TunedForYou UGC Creator Program
Get paid to film the moment someone hears their song
Film someone you love hearing a song about them for the first time: their name, their stories, their people. We make the song for free, pay $40 for every Reel or TikTok we accept, and give you a code for your followers that earns you 20% of every sale.

Film and post
Play it to them for the first time and film the moment. Send us the cut, post it once we accept it, and we pay you.
What we pay
A free song
We make the song for the person you film, from the story you tell us. It is theirs to keep.
$40 per accepted video
For each Reel or TikTok we accept, paid once it is live on your account.
A code for your followers
Your own discount code, and 20% commission on every sale made with it.
Larger creators: rates on request. Tell us your audience in the form and we come back with an offer.
What we ask
- Say “TunedForYou” out loud in the video.
- Show the song playing on the phone screen at least once.
- Mark the post as an ad or paid partnership, as the platform and advertising rules require.
- Have a signed consent from the person you film before you post.
Example shot list
What works best for a first-listen reaction video.
- Phone on a tripod
- Steady, vertical, framed on the face of the person listening. Hand-held shakes lose the moment.
- Light from the front
- A window or a lamp behind the camera, never behind them. We need to see the eyes.
- Someone aged 30 to 70
- A parent, a grandparent, a partner, a best friend. People who are not expecting it react best.
- A quiet room
- TV off, no music in the background, so the song and their reaction are both audible.
- The name line
- Keep rolling until the song sings their name. That is usually the moment.

Questions
Who can apply?
Creators on Instagram or TikTok who film real moments with family, partners or friends, and UGC creators who make videos for brands. There is no minimum follower count: we look at the sample video more than the numbers. You need to be 18 or older.
How much do you pay, and when?
$40 for each Reel or TikTok we accept, paid once it is live on your account. We pay by PayPal or bank transfer. Commission from your discount code is 20% of each sale made with it, paid monthly for the previous month, refunded orders excluded. Creators with larger audiences: rates on request, tell us in the form.
Do I get the song for free?
Yes. We make the song for the person you film at no cost to you, and it is theirs to keep whether or not the video is accepted.
Can you use my video in ads?
We agree usage rights with you in writing before you film: where we may repost the video and for how long. Nothing runs as a paid ad without your separate agreement, and we tell you the terms first.
Is it exclusive?
No. You can work with other brands, including other gift brands. We only ask that each video is about TunedForYou alone.
Why do I need a signed consent from the person I film?
The video shows someone else’s face, voice and often their name. A short note signed by them, saying they agree to the video being posted, protects you and them. We cannot accept a video without it.
What is TunedForYou?
A personalised song gift. You tell us about the person — their name, their stories, the moments that matter — and we turn it into lyrics and a finished song in minutes.
