Home From College is a gig platform that connects college students with side-work. Of course, they’re now promoting heavily on TikTok, leaning on UGC ambassadors.
We spotted seven ambassador accounts alongside two official channels (one Instagram, one TikTok), and the program is already pulling measurable reach:
tt@amy.homefromcollege has totaled about 1.2M views since June 12, with a single clip hitting 689.7K.
That video frames a relatable problem — “my parents think I’m not applying for jobs… I genuinely cannot get an interview to save my life” — then drops the app as the solution, which turns sympathy and comments into installs.
Another ambassador, tt@alexis.homefromcollege, rode a trend to roughly 900K views using the same drop-and-solve structure.
The play: expose a pain point, trigger engagement, and plug the platform in the hook or early in the clip.
Execution is solid but conservative. Different “make money” apps for students have found much bigger wins by testing flashier hooks, clearer CTAs, and a wider variety of formats.
