Memorize and share the search engine link of your Snapchat profile

This unique URL is just as easy to promote on other social networks and web properties as your Snapcode. Here is the format of the link:

www.snapchat/add/YOUR-USER

7) Share Snapchat content on your other social networks

In addition to sharing your Snapcode and profile URL, you can also use sparkles from your Snapchat content to captivate Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter followers to follow you.

Taco Bell created an On Demand Geo-filter (explained in more detail below), which contained a promotion to drive users to its doors. Then, they had to share that Snapchat Geo-filter on Twitter. They openly asked their Twitter followers to use the Geo-filter, so they could tell their own Snapchat Followers about the promotion. In other words, they tried to create a viral campaign to engage with Snapchatters.

Tim Hortons decided to do something similar on Instagram (and indeed Twitter as well). They ran a contest to stimulate more followers on Snapchat. But they did not stop there, they also asked for user participation, hoping that followers would Snap them and also use their Filter.

8) Link to your Snapchat profile on your website

Don’t forget to let your website visitors know how to find you on Snapchat! Where you list your other social media profiles (usually with little icon links), you can also add the following Snapchat information, such as:

• A hyperlink to your profile URL (perhaps in the form of an image icon link).
• Your username in plain text
• Your Snapcode image is visible, and not in a hidden place (like the footer of your site).

Here are instructions on how to add your Snapcode to your WordPress website .

Also, you can use a WordPress plugin like this one to list all your social networks using icon links, including Snapchat.

9) Include Snapchat information in your email signature and print collateral

Although this may sound a lot like “old school,” you have to admit, doing this makes it easier for people to find you on Snapchat! Put your Snapchat username or Snapcode on your business card, brochures, advertisements and other places. And in that handy email signature

10) Add followers on Snapchat, and they’ll probably add you back

This works for virtually any social network. If you add people to your social network, it is very likely that they will also add you. So take the initiative, and click those “+Add” links if the app gives them. Use the “Quick Add” section on Snapchat, and scan other people’s Snapcodes when you see them!

In our How to use Snapchat for Beginners guide, we have included some simple step-by-step instructions for adding friends on Snapchat.

There are also apps that help you find people to connect with (and help them find you!). Here are four:

• AddMe – Friends on Kik & Snapchat (On iTunes)
• Get Friends for Snapchat & Kik, Users for Snap (On Google Play)
• Flamingo – More friends, Snapchat views, Kit (On Google Play, here is the iTunes version )
• GhostCodes- a discovery app for Snapchat (on iTunes and a webpage here)

Some will suggest using Twitter Hashtags and queries (like add me #Snapchat) to find users who want to be added. Check out our post, The Best Tools and Apps for Snapchat to learn more.

11) Tell great stories to make your Snapchat account popular

To keep your Followers on Snapchat, and get them to share your Snaps with others (and thereby attract more followers), you’ll want to make sure you’re telling great stories. “Here, Stories” could refer to Snapchat Stories (a series of “joined” Snaps). However, we are also talking about interesting things that your brand or company is doing in a 24-hour period (This is the stories on the Snapchat timeline for their visibility of Snaps or Stories).
