You set up Personalized Shoutouts on your FanBell link in bio by enabling the offer, choosing a price, setting a delivery window of no more than 120 hours, adding instructions for the fan, and connecting Stripe for payouts. Review the fan-facing page, publish it, then share the same FanBell link in your bio.

How do Personalized Shoutouts work on your FanBell page?
Personalized Shoutouts is an offer on your own FanBell link-in-bio page, not a listing on a celebrity marketplace. New creator accounts have the offer turned on by default with a starter price, and creators do not need to apply, meet a follower minimum, or join an approval queue (how FanBell works, verified August 2026).
Because the offer belongs to your page, fans use your link to submit and pay for requests rather than searching for you in a talent directory. You manage the offer through your Personalized Shoutouts settings.
How do you create a FanBell link for shoutouts?
Creating a FanBell page is free, requires no credit card to start, and has no monthly fee (FanBell pricing, verified August 2026). The page gives you one link for your paid offers, including Personalized Shoutouts, which you can place in a social bio, pinned comment, or video description.
FanBell does not need to read or connect to your TikTok, Instagram, or other social-media DMs. Instead, you direct fans to the page, where they can review the offer, provide the requested information, and pay.
After creating your account, open the FanBell dashboard and select Personalized Shoutouts to review the offer’s settings.
How do you turn on Personalized Shoutouts and set the price?
Follow this dashboard path:
Dashboard → Personalized Shoutouts → Offer status and price
Confirm that the offer-status toggle is on, enter the amount a fan will pay for one video in the Price field, and save or publish the updated settings. Personalized Shoutouts is on by default for new creator accounts, but you should still verify its status and starter price before sharing your page (how FanBell works, verified August 2026).
You can change the price later. For guidance on choosing a starting amount, creating tiers, or raising your price, read how much to charge for a shoutout.
FanBell charges a 12% platform fee only when a fan pays; an unused offer has no platform charge (FanBell pricing, verified August 2026). For example, on a $100 sale, FanBell’s 12% fee is $12. Using Stripe’s standard US online-card rate of 2.9% plus $0.30, Stripe’s fee would be $3.20, leaving $84.80 after those two fees (Stripe pricing, verified August 2026).
How do you set the shoutout delivery window?
In Dashboard → Personalized Shoutouts, enter your promised turnaround in the Delivery window field. FanBell allows a maximum delivery window of 120 hours, or 5 days, for Personalized Shoutouts (how FanBell works, verified August 2026).
Choose a window you can meet during a normal week, not only when your schedule is clear. A shorter turnaround can feel more valuable to a fan, but it should still give you enough time to review the request, record the video, and deliver it.
For help choosing a turnaround within the 120-hour limit, see how fast to deliver personalized videos.
What should you request in the fan instructions?
Use the Instructions field in Dashboard → Personalized Shoutouts to tell fans exactly what information to provide before paying. At minimum, ask for:
- The recipient’s name and pronunciation
- The occasion or reason for the shoutout
- The requested message or tone
- One or two personal details that make the video specific
- Any words, topics, or claims the creator should avoid
Clear instructions reduce follow-up messages and make it easier to record a genuinely personalized video. The required setup information for the offer includes its price, delivery window, request instructions, and connected Stripe payout account (how FanBell works, verified August 2026).
For field templates and request-screening language, read how to write instructions for shoutout requests.
How do you connect Stripe and receive payouts?
Open the payment or payout section of your FanBell dashboard, choose the Stripe connection option, and complete Stripe’s onboarding. FanBell uses Stripe for payment processing and creator payouts, so Stripe onboarding must be completed before funds can be paid to your connected bank account (how FanBell works, verified August 2026).
Connecting Stripe and turning on the offer do not create a FanBell monthly fee. FanBell charges its 12% platform fee only after a fan completes a paid transaction (FanBell pricing, verified August 2026). Stripe separately charges its payment-processing fee; its published standard US online-card price is 2.9% plus $0.30 per successful charge (Stripe pricing, verified August 2026).
Stripe’s onboarding determines the identity, banking, and account information it needs before enabling payouts. Complete this step before announcing your shoutouts so your payout account is ready when the first fan pays.
How do you review and publish the offer?
Open your public FanBell link as a fan would and complete a final visual check before sharing it. Confirm that the offer is enabled and that the displayed price, delivery promise, and instructions match what you entered in the dashboard.
| Setting | What to verify before launch |
|---|---|
| Offer status | Personalized Shoutouts is turned on and visible |
| Price | The displayed amount is what one fan pays for one shoutout |
| Delivery window | The turnaround is achievable and no more than 120 hours |
| Instructions | Fans are asked for the name, occasion, message, and useful personal details |
| Revision count | The number of included redo rounds, if any, is clear |
| Decline and refund | You understand how to decline and refund an unsuitable request |
| Stripe | Onboarding is complete and the payout account is connected |
| Public page | The fan-facing offer displays the saved settings correctly |
Once everything is correct, publish the offer and place your FanBell link where your audience already looks for it, such as your bio, pinned comment, or video description. A simple announcement is enough: “You can now get a personalized video from me—link in bio.”
Frequently asked questions
Do you need a certain number of followers to offer shoutouts?

How much should you charge for a shoutout?
You can choose a starting price and change it later.

What happens if you cannot meet the delivery window?
FanBell caps the Personalized Shoutouts delivery window at 120 hours, or 5 days (how FanBell works, verified August 2026). If you cannot fulfill a request—or do not want to accept its content—you can decline and refund it rather than leave the order unresolved. See how to handle refunds for personalized creator services.
Do you need a business bank account to receive payouts?
No separate FanBell business-account requirement applies; you connect a personal or business Stripe account, and Stripe determines the information needed to activate payouts during its onboarding process (how FanBell works, verified August 2026). Complete that onboarding before promoting your offer.
How can you start accepting shoutout requests?
Setting up Personalized Shoutouts doesn't require an application, a follower count, or a marketplace to list you — it requires a price, a delivery window under 120 hours, and a Stripe account. Create your free FanBell link and turn the offer on to start taking shoutout requests on your own page today.
