How to make a shoutout on Instagram (and buy/sell it on Revenzer)
Hi, and welcome to Revenzer. In today’s article, I am going to show you how to do a Shout Out on Instagram.
You can sell and buy Instagram shoutouts on the Revenzer marketplace. Many brands are requesting shoutouts on Revenzer. Why? Shout-outs are easy to produce, fast and effective. Also, before hiring influencers for a full-scale campaign, many companies prefer to try the influencers with shoutouts and hire the best ones in a second phase. A full-scale campaign often requires sending physical items to tens or hundreds of influencers. Companies prefer to do the first selection with shoutouts, they do not require anything but a simple text and a hashtag usually.
Shoutout, what does it mean?
What is an Instagram shoutout? What is the meaning of “shout out”?
Before showing you an example in an Instagram story, please allow me to give you the definition. Essentially we can define a shoutout as a public endorsement you can give to another user. Practically, companies pay influencers on Revenzer in order to post stories with a colorful background and their hashtag or at-mention.
Fortunately, there is a build-in function on Instagram to create and share shoutouts. So, let’s check it out!

Press on create, the Double-A-icon, it should be the first one.
Please keep in mind that Instagram can change or move these elements with the next updates.
Press on the colorful icon on the bottom to change the background. You have several backgrounds. As I said before, companies do that in order to select the influences with which collaborate for full-scale campaigns.
