YouTube Monetization: How to Earn Money from Ads and Sponsorships

Snapchat is a visual social media platform where users can share short-term pics and videos. Snapchat has over 530 million active users, who spend an average of 30+ minutes on the app daily, opening it more than 25 times in a single day. It turns out that 1 million Snaps are sent per minute. By the way, Twitter has LESS users than Snapchat!
In September 2011, Snapchat burst onto the social media scene with a unique product: disappearing content.
When the company was just one year old, Facebook's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, offered the Snapchat founders $60 million to buy the company. When they declined the offer, Facebook almost immediately launched an app called Poke, which was very similar to Snapchat. You would be forgiven for not knowing what Poke was, as the app received a lukewarm reception and was quietly shut down in 2014.
Poke brought even more attention to Snapchat. Mark Zuckerberg, however, didn't stop trying to get his hands on such a flashy app. After offering $3 billion in cash to buy Snapchat (the offer was again rejected), Facebook copied a number of Snapchat features and integrated them into Instagram. Stories, for example, were taken. Stories became a huge hit for Instagram, and Snapchat, which could not yet match Instagram in scale, suffered greatly. Growth began to slow noticeably after this Instagram update.
Snapchat has firmly taken its place at the table of social media giants - even if its user demographics lean more toward millennial and Gen-Z audiences. According to the information given by the company, Snapchat reaches 75% of millennials and Gen-Z in the United States, making it a goldmine of potential customers if your brand's primary audience falls within the broad 10-40 age range.
Snapchat users by country
Snapchat's main content formats:
1. Direct Messages. Most people use Snapchat because of its messaging feature, which allows you to send disappearing photos, videos, and texts directly to your friends.
You can choose how long a photo or video is visible before it disappears (1-10 seconds), send content to individual friends or groups, and make it visually expressive with drawings, emoji, stickers, filters, and lenses.
2. Snapchat Stories. Like Snapchat's direct messages, Stories were private at first. Only your friends could see them, and they expired after 24 hours. But a lot has changed since then.
Today, users can share Snapchat Stories publicly and without a time limit. Snapchat also has a Stories tab that displays content from its 500 million monthly active users, including brands and authors.
3. Spotlight. Snapchat's latest feature is very similar to TikTok. Like the viral video platform For You Page, Snapchat Spotlight is an endless feed of looped short-form videos. Many creators even repurpose their TikTok content for Snapchat Spotlight.
Here's a quick guide on how to get more friends on Snapchat:
1. Invite contacts. The first step in getting easy followers on Snapchat is to use your existing contacts and connections.
Since Snapchat connects to your phone, you can easily allow it to access your contacts and social media platforms. This means you can add selected contacts or friends to Facebook with just a few clicks.
2. Share your link and QR code. Share and display your Snapchat profile URL on other social media sites
What it does is basically allows you to share a link that when clicked by someone, automatically adds you on Snapchat.
Share your QR code anywhere: Use Canva to create beautiful graphics with your Snapcode and use it on social networks to distribute. You can get your own Snapcode on Snapchat's website here.
3. Tell great stories. Consider these formats and ideas:
4. Track trending topics. Each month Snapchat posts trends on its blog. Each post highlights the world's hottest topics, trending entertainment, popular emoji, top celebrities, and frequently used slang.
