Torero Town Ambassadors
Share Torero Town with other USD students, and we'll pay you $2 for every friend who signs up through your link and gets set up.
Most missed assignments aren't about effort. The due date was in a syllabus PDF, three clicks deep in a Canvas page, or moved in an announcement nobody saw.
You can't plan around a date you never saw, and that's how good students end up with zeros.
We're two USD students who kept watching ourselves and our friends lose points to due dates we never saw coming. So we built Torero Town. It finds those dates, puts every one in a single list, and texts you before each one is due.
Torero Town is built by Ryan Morris and Calem Filipek as an independent student project. It's free for USD students through the school.
We don't have an ad budget, and we'd rather not. Our goal is to help students never miss a due date, and if Torero Town can help your friend group the way it helped ours, that's the whole goal.
If you think students shouldn't have to worry about this either, come help us spread the word that it exists and that it's free.
Four steps, and the only one that takes any time is the third.
Fill out the form below. We read every application ourselves and text you back, usually the same day.
You get your own link and QR code, with your initials on the end. Your link's page shows your count.
In person, in your group chats, on your story. Show them your list or the text you got this morning.
$2 for every new USD student who finishes setup, by Zelle or Venmo, about once a week.
We set aside a fixed amount for ambassadors, and every ambassador draws from the same pool.
Each friend who finishes setup takes the next spot, in the order they finish, whoever's link they used. One ambassador might fill twenty spots and another might fill two. Your link's page always shows how many spots are left.
When the pool is spent, your link keeps working and your friends keep counting. We pay those only if we add to the pool, and we'll tell you if we do. We keep a record of every payment.
You don't need to be an influencer. You need to use Torero Town and be the friend people ask about what's due.
This is a small group, not a sign-up sheet. We read every application, get to know each person before they get a link, and walk them through how we talk about Torero Town.
Once you're in, you work with us directly. Text Ryan or Calem whenever something comes up, and tell us what your friends ask, because that shapes what we build next.
There's no script and no quota. Tell your people about it in your own words. Since you're speaking for us, there are a few things we ask, and a few you never do.
The full version is section 10 of our Terms of Service, and what we keep about you is in the Privacy Policy. Once you're approved, we send you a short starter packet and walk you through it ourselves.
It takes about two minutes. We read every application and text you back, usually the same day.
Ryan or Calem will read it and text you, usually the same day. Questions in the meantime: help@torerotown.com.
A new USD student who opens your link, signs in with their own USD Canvas account, and finishes setup: the app syncs their classes, or they confirm a phone number for texts. It doesn't count if they already used Torero Town, if it's you, or if the sign-up never finishes. The first link a student uses is the one that counts, and a student counts once, ever. Your page shows two numbers, how many joined and how many finished setup, and the second one is what you're paid for.
By Zelle or Venmo, about once a week, to the account you put on your application. We text you the count and the amount when we send it.
Your link keeps working and your friends keep counting. We pay for those only if we add to the pool, in the order they finished setup, and we'll tell you if we do.
Only ambassadors who are 18 or older and allowed to work in the US can be paid. On an F-1 or a similar visa, you can still share a link and see your count, but we can't pay you, and we'd rather tell you now than later.
No. Your page shows numbers only, and we never tell anyone who signed up through your link. A friend who opens it does see your name on our home page, as in "Kiera invited you".
We don't withhold anything, and amounts this small don't come with a tax form, but what we pay you is yours to report.
It reads Canvas and never writes to it. Grades and what you turn in stay on your computer. The app's first screen shows what leaves it and why, and the Privacy Policy is in plain English. If they want more than that, send them to help@torerotown.com rather than guessing.
It isn't USD's. Two USD students built it, and the university doesn't run or endorse it. It costs students nothing because it comes through the school.
The full rules are in the ambassador terms (Terms of Service, section 10) and the Privacy Policy. Anything else: help@torerotown.com.
