Snapchat is growing and showing no intention to stop. With over three billion Snaps posted every day, it can be pretty hard to get noticed. You need to have great and unique content, but sometimes that just isn’t enough.
We have good news for you as we rounded up the top five tips for getting more views on Snapchat. Celebrities and brands have used them, as well as many young people around the world.
Use a Snapcode
If you don’t have a Snap Code yet, it’s time to create it. Snap Code is a unique code linked to your account and other people can use it to find you. You can set it as your profile picture along with your avatar. It can be much quicker to find someone via Snap Code instead of typing their username.
If you misspell someone’s username, you may not be able to find them on Snapchat due to the large number of accounts. With a Snap Code there is no mistake. If someone wants to follow you, all they have to do is take a screenshot of your code and that person will be added to your list.
But how do you reach new people with your Snap Code? There is a trick that has helped a lot of people. All you have to do is use your Snapchat profile picture (with your code) as your profile picture on other social networks like Instagram or TikTok.
This way, you remind your followers that you also have a Snapchat account. Also, when someone follows you on another social network, the first thing they’ll see is a link to your Snapchat account. It’s the best way for people to find and follow you on Snapchat.
Send Regularly
We may not know everything about Snapchat’s algorithm, but there is one thing we do know. Like most other social networks, Snapchat prefers accounts of people who post frequently. Not only is it an excellent way to show that you’re consistent and serious about your content, it’s also one of the best ways to top your followers’ feeds.
Snapchat Stories go in chronological order. The more Stories you post, the more users will see and open your story. If you’re keen on growing your account, you should post regularly. Of course, you should never overdo it or your followers might get bored. A few Stories a day should do the job.
However, quantity cannot always replace quality. If you don’t know what to post, don’t post random stuff just because you posted it. It’s better to take a break for a few days and figure out what type of content you want to post and create a strategy.
Create a Routine
Many users, from comedians to educators, have used this tactic. They say they will release valuable content every evening so people can get used to their presence. You can do the same. No matter what, you can challenge yourself to come at 8pm every day. The goal is to get your audience used to your content.
A good example comes from educational accounts that run short mini-lessons every day. This is the best way to make people remember you without being boring. Sooner than you might think, there will be tons of people waiting for your content every day.
You will get more views, which will motivate you to post even better content and reach more people.
Create Catchy Headlines
There is something you can learn from top bloggers and journalists. A good title is sometimes more important than the story itself. On the other hand, if you have an uninteresting title but a great story, you will turn off a lot of potential readers, or in this case, your followers.
Ok, but how does this apply to Snapchat? When you have a series of Snaps that make up a whole, the first Snap is the most important. The person can decide whether or not to watch the rest of your Snap.
Learn from journalists and start creating catchy headlines. Of course, we are not saying that you should create extravagant things that have nothing to do with your content. Instead, you should create captions that announce your Snaps below but don’t reveal too much. Make sure your audience is always interested and wanting more.
One strategy that never fails is to promise to show them ten steps to get something done. Or that you’ll share ten things no one knows about you. That way you get their attention and most people can’t help but watch your stories from start to finish.
Try Ghostcodes
If you want to reach new people you should try Ghostcodes. It is an online platform that allows you to present your account and discover similar Snapchat accounts. You can create a short preview that gives more information about your account and the type of content you usually post.
Profiles are for entertainment, fitness, travel, etc. divided into categories. When other users come across your account, they can give you a like. The more likes you get, the higher your ranking will be. It also means that more new users can discover your profile.
This is a great way to not only get more views, but also increase your authority. If you want to use your Snapchat profile to be relevant to your field, this might be the way to go.
Do not be shy!
Some people feel awkward when they have to promote their content outside of Snapchat. There is no reason for this. You know your content is great, but if you don’t promote it, how will other people see it?
