4. Ask Questions.

This goes with tips 2 and 3. Lead your audience into more interaction. This will help create a conversation and solidify the bond that your audience has with you. Having a rough day? Ask your followers how they handle the situation. Needing new ideas for posts, vlogs, recipes, makeup tutorials – ask your audience! They are a great source for content.

5. Share Your Content!

This is a great time to plug your latest or upcoming content. Publishing a new vlog later in the day? Let them know to be on the look out for it. Publish a new post earlier? Tell them to visit your blog and read it right after the chat! Snapchat is a great avenue to market your latest content on other sites and networks.

6. Be Yourself and Have fun!

The fun part of Snapchat is that it can be the easiest social media tool you have. Don’t overthink it. Just be yourself – that’s who your audience wants to see and get to know better anyway.
