Hire YouTube Creators for Bulk Shoutout Campaigns

When you create a campaign on CollabPals, you set a budget and describe your brand and target audience. Our team matches your campaign with the most relevant creators in your chosen niche. You do not pick individual creators — instead, our platform handles matching, delivery, and quality review. Each completed shoutout is verified before payment is released from escrow.

A YouTube shoutout is a direct mention of your brand by a creator within their YouTube video or video description. Unlike banner ads that viewers skip, a creator shoutout reaches a highly engaged, loyal audience that trusts the creator's recommendations. CollabPals connects your brand with verified YouTube creators in your target niche for bulk shoutout campaigns.

On CollabPals, campaigns start at just $50. Individual shoutout costs depend on creator tier: Nano creators cost $1.50 per shoutout, Micro $4.00, Rising $10.00, and Established $20.00. There are no agency fees, monthly fees, or contracts — you only pay for delivered, verified shoutouts.

CollabPals offers creators across 20 categories including Gaming, Entertainment, Education, Lifestyle, and more. Creators range from Nano (100–500 subscribers) to Established (10K+ subscribers). Each creator has their YouTube channel verified through Google OAuth.

Yes. When creating your campaign, you describe your ideal audience using keywords. Our team uses these keywords along with the creator categories and sub-niches to match your campaign with the most relevant creators. You can also select specific creator tiers based on subscriber count.

Every creator on CollabPals has their YouTube channel connected via Google's official OAuth. We verify their subscriber count and content history. Creators with approved Media Kits have undergone additional review. Every completed shoutout is also manually reviewed by our team before payment is released.

Most campaigns begin receiving creator submissions within 24–48 hours of launch. Total campaign delivery time depends on the number of shoutouts ordered and creator availability in your niche. Our team actively manages deliveries to keep campaigns on schedule.

If a creator accepts a campaign task but fails to deliver within the assigned window, they are not paid and the task is reassigned to another creator in the same tier. Your campaign budget is protected by escrow — you only pay for shoutouts that are delivered and verified by our team.

The number of creators depends on your budget and the tier you select. A minimum campaign of $50 targeting Nano creators ($1.50 each) would include approximately 33 creator shoutouts. Larger budgets reach more creators simultaneously. Many brands run campaigns targeting 10–50 creators across a niche for maximum reach at a fraction of influencer agency costs.

CollabPals works best for brands with a clear, easy-to-explain value proposition. Products and services that perform well include: mobile apps and games (especially in gaming and tech niches), eCommerce products (health, beauty, fitness gear), SaaS and online tools, educational resources and online courses, and food and beverage brands. Offers with a free trial, discount code, or simple call to action tend to convert especially well from creator shoutouts.

Our moderation team reviews every shoutout submission on your behalf — you do not need to approve each one individually. Reviewers verify that the creator's video or description exists, the shoutout mentions your brand correctly, and the content meets our quality standards. Payment is only released after this review passes. If a shoutout does not meet our standards, it is rejected and the creator is not paid.

No long-term contract is required. You fund a campaign with a minimum budget of $50 — creators draw from that budget as they complete verified shoutouts. There are no monthly subscription fees, no platform fees beyond the campaign budget, and no contracts to sign. You can run a single campaign and stop there, or run multiple campaigns simultaneously.

Yes — CollabPals is a self-serve platform built specifically so brands can hire YouTube creators without going through an agency. You create a campaign, set a budget, and describe your brand. Our platform handles creator matching, outreach, delivery management, and quality review. There are no agency fees, no sales calls, and no contracts. You get direct access to a verified network of 20 niche categories and pay only for completed, verified shoutouts.
