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!📣

Congrats on the launch, Vaibhav! 🎉 Shoutout addresses a real pain point in converting free users to paid customers by leveraging authentic user-generated content. The automatic incentivization for actions like booking demos and engaging with the team is brilliant. The win-win model of rewarding customers while boosting business engagement is innovative. Can't wait to see Shoutout help businesses grow! 🚀

💎 Pixel perfection

Is this another AWS story? We'll find out! It's so cool to see a tool born from a company solving their own internal issues (and finding so much more PMF because it's a widely recognized problems for so many). I love how simple it is (MVP built in 2hrs?!). It also makes a lot of sense to build this into the user journey. I have a feeling lots of companies will start adopting this. One suggestion, why not put Cohesive's story up front?! It's a fantastic brand name + it explains how Shoutout was born. It's such a great case study. Anyhow, congrats @vaibhav_sinha1 and team! Well deserved upvoted!

@tonyhanded Thanks for the kind words Tony. Once I solved the problem internally for our own use case, I talked to a few marketers and founders to validate the problem statement. Got to learn a lot from those conversations. The first version of the product, that I was planning to launch 2 weeks back did not have customer onboarding and engagement related incentives. While it was in the pipeline, the conversations with founders helped me understand how critical those are, and a lot of them got excited to hear that the feature is in the works. Hence I decided to postpone the launch and build those first. Great to see that more people are relating to those use cases :) I you would want to give the product a try, I'd be happy to work with your team and get it up and running. Let me know :) PS: Thanks for the feedback about the website. Will definitely incorporate it in the next release.

@thepmfguy Congratulations on the launch! Optimizing the sign-up to activation funnel is a challenge every startup faces, and I see that Shoutout is definitely addressing this need. 🙋🏻‍♂️ I have a question? Are you incentivising power users differently than new users? Power users are the best advocates for your product, and they can bring in high-intent users through word of mouth. Hence, treating them differently can help in driving better results for your product. Looking forward to seeing Shoutout's impact!

@prashaaantin1 Hey Prashant! Thanks for supporting us. With Shoutout, you have the functionality to set the audience whether you want a particular offer to be visible to them or not? In case of power users, you can specific offers that are exclusive for them. Would love to give you a quick walkthrough of the product and help you in setting it up if you need. 🤝

💡 Bright idea

Congratulations on the launch! Turning free users to paid is a real growth problem and I've not seen a solution like this before. I've been an early user of Shoutout and absolutely love using the product. It has a unique gamified way to place the right incentives at the right spots to not only spread awareness about your product but also increases the pace of converting active users to paid. Love it!

StreamAlive - Interactive PPT slides

💡 Bright idea

Hi Shout Out team! This looks super-interesting! We've been toying with the idea of introducing an Ambassador programme at streamalive.com to reward people if they talk about our product on social media or in their newsletter. This seems like a great way to manage that ambassador programme and track who's published content to earn a reward.

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!

@kehui_guo The way we have thought about Shoutout is to make sure that incentives are in control based on the revenue company generates. That's why if you notice we have rewards which connects product benefits to customer actions. That's how we make sure that marketers don't have to spend outside the ecosystem and can run campaigns by attaching product benefits!
