How many “how much would you charge?” replies have you typed this month? With the price on your link, the follower who asked checks out as a guest and pays for the video before you've answered a single DM.

Brillay is a link in your bio where followers pay you directly for:

Personalized VideosPaid QuestionsCustom WorkGoalsTips

The Personalized Video does not need to exist before you publish the offer: set the price and delivery time, collect the follower’s instructions, and let them pay upfront before you press record.

No monthly fee, you only pay a small platform fee when you get paid.

You set up Personalized Videos on your Brillay link in bio by enabling the offer, choosing a price, setting a delivery window of no more than 120 hours, adding instructions for the follower, and connecting Stripe for payouts. Review the follower-facing page, publish it, then share the same Brillay link in your bio. Personalized Videos let a follower pay upfront for one personalized video for themselves or someone they care about: you set the price and the delivery time, then record it on your schedule.

How do Personalized Videos work on your Brillay page?

Personalized Videos is an offer on your own Brillay link-in-bio page. It is a one-time purchase for one custom video, not a membership or subscription. New creator accounts have the offer turned on by default with a starter price; there is no application, follower minimum, or approval queue (how Brillay works).

If you are still deciding whether personalized videos fit your audience, start with the full guide to selling personalized video messages as a small creator. This guide focuses on the settings and checks required to make the offer live.

The offer lives on your own page, where followers submit and pay for requests. You manage the offer through your Personalized Videos settings.

How do you create a Brillay link for Personalized Videos?

Creating a Brillay page is free and has no monthly fee (Brillay pricing). The page gives you one link for your paid offers, including Personalized Videos, which you can place in a social bio, pinned comment, or video description.

From there, you direct followers to the page, where they can review the offer, provide the requested information, and pay by card without creating a Brillay account.

After creating your account, open the Brillay dashboard and select Personalized Videos to review the offer’s settings.

How do you turn on Personalized Videos and set the price?

Open your Brillay dashboard, turn on the Personalized Videos offer, and set the price a follower pays for one video. Brillay lets you turn offers on or off from one page. For Personalized Videos, you set the price and delivery time; Tips and Goals work differently and do not have a delivery time.

In the Personalized Videos panel, review the offer, set the fixed price for one video, and choose your delivery time of up to 5 days. For new creator accounts, Personalized Videos starts with a $35 price and 72-hour delivery time, which you can change before promoting the link.

You can change the price later. For guidance on choosing a starting amount or raising your single-video price, read how much to charge for a shoutout.

Stripe’s processing fee is borne by the creator and deducted separately from Brillay’s platform fee; on a $100 shoutout, plan for roughly $88 after Brillay’s fee and Stripe’s separate processing fee. General Stripe pricing can help explain card-processing terms, but use the amounts shown inside Brillay when modeling your own offer.

Because followers pay upfront and you deliver later, set a price and delivery time you can realistically commit to.

How do you set the shoutout delivery time?

Set your promised delivery time from your Brillay dashboard when you configure the offer. Choose how long you need to record and deliver each Personalized Video, up to 5 days.

Choose a window you can meet during a normal week, not only when your schedule is clear. A shorter delivery time can feel more valuable to a follower, but it should still give you enough time to review the request, record the video, and deliver it.

Set the scope clearly: each Personalized Videos order is one delivered video. For help choosing a delivery time within the 5-day limit, see how fast to deliver personalized videos.

What should you request in the follower instructions?

Followers should include the recipient’s name and pronunciation, the occasion, the message or tone you should hit, one or two personal details, and anything to avoid. Brillay’s request form lets followers describe the Personalized Video before checkout, helping you avoid chasing basic details later. Followers pay upfront, and you deliver the video later.

At minimum, look for these details before accepting and recording the request:

  • 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 request details keep the scope to one custom video and make it easier to record a genuinely personalized result without chasing information elsewhere; the follower’s submitted details are the final brief for the video you deliver. Keep the request details inside Brillay so the agreed scope is written down: one custom video, delivered once.

Going live only requires a price, a delivery time of up to 5 days, and connected payouts. For examples of useful details to look for before recording, read how to write instructions for shoutout requests.

How do you connect Stripe and receive payouts?

Open the payout section of your Brillay dashboard, choose the Stripe connection option, and finish Stripe’s onboarding before you announce the offer. Connect payouts inside Brillay and complete Stripe’s identity checks before accepting paid Personalized Videos; eligible creators receive payouts to their connected bank account.

Connect your bank through Stripe, complete the required checks, and manage your money inside Brillay. If you read general Stripe Connect documentation about Express accounts, treat it as background rather than Brillay’s account model. Stripe’s verification requirements typically include information about the business and information about the person opening the account (Stripe identity verification documentation).

Timing matters more than most new shoutout sellers expect. For Personalized Videos, followers pay upfront and you deliver the video later. After delivery, eligible creators in 41 supported payout countries get paid through Brillay’s Stripe connection; general Stripe payouts documentation information is not a promise of a specific Brillay payout date, so do not promise followers a specific payout date.

Payout timing and available payout options depend on the creator’s country and account eligibility; check the payout details shown inside Brillay before promising when funds will reach your bank. General Stripe Instant Payouts documentation may describe options that are not available for every Brillay creator, so do not advertise instant funding to followers.

Connecting Stripe and turning on the offer do not add a monthly fee — Brillay only charges when a follower pays you.

How do you review and publish the offer?

Open your public Brillay link as a follower would and complete a final visual check before sharing it. Confirm six things: the offer is enabled, the price is right, the delivery time is up to 5 days, the fixed request form collects the essential details, payout onboarding is finished, and the public page matches the dashboard.

SettingWhat to verify before launch
Offer statusPersonalized Videos is turned on and visible
PriceThe displayed amount is what one follower pays for one shoutout
delivery timeThe delivery time is achievable and up to 5 days
Request detailsFollowers can describe the requested shoutout, including the name, occasion, message, and useful personal details
Decline before deliveryFollowers pay upfront; you can decline a request.
PayoutsYour bank connection is complete and payout details are visible inside Brillay
FeesYou know that Brillay charges 8% when a follower pays for Personalized Videos, 5% on tips and goals, and Stripe’s processing fee is separate
Public pageThe offer followers see displays the saved settings correctly

Once everything is correct, publish the offer and place your Brillay 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.” If asking followers to pay feels awkward, frame it as an optional request for people who already want a custom message; some followers may not buy, and that is fine.

Frequently asked questions

Do you need a certain number of followers to offer Personalized Videos?

No. Personalized Videos has no follower minimum, application, or marketplace approval; the offer is available on your own page and is on by default for new creator accounts.

How much should you charge for a shoutout?

You can choose a starting price and change it later. When you model take-home pay, subtract Brillay’s platform fee (8% for Personalized Videos, 5% on tips and goals) and Stripe’s separate processing fee from the amount the follower pays. See how much to charge for a Personalized Video for a complete pricing framework.

What happens if you cannot meet the delivery time?

You can set a Personalized Video delivery time of up to 5 days. If you cannot fulfill a request or do not want to accept it, decline it before delivery.

Do you need a business bank account to receive payouts?

No. Stripe handles identity verification during Brillay payout onboarding, and individual creators can connect an eligible bank account in one of Brillay’s 41 supported payout countries. Creators manage payouts inside Brillay rather than through a separate Stripe dashboard.

How long does it take to get paid for your first shoutout?

Do not promise instant access to funds: the timing for money to land in your bank depends on your country and account eligibility, so check the payout information available inside Brillay. Followers pay upfront, you deliver the video later, and Stripe pays you according to the timing shown inside Brillay.

How can you start accepting shoutout requests?

Set up Personalized Videos on your own page at any follower count: choose a fixed price for one video and a delivery time of up to 5 days, then connect payouts. Create your free Brillay link and turn the offer on to start taking shoutout requests on your own page today.
