A lot of people make money by posting videos and pictures on Instagram or YouTube. But some people don’t realize they can also make money on Snapchat, which is a fun way to share photos and videos with your friends.
Snapchat lets people make money by creating content that others like. They can get paid for making sponsored posts, joining revenue share programs, and receiving gifts. Some people even make enough money on Snapchat to do it as a full-time job.
1. Stories Affiliate Program
If you tell lots of stories on Snapchat, you might be able to make money from them. Snapchat will put ads in between your stories, and you’ll get some of the money that comes from those ads.
To be part of this program where you can earn money, you need to have at least 50,000 followers and a lot of views on your profile. You also need to post on your profile regularly and be at least 18 years old.
2. Sponsored Content Via The Creator Marketplace
A lot of companies are working with people who make videos on Snapchat to help promote their products, just like they do on other social media sites like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Snapchat has a special place where companies can find these video creators to work with them.
In the Creator Marketplace, businesses can search for creators based on things like how much money they have, what language they speak, and what they are good at. Creators can decide how much they want to be paid and choose which projects they want to work on.
Snapchat team needs to choose creators for the Creator Marketplace. They suggest that you make your profile public and post interesting content often to increase your chances of being chosen.
3. Creator Gifts
Fans can show their appreciation to creators by sending them virtual gifts called Snap Tokens. These gifts can be redeemed by creators and they can choose to thank the fan who sent it. Fans will be notified when the creator opens their gift. You have to be 16 or older to receive gifts.
4. Snapchat Spotlight
Snapchat Spotlight is like a special place on the app where you can find fun new stuff. It uses a special formula to show you things you might like based on what you enjoy.
On Snapchat, people who make popular videos can earn money as a reward. The amount of money they get depends on how many people like and watch their videos.
To qualify, you need to have a Snapchat account that is at least one month old, have a public profile, have at least 1,000 followers, get at least 10,000 views in a month, post at least 10 times on 5 different days using Snapchat Creative Tool, share original content, and set up your payment account correctly.
People who are a good match for the program will get a message on the Snapchat app.
5. Selling merchandise
As more people who really like your Snapchat start following you, they might want to buy things like shirts or hats with your logo on them to show their support and tell others about you.
People who make things can sell their stuff on Snapchat using a special feature called “Shop.” This feature lets them show off their products in a virtual store to reach their fans.
To start selling their products, creators can use the Snap Store or connect with Shopify to keep track of what they have and sell it. This makes it easy for their fans to shop for things without having to leave the app, which is fun and helpful for both the creator and their followers.
6. Selling Digital Products & Services
As a creator, you can make money by sharing your knowledge and skills. Some creators offer coaching, sell e-books, courses, mentorships, or consulting sessions online or in person.
Creators can make money by using Snapchat to show their products in fun ways and send messages to specific people who might be interested.
