Using Snapchat to Create new Content

Are you bored or just looking for new ways to entertain yourself and others? Snapchat is a social messaging platform on which you can send and receives photos, videos, private messages, and more. However, depending on the type of account you have, it may become mundane to continuously post pictures of your pets. Trying to come up with new and engaging content can be quite hard. That’s why we created this guide for you with a few inspirational tips for new content!

Ask Questions

You can do this one directly to a person, or a general one in your Snap story. All you need to do is think of a fun question to ask someone, something they can’t resist but to answer, like “Would you rather be followed by a duck for the rest of your life, or drink one glass of spaghetti sauce every week?” It’s an incredibly odd question, which will undoubtedly get people interested in what you have to say about the matter, so definitely don’t forget to follow up with which option you would pick.

When the situation allows it, you can also interview a friend/family member in front of your camera and add it to Snapchat. In that case, you can also use the same type of odd questions as it makes the video fun to watch!

Share a Recipe

Do your friends start drooling at the thought of your homemade brownies? Or is your Italian vegetable soup to die for? Share it on Snapchat! Set up all ingredients for the dish and either make multiple photos or videos and add captions to show what you’re doing.

For instance, when you chop the onions in a specific size, you can show your friends by adding the size in the captions, and by shooting a video of you chopping the onions.

Make sure to end the series of photos or videos with a picture of the final results and encourage your friends to do the same.

Play a Game

If you have a set group of friends, you can create a group chat. If not, look for some Snapchat usernames online to add to your friend list before you follow this tip.

Send a message in your group chat asking people if they are interested in playing a game with you through Snapchat. It can be as long or as short as you’d like. The goal of the game is to create a short story with each other. So, you’ll send a picture of an object or person in your household and begin the story, like “My cat woke up one morning…”, and you send it to the group. Person number two will reply with a picture of their guitar and the caption “and decided he wanted to learn to play the guitar.” Person three follows up with another photo of an object and a fitting sentence, and so on. It’s a challenge because you need to find a suitable object or person for the story, but you can make it as crazy as you’d like.

Try to save the story as a whole so you can all sit back and watch it play once you finish the entire story.

The Bottom Line

As you can see, there are plenty of ways to keep your Snapchat account fresh and with new content. As an additional bonus, you keep your friends and followers engaged when you post exciting content like this. Now it’s time to go out there and start making new content for Snapchat!
