Snaps Ads
Snap Self-service Ads Manager allows businesses to advertise on Snapchat and manage their ads directly through the Snapchat site or App.
Snapchat Ads are basically vertical videos that run up to 10 seconds.
You can use Snap Ads to boost the clicks on your website, or the number of downloads for your new App.
In fact, Snapchat Ads is ideal to use when you want your viewers to take a specific action, like visiting your e-commerce page or installing your application.
Geofilters
This Snapchat ad type is an illustrated overlay that varies depending on where the user is located.
Adding custom messaging or branding to your filters will help showcase your company.
You can use Geofilters when you’re going to run exclusive events or open a new store. Making a free Geofilter for a public place is crucial when trying to make money on Snapchat.
There are two types of filters: personal and business. If you choose to create a business Geofilter, keep in mind that a company logo will be required.
You’ll be able to customize your Geofilters through Snapchat’s templates available in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator formats. Then, you can download your filter, set the time and date, choose a location, pay for the filter and confirm your order.
Snapchat also offers some basic tools to measure your geofilter’s effectiveness.
Sponsored Lenses
Snapchat allows the user to use fun augmented reality filters on their faces. As a company, you can offer branded lenses.
In order to do that, you’ll have to explain your goals to Snapchat itself since the lenses’ creation remains their prerogative. After that, the audience will be able to use your branded lenses and share them with other users.
Affiliate Marketing
Snapchat is also a good tool for affiliate business.
Once your Snapchat is successful enough (which means that you have a great number of followers), you can start offering discount tickets, introducing new products, informing people about special events, promoting websites and so much more.
You could also use software tools (such as TravelPayOuts) to get commissioned when user buys products through the links you’re sharing via Snapchat.
This can be an effective way to earn some extra money on the side.
Since it’s fundamental that you have a lot of followers in order to earn an actual profit, here are some tips to make your Snapchat Account grow:
- Tell your friends and contacts to add you on Snapchat;
- Promote your account on other social media platforms;
- Drop your Snapcode everywhere;
- Be consistent: showing up every day is very important when it comes to effective social media activity;
- Use some collateral tools:
- Get discovered on Ghost Codes;
- Add your Snapchat username to r/snapchat sub-Reddit. (You’ll get random followers that will give your account an initial boost.)
