The brief

We’re not buying clout. We’re paying for craft.

aura is a dating-intelligence app. Users upload a screenshot of a thread they’re stuck in; the app reads it, tells them where they stand, and writes the reply in their voice.

We’re launching it. We’d rather not run another flat ad in the algorithm. So we’re hiring a small batch of creators who already make real things on TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat — and giving you the exact brief, the exact shot list, and a reference reel to follow.

No pitch deck. No vibe document. Below this paragraph is every format we want, every line, every beat. Pick one, shoot it, post it, get paid.

How it works

Apply, film, post, paid. Four steps.

  1. Apply

    Send us the form.

    Five fields and a one-line pitch. We reply within twenty-four hours with a yes or a no — no slow ghosting, no pipeline.

  2. Pick & film

    Choose a format from the library.

    Each format card has a three-beat shot list, the exact lines, and a reference reel. Imitate the reference closely — we picked these because they work.

  3. Post

    TikTok. Instagram. Snapchat.

    Same video, three platforms, within the same week. Tag aura, include #ad, send us the three links. That's the whole delivery.

  4. Get paid

    $25 within seven days. $10 bonus at day fourteen if it pops.

    Base pays in seven days from the time all three posts are live. The bonus pays at day fourteen post-publish if combined views clear sixty thousand.

The library

Pick a format. Shoot the format.

We’d rather you imitate a reference reel that already works than invent something new on our brief. Each card is the shot list, the lines, and the reel.

You can rewrite the words. Don’t rewrite the beats.

  • Format 01

    POV

    POV: I just got the read I needed

    First-person reaction to seeing aura's read on a thread that had you spiralling.

    Shot list

    1. 0–2sPhone to camera, screen of a real-feeling text thread. Caption: "He hasn't replied in 3 days."
    2. 2–7sOpen aura, scroll the intel dashboard. Hold on the trend headline.
    3. 7–14sCut to face. Read aura's headline aloud. Beat. Tap a reply. Send.

    Lines to deliver

    • “He hasn't replied in three days. I was about to be normal about it.”
    • “[reads aura headline aloud]”
    • “Yeah. That tracks. Sending this.”

    Why it works · Specificity beats hype. The headline does the selling — viewers see exactly what the app gives them.

    BEFORE / AFTER

    What I would've sent vs. what aura wrote

    Side-by-side reveal: your draft (chaotic) and aura's draft (in your voice).

    Shot list

    1. 0–2sHand-held. Type a panicked draft on screen. Caption: "My version."
    2. 2–8sCut to aura's three replies. Pick one. Caption: "aura's version."
    3. 8–14sFace cam. One line of commentary. Send. End on the sent receipt.

    Lines to deliver

    • “This is what I would have sent. Genuinely.”
    • “This is what aura sent. In my voice.”
    • “I'm never typing one of these out again.”

    Why it works · The contrast does the work. The viewer mentally writes their own draft and feels the upgrade.

    VOICE TEST

    Pick a voice. Watch it sound like me

    Show the persona picker. Generate the same reply across two voices. Read both aloud.

    Shot list

    1. 0–3sOpen aura. Tap into a chatroom. Open the persona picker.
    2. 3–9sTap Wry. Generate. Read the line aloud. Tap Earnest. Generate. Read the line aloud.
    3. 9–14sFace cam. "That's actually how I talk." Send the one you'd send.

    Lines to deliver

    • “OK so it has voices. Let me try this.”
    • “[reads Wry version]. [reads Earnest version].”
    • “That second one. That's actually how I talk.”

    Why it works · Demonstrates the differentiator — voices, not generic AI replies — in under fifteen seconds.

    REVEAL

    Putting my situationship through aura

    Drop a screenshot. Let aura analyse. React to the trend headline + interest level.

    Shot list

    1. 0–3sPhone screen. "Let's see what aura thinks of this one." Drop screenshot.
    2. 3–9sHold on the loading state, then on the intel dashboard. Mouse-zoom on the headline.
    3. 9–14sFace cam. Read the headline aloud. "Yeah, I knew. I just needed someone to say it."

    Lines to deliver

    • “Putting this one through aura. Be honest with me.”
    • “[reads trend headline aloud]”
    • “I knew. I just needed someone to say it out loud.”

    Why it works · Names the emotional job: a friend who'll tell you the truth. The app is just the vehicle.

Timeline

  1. T+0dYou apply via the form below.
  2. ≤ 24hWe reply with a yes or a no. No slow ghosting.
  3. T+0–7dYou film and post on TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat. Send us all three links + the receipts.

  5. T+14dBonus $10 evaluates. Combined views ≥ 60,000 → it lands. Otherwise the base is it.

Note · You keep ownership of your video. By posting it, you grant aura a non-exclusive licence to repost it on our channels and in our marketing for twelve months. Your posts carry an #ad disclosure as required by FTC and ASA guidelines.

Who we’re looking for

Voicey, three-platform, eighteen-plus.

We’re not gatekeeping by follower count. We’re gatekeeping by craft and by the ability to hit a seven-day turnaround.

Required

  • An active TikTok, Instagram, AND Snapchat — same handle if possible. The video has to live on all three.
  • You're 18+. You can prove residency in one of the listed countries (the payout rails depend on it).
  • You can hit a 7-day turnaround from acceptance to all three posts going live.
  • You're comfortable saying #ad in a caption (we require it, FTC requires it).

Nice to have

  • You make videos in the dating, relationship, voice-y commentary, or reaction lanes.
  • Your videos sound like a person, not a brand template.
  • You've imitated a format before and made it land.

Eligible countries

  • USUnited States
  • CACanada
  • GBUnited Kingdom
  • IEIreland
  • AUAustralia
  • NZNew Zealand

Outside this list? Apply anyway with a note — we’ll add country support batch-by-batch as the payout rails clear.

The fine print

The honest questions.

  • How quickly will I hear back?
    Within twenty-four hours of applying. If you haven't heard from us by then, your application went sideways — re-submit or email support@tryaura.dating.
  • When does the base $25 actually pay out?
    Within seven days of all three posts going live. You send us the three URLs plus a 30-second video receipt of each post on your account, we send the payment via PayPal or Wise (your choice at acceptance).
  • How is the $10 bonus measured?
    Combined views across TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat at day fourteen post-publish. We screenshot the counts; you get a copy. Crossing 60,000 in any combination wins it. The bonus is one-shot — no retroactive top-ups if a post pops at day thirty.
  • Do I have to follow the format exactly?
    Follow the beats and the structure exactly. Rewrite the words to sound like you — that's the whole reason we hired you and not a model. We'll reject videos that drop a beat, change the structure, or read like a brand script.
  • Who owns the video?
    You do. By accepting, you grant aura a non-exclusive licence to repost it on our channels and in our marketing for twelve months. After that, the licence ends; the video is yours alone.
  • Can I post the video for other brands too?
    Not for any other dating, dating-coach, or rizz-adjacent app within thirty days of publishing. Other categories are fine — we're not buying exclusivity, we're buying first-look in our niche.
  • What about #ad, FTC, ASA?
    Required, every platform, every post. We'll send the exact disclosure copy at acceptance. Skipping it disqualifies the post for both base and bonus.
  • What about taxes?
    You're responsible for your own. US creators paid above $600 in a calendar year get a 1099; we won't reach that threshold on a single $35 batch but if you come back for batch 02 and beyond, we will.
  • Is there a batch 02?
    Probably. If batch 01 lands the way we want it to, we move the best performers into a longer-term arrangement at higher rates. Doing this batch puts you at the front of that line.
  • What if my video bombs?
    Base $25 is paid regardless of views, as long as the post stays live for fourteen days and meets the brief. The bonus is the only view-gated piece.
