Snapchat: Much More than A Friends App

February 26, 2016 mayaacra Leave a comment

So I have been active on Snapchat for more than a year. When I was working at NRJ Lebanon, I initiated the account and got more that 4k followers in less than a month from all over the world. Basically, I was getting the crowd from the facebook page I managed that I managed to get more than 1.1million followers to. Also, the engagement and interaction on the account was bringing dozens of new friends every day.

There are many ways you can get international crowd to your Snapchat account if you’re a company, especially if you’re as engaging as a radio or if you’re a popular face book page.
HIT ME UP if you’re interested in that! @mayaakra08

You can Also add me on Snapchat, I sometimes give some social media tips.

How to do that: Screen shot my Snapcode (to the left), Click on Add Friends, Add By Snapcode, Scan the Snapcode from your Gallery! There You Go!

Recently, I have acquired some Snapchat friends from around the world – and what is amazing is that most of them are contributing so much to my know-how about social media, investment, music, mental health, business, and positivity.
I seldom used to check my Snapchat updates because it was all full of “Happy Burszday To Youuuu” home videos from my Lebanese friends – which I don’t really enjoy and I might be guilty of uploading sometimes myself.

The point of this blogpost is to tell you to not use Snapchat anymore solely as a “I’m eating sushi with my friends app” but as a personal blog and a self improvement free-app that gets you personal with the people you might have been following on other social media platforms but couldn’t really get to know better. It also serves as a Market Research and Instant Feedback Interactive App.

Enjoy!

[our generation]

we be abusing hashtags to gain “followers” on instagaram.
Followers i.e: people we don’t know, who might follow us and like our pictures, so that we feel better about ourselves by getting recognition and acknowledgement from strangers.

rejecting people who want to be our friends on facebook.
we get daily notifications from people who are usually our friends’ friends – cause most of us use that filter – however, we reject them because we are cool like that, we don’t speak to strangers.

matching with people on Tinder for “friendship” goals
“It is not a fuck app” well, I’m sorry to break it up to you like that, but it is. If you are on Tinder, you are most probably single and wouldn’t mind a hook up. If you are looking for new friends on social media, try going through your friend requests on Facebook or friends list. They might not want to get into your pants. They might, every one wants to eventually, but if you want to make best friends on Tinder, that is not going to happen – except if you’re super duper ugly but super fun; then you belong to the minority of the lucky tinderians.tinder.giftinder-gif.gif

 

ignoring our friends in real life and getting on our phones instead.
I don’t want to get into the whole “when I’m with friend X, I tell my friend Y im bored on whatsapp; then when I get with friend Y, and make plans on whatsapp with friend X.” read it again if you’re slow – the whole being on your phone while you’re out or in, with your friends is a bit retarded – Live an out of body experience, third-eye see yourself: you and your friend looking down your phones and sitting next to each other. It’s sick. And we all do it.zac-efron-group-texting-tinder.gif

If you don’t enjoy a friend’s company, stop hanging out with them; period. If you enjoy someone’s presence, give them your full attention; done.

Doing things just to post stories on Snapchat.
Now, there’s something positive in that. Most of us fear social rejection, so we want to prove to our social groups that we are active and doing something every day. It is getting most of us more ‘alive’ (AND buying clothes solely for instagram potential is getting people more trendy – and the fashion business working) But, again if you’re doing whatever you’re doing just to prove something to someone/anyone else – and most of us are – DO NOT simply do it!

You create your social image on social media, it’s no secret.
Social media gets you awareness and serves as a bridge between you and your dreams, you and the people you want to be associated with, and you and your friends. But, sometimes turn off your phone, appreciate your surrounding, and give value to your personal relationships.
