Shoutt is all about quality over quantity—we vet every freelancer to ensure that we only send skilled, professional talent to the original source, rather than a flood of unqualified applicants. 

Your profile is also publicly listed on our talent network, so prospective clients can find and contact you directly without needing to sign up. It’s also used internally to match you with the most relevant gigs.

Note that Premium subscribers can access up to 65% of opportunities without needing a verified profile. Learn more about our access tiers.

Getting verified is quick and easy. All you need to do is:

• Create a high-quality profile that has not been rushed (allow around 10-15 mins, best done on your computer)

• Avoid spelling errors and other sloppy mistakes, we're looking for attention to detail

• Upload 5-10 work good quality examples that showcase your skills and experience (or at least one document for non-creative fields)

• Convey professionalism and expertise

• Demonstrate at least 3+ years of verifiable experience in your domain (we will look at your LinkedIn etc)

If you've got the idea of what we mean, feel free to skip ahead! But for those craving more details, keep scrolling down.

Aim for brevity and clarity, utilising the 60 characters wisely. If you have a specialism, be sure to factor that in. Consider these examples for inspiration:

• Middle Aged British Female Content Creator

• All Round Creative for eCommerce Brands

• Experienced Medical Content Writer

• Lifestyle and Beauty Content Creator

• Frontend Web Developer - React and Vue

While broad titles like "Video Editor" also work, adding a couple of distinctive words can set you apart.

We look for clear, concise and well-written bios that provide insights into your skills, experience, and expertise. Feel free to share some of your personality and background too!

• Avoid writing in third person, write as yourself talking to the potential client

• Do not include any external links, add these to the Links section instead

• Do not include your email address or phone number

• Avoid excessive use of emojis

• Mention some of the awesome projects / clients you've worked on

• All images must be crisp and clear

• Avoid excessively long aspect ratios

• Videos should not include any nudity, profanities or potentially harmful content

• Although the minimum requirement is 5 work examples, we recommend adding 10+ to our moderators a better insight into your capabilities and style

• Documents must be well presented in PDF format

You can freely link to your third-party profiles (e.g. LinkedIn, portfolio websites, Instagram, etc).

Adding these in will add the logos of the brands that you mention to your profile.
