Shoutout

Hey Product Hunters 👋 I'm Vaibhav, the creator of Shoutout. I'm super excited (and honestly, a bit jittery!) to introduce Shoutout to you all today—after months of caffeine-fuelled nights and brainstorming sessions, it feels great to finally hit "launch." The idea for Shoutout grew from a simple frustration: After launching my previous startup, we saw an immediate influx of users because it solved a significant pain point. However, our free-to-paid conversion rate was consistently under 5%. This got me thinking: how can we get more value from our customers? So, I decided to incentivize them to post about my product on LinkedIn by offering a free subscription for 15 days. Building this incentivization platform internally was quite a task, and that’s when I decided to turn it into a product itself. And hence, Shoutout was born. Shoutout does exactly that: 🎉 Customers engage by writing reviews, creating user generated content, pulling in new users. 🎉 Customers get motivated to take certain actions like - Book demo’s, upvote your product, fill form responses, engage with your team. 🎁 In return, they get free subscriptions, extended trials, exclusive discounts, or even cash credits. 🚀 It's a win-win: users get more from products they love, and businesses achieve more acquisition & engagement from customers. The best part, this all happens on auto-pilot. Why I believe Shoutout outshines traditional marketing: → Authentic voices resonate louder than polished ads. → Itʼs cost-effective—spend less while gaining more. Engagement boosts community spirit and brand loyalty. Iʼm hopeful that Shoutout will help businesses redefine growth and forge stronger connections with their customers. I will be here all day to answer any questions and soak up all the feedback you've got. If you want to take a quick walkthrough, I’d love to give you a demo. Can't wait to see how you grow with Shoutout!📣

Great job on the launch, Vaibhav! Could you share more about how you track and analyze the effectiveness of the incentives offered through Shoutout?

Imo this is by far the fastest way to ship payment offers for SaaS. 🚀🚀🎉

I love the idea of rewarding users for sharing their experiences. It's a smart way to boost engagement and grow your customer base. Excited to see how this helps businesses grow!

Congrats on the launch! Through my experiences working in multiple startups, I feel the pain of low conversion rates from free to paid plans. Incentives are definitely needed and businesses need an easy way to hand out and collect profits from those as well. Really hope this can help smaller businesses to maximize their marketing campaigns!

Hey Vaibhav, Congrats on the launch! Shoutout sounds like a fantastic way to drive engagement and growth. How do you see Shoutout evolving in the next year?
