views
Bonuses count views from the first 14 days, across your accounts and ours. Likes need to be at least 3% of views (2% on Instagram), so bought views don't count. One tier per video, on top of base pay.
How bonuses are counted
- The like floor
- On TikTok, likes must reach 3% of that video's views; on Instagram, 2%. A TikTok at 50K views needs 1,500 likes; a Reel needs 1,000. Miss it and those views don't count toward a tier. Both floors sit under the platform averages, so a video people actually watched clears them.
- The 14 days window
- We read views and likes on day 14 and settle from those numbers. Anything after that doesn't count, even if the video takes off later.
- Which accounts count
- Your TikTok, your Instagram, and the official Tango accounts if we repost it, all added together. Each account has to clear its own like floor, measured over 14 days from when that post went up. A repost only ever adds.
- Tax and changes
- Paid as a 1099 contractor: a W-9 up front, a 1099 at year end. If we change these numbers, it only applies to videos made after the change.

Hiring 2 for Fall 2026
We review applications as they come in and close when the spots are filled.
Apply
Your handles, one sample video, and a pitch. Take your time with it. We read every answer.
A 15-minute call
If it is a fit, we reply within a week and talk rates and ideas.
Start filming
Sign a one-page agreement, get a demo account, post your first video.
The ground rules
- Tag every video as a paid ad
- Get a yes from everyone on camera first
- Never show other people's profiles (we give you a demo account)
- No bought views, and no underage drinking on camera
- Paid content stays off campus for now, with no A&M logos
- Paid within 15 days
- Paid even if we shelve it
- Your accounts stay yours
- Quit with 2 weeks' notice
Full terms
- Label every paid video as an ad
- Use the platform tool, TikTok Branded Content or Instagram Paid Partnership, and put a visible disclosure where people actually see it rather than buried after six hashtags. This is an FTC requirement and it lands on us as much as on you. We will check, and we will ask you to fix anything that slips.
- Film your real nights out
- A real plan with your partner, a real group night with your friends, a real date you actually went on: that is the most convincing content there is. Everyone on camera needs to have agreed beforehand, know it is paid content going out publicly, and be free to change their mind before it posts. If you go on a real Tango date, ask the other person well before you meet, not with a camera already up.
- Never show another person's profile on screen
- Your own profile and your own screens are fine. Anyone else appearing in a screen recording is not: the discover deck, a match list, a face you scrolled past. Those are real people who joined a dating app, not an ad campaign. We give you a demo account with invented profiles for anything that needs the app on screen.
- Being filmed is not the same as being outed
- Somebody can be happy on camera and still not want the internet to know they use a dating app. Say plainly that it is a Tango video going on a public account, and take no for an answer. Never film a minor, which matters on a campus full of first-years who are still 17.
- Keep it something we would both defend
- No ambush pranks or content that makes somebody the butt of a joke they did not agree to. No illegal activity, and no visible underage drinking. Do not name competitors to knock them, and never suggest Tango guarantees anyone a relationship.
- Do not buy views, likes or followers
- The like floor on the bonus tiers is there to catch it. Buying engagement forfeits the bonus and ends the arrangement.
- Filming on campus has its own rules
- Texas A&M requires permission for commercial filming on its property and for using its marks in content made for profit. We are handling that with the university. Until it is sorted, keep paid content to public and off-campus spots and leave A&M logos and marks out of it.
- Paid on a schedule
- Base within 15 days of a video posting, and bonuses within 15 days of the 14 days window closing.
- Paid even if we do not use it
- Make a video to the brief and we decide to shelve it, you still get the base rate.
- Only the work we paid for
- The videos you make for the program are ours to keep, repost and advertise with, on Tango channels and in paid ads, with no time limit. Nothing you made before the program is included, and we credit you every time we repost.
- Your accounts stay yours
- You post on your own profiles and you keep them, the audience, and every video on them.
- A clean exit
- Either of us can stop with 2 weeks' notice, and any bonus still inside its window is settled anyway.
- Your own hours
- You are a contractor, not an employee. You choose when you film, what you make, and what you say.
All of this goes into a one-page agreement you sign before your first video.
