators in your niche whose audience fits your channel, and you get the link to every shoutout once it is live. Not a gig marketplace. Not a stranger with a dead channel.
Proof link every time Every creator verified Redelivered if it does not post
What Do You Get When You Buy a YouTube Shoutout?
Buying a YouTube shoutout on CollabPals means real creators, matched to your niche, publicly recommending your channel to their own subscribers on YouTube. You choose a budget and the size of creator audience you want to reach, write a short brief, and creators deliver the shoutouts. Every one is submitted with a link to the live post, comment or description, and our team checks it before the creator is paid. A shoutout that never goes live goes back into your campaign to be redelivered.

The Three Kinds of Shoutout We Deliver
Every package includes all three, because they reach different people and work best together.
Post Shoutout
The creator mentions your channel in a Post on YouTube. Posts surface in their subscribers' Home and Shorts feeds, which is why this is the type creators reach for when they want to be seen quickly.
Best for reaching subscribers fastVideo Comment Shoutout
The creator leaves a comment mentioning your channel on one of their own videos. The people who read comments are already engaged enough to scroll down, so the traffic tends to be more deliberate.
Best for engaged viewersVideo Description Shoutout
A link to your channel sits in the description of the creator's video. It stays there as long as the video does, so this one keeps working quietly long after the other two have finished.
Best for a slow, lasting dripBuild Your Shoutout Campaign
Set a budget, choose the size of creator you want, then pay. Creators start picking up your campaign straight after.

Why Not Just Buy a Shoutout on a Freelance Site?
You can, and plenty of people do. The difference is what happens when the seller does not deliver, and whether anyone checked their channel was real first.

How Ordering a Shoutout Works
Four steps, and you can watch each shoutout land in your dashboard as it goes live.
-
1
Set your budget and reach
Choose how much you want to spend and which size of creator audience you want to reach. The estimate updates as you change it, so you can see roughly how many shoutouts your budget buys.
-
2
Tell creators what to say
Write a short brief about your channel. This is the part that decides whether the recommendation sounds genuine, so it is worth a couple of honest sentences rather than marketing language.
-
3
Verified creators deliver
Creators matched to your niche post the shoutouts on YouTube and submit the live link for each one. Our team checks every link before that creator is paid.
-
4
Collect your proof links
Each completed shoutout shows up in your dashboard with a link you can open and read. Anything that never went live goes back into your campaign for another creator to pick up.
What a Shoutout Can and Cannot Do
A shoutout puts your channel in front of an audience that trusts the person recommending you. That is genuinely valuable, and it is the oldest way creators have grown each other since YouTube existed. What it cannot do is make people stay if there is nothing to stay for.
So we do not promise a number. Anyone selling you a guaranteed count of subscribers or views is either counting bots or hoping you will not check. What we can promise is the part we control: real creators, verified before they take your work, matched to your niche, with a link proving every shoutout went live.
The creators who get the most from this treat it as a way to reach the right audience rather than a growth button. If your channel is worth watching, a recommendation from someone that audience already trusts is one of the most efficient ways to be found. If you would rather test that without spending, you can earn a shoutout for free by giving one first.
Frequently Asked Questions About Buying YouTube Shoutouts
What buyers ask before their first campaign
How much does a YouTube shoutout cost?
You set your own budget rather than buying a fixed package, and it buys a batch of shoutouts rather than a single post. What each shoutout costs depends on the size of creator you pick: smaller channels cost less each, larger audiences cost more. The builder on this page shows the exact price per shoutout and roughly how many you will get before you pay, in your own currency. You are paying for the creators' work, not for any guaranteed number of subscribers or views.
How is this different from buying a shoutout on Fiverr?
On a freelance marketplace you are picking one seller and taking their word for their audience. Here we match you to creators in your niche, verify every channel before it can take work, and check that each shoutout is genuinely live before the job counts as complete. You get the link to every one.
Do I get proof that the shoutout went live?
Yes. Every completed shoutout is submitted with a link to the live post, comment or description, and our team checks it before the creator is paid. You can open the link and see the recommendation on YouTube yourself.
What happens if a creator does not deliver?
A shoutout that never goes live does not count. That part of your budget is not spent on it, and goes back into your campaign so another creator can pick it up instead. To be clear about what that means: the work gets redelivered rather than refunded to your card.
Is buying YouTube shoutouts safe for my channel?
Yes. A shoutout is one creator recommending another, which is normal on YouTube and does not break the Terms of Service. This is fundamentally different from buying subscribers, views or likes from bot services, which does break the rules and puts your channel at risk.
Which type of shoutout should I buy?
A Post Shoutout reaches a creator's subscribers through their Home and Shorts feeds and tends to be seen fastest. A Video Comment Shoutout reaches people engaged enough to read the comments. A Video Description Shoutout stays in place for the life of the video, so it keeps working long after the others.
Can I choose which creators promote my channel?
You choose the creator size band and the niche, and matching happens inside that. You are not handed a random list of channels: every creator who takes your campaign is verified and matched to the audience you asked for.
How long does a campaign take?
Creators pick up campaigns as they become available, so how quickly yours fills depends on how many creators are active in your niche at that moment. You can watch it happen in your dashboard, shoutout by shoutout, as each proof link is verified.
Do you guarantee subscribers or views?
No, and you should be wary of anyone who does. We deliver real recommendations from real creators to real audiences. What those audiences do next depends on your content, which is the part no promotion can do for you.
Can I get a shoutout without paying?
Yes. You can earn credits by giving shoutouts to other creators and spend those credits on one of your own, which costs nothing but your time. Buying is simply the faster route for creators who would rather not do the earning side first.
How many creators can promote my channel?
Over 331,782 creators have joined CollabPals and 38,026 shoutouts have been completed to date. How many take part in your campaign depends on your budget and the creator size band you choose.
Which payment methods can I use?
Card payments are handled through Stripe worldwide, with UPI and local methods available in India through Razorpay, and cryptocurrency accepted in some regions. Prices are shown in your local currency before you pay.
