No doubt you have heard of Snapchat insome way, shape, or form in the lastcouple of years But if you are like a lot

of people you probably don’t know thatmuch about it

Should you know anything, chances arethat you recall is there was some

controversy some time ago about

teenagers using the app for things theirparents would rather they didn’t

Snapchat has come a long way sincethen It has shrugged off much of itsseedy reputation to become a

mainstream social networking platformwith over 100 million daily users It’sbecome so popular that its parent

company Snap recently launched a verysuccessful public IPO, raising billions inrevenue for the company

Part of the reason for the app’s surge inpopularity is the fact that many people

have found ways to use it to make moneythemselves How can this be? How canwhat amounts to a photo taking and

sharing app be used to make money foryour bank account?

That is where this guide comes in

We’ll take you through the basics of how

to use the app, build a following, andthen turn that following into a moneymaking machine Whether you have abusiness to promote or are interested inpromoting others’ products, we are here

to help you get started.

Chapter 1 – How do I Snap a Chat?

If that is the first question that comes tomind, this chapter is for you Before youcan integrate Snapchat into your socialmedia machine, you actually need toknow how to use it

As with most apps, it can be found in theGoogle Play Store Find that little

yellow ghost symbol and download it Once you open it, it will go through a

few basic steps to help you get going.

The most important of these is when itsearches your phone’s contact list This

is how you – at least initially – findfollowers and begin building an

audience Any of your contacts that alsohave Snapchat accounts will show upand you can add them immediately

Beyond that, adding friends and

followers to your account is a bit moredifficult We’ll spend some time talking

about that later though when we discusshow to build your audience.

Once you’ve finished with your contacts,you can get started Right away, you’ll

be looking at your face on your screen The app primarily uses your front facingcamera to record videos of you talking

or doing stuff, or quickly snapping aselfie

You can tap the button on the screen totake a picture or hold it down to take a

video Before you start randomly doingthis though, let’s get your Snapcode out

of the way

No, a Snapcode is not actually just a line

or two of code that assigned to you It isactually a ghost icon with your mug (orwhatever else you choose) in the middle

of it

Touch the button and your phone quicklytakes a series of five photos that thenbecome your profile pic This is thesingle most important part of Snapchat interms of building your audience

Quick clarification here, the Snapcode isnot really your picture It’s actually allthe black dots in the yellow square

surrounding the ghost icon In any case,with that taken care of, you can startexploring other aspects of the app, mostimportantly taking and altering yourphotos

Taking the photos is simple enough and

we have gone over that Snapchat

though allows you to add and do a

number of things to your photos

Captions – Whether you are buildingyour audience by taking entertainingselfies or by offering things likegardening or workout tips

(depending on what your particularbusiness model is) captions will be

a great way to add a little extra

punch to your snaps

Doodle – Need to point out

something particular in your snap?

Fire up Snapchat’s drawing tool andcircle, arrow, and highlight as

Download – If there is a snap youreally want to save, you can alwaysdownload it to your phone for

posterity’s sake They can also besaved to the Memories feature in theapp

Stickers – Snapchat has a

Facebookish library of fun stickersthat you can add to the snap and give

it a bit more life If you think thatisn’t enough for you, Snap has

partnered with Bitmoji This applets you create emojis based on yourown appearance

Geofilters – These are specificallycustomized, location based filtersthat can be useful for promoting asmall business

Lenses – Lenses can let you

transform any face in your image just

by holding down your thumb on theimage and selecting the desiredoption

Stories – Story snaps last for 24hours These are a great way tobuild a particular message for a daythat your followers will eat up Stories are also a way to add

followers and build your audience

If you touch the stories icon in thebottom right of your screen, you will

go to a screen that will allow you toview the stories of people you arefollowing

You can also select the globe iconthat will then be in the top right ofyour screen This will bring up anumber of pre-selected stories fromsources like Mashable, NationalGeographic, and CNN

You can view and subscribe to any ofthese There is also a search featurethat will allow you to bring up

stories from people who are not onyour list of followers or followees

Be warned, it is limited and will notlikely deliver too many results, atleast at first

Another question may come to mind, ifthese snaps are gone so quickly, how is

it possible to even develop followers? Who has the opportunity to see them? To

answer that, think about how often yousee people, especially those in theirtwenties and teens walking around withtheir phones in hand

People these days are actually alwaysconnected, always ready to respond tothe first notification from their phones Snapchat plays on this always

connected, instant gratification culture The highly limited availability of thesnaps encourages people to view themimmediately instead of waiting

More Tips and Tricks

Like any other piece of software,

Snapchat has a number of features thatcan be used in unconventional ways andcombining them can lead to either

creating a better experience with the app

at a minimum or helping you create eyecatching content that will help you

generate some dollar signs

Zoom – If you compare the art of

Shonduras with that of Dasha

Battelle you will see more than aslight difference in quality Sure,talent is a big part of it

Another is the use of your phone’szoom feature You can find it underthe Accessibility section of yourphone’s settings Speaking of zoom,Snapchat lets you zoom with just onefinger Up zooms in and down zoomsout

Character Framing – If you want aquick and easy way to frame yoursnaps, this one is for you Just type

a single character caption and

enlarge it Rotate, flip, and position

as desired to give yourself a quickand easy frame for your image

Adding Music – Adding a

soundtrack to your videos is actuallyreally easy All you need to do isstart playing a song from your phonewhile recording

If you are looking to sync up the

music with the action you will

probably need to do some more work

in post-production, but even then, this

is at least an easy way to get started

Adding more than just one line oftext – If you have more to say thanone line can handle and want

arrange it a certain way, this little tipmakes that easy

Just open up your Notes app, copy

some empty lines and paste them intoyour snap’s caption Then type yourmessage just the way you want it

Personalized promotions – Do youhave something you want to promote

to your followers? Do you want tosend something personalized withoutreinventing all the basic info everytime?

Of course you do Personalizationmakes anything more interesting but

having to put the necessary info intoevery single snap would be horriblytedious Don’t worry

From the Chat part of the app you canselect an image that is already stored

in your phone – one with all the

promotional info already on it – andthen doodle and caption whateverpersonalized message you want

before sending it off

How to Check if Someone is

Following You – We already talkedabout ways to check or gauge howmany people are following you

If you really want to know if a

particular person is following you,there is a very simple way to do this

Go to the “Add by Username

section”, hold down your digit on thename of the person you are curiousabout If their Snapchat score pops

up then you can rest assured that theperson in question is following you

Multiple Filters – Yes, you can add

a filter But why just one? Selectthe first filter normally but continuewith a finger (or thumb if you are soinclined) pressed on the screen Use your other hand to swipe throughyour options to add even more filters

Saving a Story – Remember that thestories you create disappear after

just 24 hours But every now andthen you might want to save one theway Chris Carmichael does

Alas, you are forgetful and can neverremember to save and transfer yourstories You either remember whenyou don’t have time or forget whenyou do

Try setting an alarm that will go offbefore your story disappears

forever

Then whip out your phone or tablet

and get it saved so you can upload it

to your other platforms at your

leisure

But first, we really need to get thataudience built up

Chapter 2 – Building the Audience

So, given that you only quickly buildyour audience based on the contact list

in your phone, how do you build anaudience big enough to be useful forgenerating revenue?

The first thing to understand is thatSnapchat is not truly a stand-alone tool

It is only one part of your entire socialmedia outreach Just like with Twitter,

Facebook, and Instagram, it needs to beintegrated into your overall social mediastrategy.

Here is where your Snapcode comesinto play You are going to want to putthat everywhere:

Blogs – Include your Snapcode inevery blog post, or at least a link to

it Beyond every post, make sureit’s in your sidebar, at the bottom ofyour home page and anywhere else

that you can think of.

Facebook – Same thing as with yourblog Embed it into your posts, inthe social media section of yoursidebars, etc

YouTube – Again, put it in the socialmedia row in the information section

of your videos, at the end of yourvideo, and even overlay it in the

corner of your videos while it isplaying

Twitter – Twitter doesn’t have asmany options as the other majorplatforms However, you can stillupload your Snapcode as an image

Do it every few posts to give yourfollowers as many chances to followyou as possible

The bottom line is to share your

Snapcode in as many places as possible

to help increase your visibility

Whatever social media networks you areconnected to, make sure you know thebest way to integrate it with Snapchat Your would-be followers can then scanyour code and add you to the list ofpeople they are following

If your other platforms don’t provide aneasy way to share your Snapcode, youcan include the profile link that Snapchatprovides

But how do you get people to follow inthe first place? The first and most

obvious answer is to create high qualityand entertaining content that people willwant to get more of

Whatever it is you are selling, (shoes,knowledge, or your personality) do yourresearch so you know your subject betterthan anyone else, or least have a uniqueperspective that no one else is offeringand that you can present it better thananyone

Not every post on every platform needs

to be directly related to your main

subject

In fact, it is actually better if you includepersonal posts sharing your thoughts onmovies, books, favorite places to shop,

go for coffee, or whatever Snapchat,like every other kind of social media isabout connecting with people

Your followers don’t just want to knowabout your product or service, they alsowant to know you So give them a taste

of you in your personal life every fewsnaps

However, don’t go over the top with it Spending too much time with silly add-ons like dog ears and fish lips mightwork for some, but it might also drivepeople away

A better way is to make sure that yourbusiness related posts include a healthydose of personality In short, be youbecause that’s really what you are

selling

If that sounds like an overblown

statement, I understand But it was bornout once again in a conversation that Iwas having with someone who is

involved in sales

He was pointing out that at least 80% ofpeople who buy a particular product orservice do so not because of the

knowledge of the salesman but for

reasons relating to personality

In fact, only 7% of people state that the

salesman’s knowledge was the reasonthey made a purchase So be warm,friendly, and most importantly, be

genuinely enthusiastic about your

product or service After all, if youaren’t genuinely enthusiastic, how canyou expect anyone else to be?

The best way to get people to follow youthough is to follow them first In fact,Snapchatters are 75% more likely tofollow you if you follow them first Building your followers this way is justthe result of good old fashioned

networking

Follow the blogs, Twitter accounts,YouTube channels, etc., of other peoplewho are producing content that you areinterested in Share and comment onsome of their posts and they may do thesame for you

Doing so will expose your content toalready established and social mediasavvy audiences, allowing you to growyour own audience much faster than if

you were relying on word of mouthalone

Building your audience is without adoubt the hardest, most tedious, time-consuming, and least rewarding part ofbuilding up your business

You have to spend time reading,

commenting, and following people everyday It also does not happen overnight

Yes, once it seemed like anyone who had

a skill to offer or a sufficiently outgoing

personality would be able to acquire alarge enough following that could then

be turned into dollars in a very shorttime

That was years ago though Today, themarket is highly saturated, meaning thatyou have to work harder and longer inorder to stand out from the crowd

Plan on a good year of pounding thedigital pavement before you have a bigenough audience that is buying yourproduct, watching your YouTube videos,
