We all know that Snapchat is a huge medium to amass a large following very quickly. In this article, we are going to give you 5 surefire ways to increase your following for your personal or business account.

  1. STORYTELLING: Snapchat is an app that is centered around creating stories. As well all know stories have a BEGINNING, MIDDLE AND END. Using this format will better help you engage with you feed.
  2. EMOTICONS: Yes! we all know those cute little emoji’s we use on a daily basis to our friend and family! Using emoji’s on Snapchat is a creative way to bring more life to your story or even create a amazing snapterpiece! Use emoji’s to help tell your story and have fun with them. The intuitive design of the emoji’s allows the user to expand/decrease the size of the emoji and even can be used as an filter!

THEME: Create content that you can build a strong community that will allow you to engage and create a buzz for your feed. FOR EXAMPLE: my scheduling is as follows:

____________________

TUESDAYS — ‘’TALL TALE TUESDAYS’’ (Creative comedic stories about personal tall tales)

THURSDAY- ‘’THROWBACK THURSDAYS’’ Stories that allow me to introduce content from the past

FOLLOW FRIDAY BEHIND THE SCENES — I am the official snapchat / film cinematographer for my brother IAMJEFFTHORNTON | I cover his tips, tricks as he introduces the top snappers to follow.

SUNDAY CINEMA — I build emoji art for popular shows like FULLER HOUSE or come up with content of my favorite movies and engage to see what movies you watching or recommend.

____________________

4. USE MUSIC- The way I accomplish using music is by using my SPOTIFY on my phone. I am able to play out the track in my IPHONE 6S and return back to snapchat and record the music to my story live. This brings a real cinematic feel to your stories. From my understanding I heard this work with apple Itunes as well. I have only tried with Spotify and Soundcloud and they both work FANTASTIC!

QUICK TIP: FROM A COMPUTER (LAPTOP OR DESKTOP) YOU CAN LAY YOUR PHONE NEXT TO THE SPEAKER TO GET THE AUDIO FROM THE SPEAKER SOURCE OF A COMPUTER.

5. EQUIPMENT: If your looking to step your production game up a notch. heres a list of some items that will help your Snapgame!
