How To Grow Followers on Snapchat
Before moving into your Snapchat’s content strategy, let’s figure out how should you start building a following. What’s the point of posting new content for 24 hours when no one will be there to see it?
Below are some ways to start getting active on the platform – and gradually build a following:
- Start following users – and a lot of users may start following you back! There is a site called www.snapchat.codes, where you find and add users through their snapcodes
- Include your username / Snapcode in your emails, social network profiles and blogs to encourage people to add you
- Run a contest on Snapchat and promote it on other social networks (Facebook, Instagram and Twitter), to encourage people to add you on Snapchat and perform an action for a chance to win
- Keep creating content – even if you have a low number of followers – word of mouth with existing followers can go a long way
- Save your Snapchat content and Snap Stories, and share them on other social networks. If the content is exciting, you’ll start gaining a following in no time. Don’t forget to use hashtags on other networks to encourage content discoverability
- Try to collaborate with other slightly popular Snapchat users and create engaging content
- To keep the engagement going, try to respond to, and connect with all your followers (only possible if you don’t have a massive following)
