How to Connect with the Top 20 Snapchat Influencers
Written By: Tyler Kippe
There’s no doubt about it, Snapchat is growing and growing very fast. They have marketers, entrepreneurs, and brands waiting on the edge of their seats as the next updates continue to roll out.
And while the vast majority of people only use it as an app to send pictures to get a laugh out of their friends or as a medium to showcase the highlights of their day, there’s a powerful media brand on the rise.
See what the masses have yet to realize is that Snapchat can be used as a tool to advertise and even monetize their brand, business, products,a and services.
This quickly moving and evolving medium is proven to be quite lucrative for brands, influencers, and content curators from all sorts of niches, industries, and areas of expertise.
Even if that expertise is the use of the latest filters like the much popular dog lick filter, the data proves that this type of user generated content will solidify Snapchat’s social media powerhouse much sooner rather than later.
Those who have already discovered the true potential of Snapchat are absolutely crushing the game when it comes to engagement. And many of these “influencers” have the results to prove it.
Think about it like this, in the digital age anyone with a smartphone and internet connection has access to endless amounts of potential customers, users, prospects, etc.
But where traditional marketing went directly for the “right hook” as Gary Vaynerchuk shares, the new normal is “jab, jab, jab, THEN right hook”.
Or in other words…
See, the one thing (of many) that successful digital influencers have in common is a this recurring theme of “giving first” by CONSISTENTLY providing exceptional amounts of FREE VALUE to their followers, fans, customers, and even prospects.
This content consists of actionable steps, real world advice, and a glimpse into the life of highly successful influencers, entrepreneurs, innovators, thought leaders, and beyond.
The beauty is that consumers can view all of this in the palm of their hand seconds after the content is created, or anytime with the 24 hour period that Snapchat allows for viewing access.
So, if you take one thing from this article let it be that in order to earn the trust of a customer it’s this…
you must first GIVE, GIVE, and GIVE again in order to establish your desired relationship!
Above all, the reason Snapchat is exploding is because it gives consumers the closest connection to their idols to date. With using this app users are having the equivalent of a face to face conversation with the influencers of their choice.
This connection has been amplified with influencers beginning to hold question and answer segments on their Snapchat.
During these periods they open up the floor to their followers to Snapchat their questions in and answer as many as their time allows.
Many influencers will record these segments and post them to other social media platforms such as Youtube to extend the reach of their content.

The one weakness I feel that Snapchat has is the lack of a feature which allows you to find new Snapchatters to follow based on your desired experience.
Lucky for Snapchat there has been an app created to do just that. It’s called GhostCodes.
And spoiler alert…it’s awesome!
GhostCodes allows you to seamlessly search through categories such as…
Storytelling,
Business,
Health and Wellness,
Photography,
Entrepreneurs,
Music,
Professional Athletes,
and many more!
It is also a great tool for building your own audience as it gives you the ability to choose your own category, link all of your other social media, receive “kudos” from Snapchatters who enjoy your content, and there’s even a convenient clickable icon to download your Snapcode.
Essentially, Snapchat owes GhostCode a huge thank you for the creation of even more engagement on their app. Therefore, whether your goal is to increase engagement, discover new people, or both, it would be in your best interest to download the GhostCodes App today!
