With the explosion of the music scene it’s become a challenge for a DJ to stay connected with their fan base and maintain followers. Social media has made this task a little easier with platforms like Facebook & Twitter. Now its your turn to engage and grow your fanbase by the next big social media service, Snapchat. Why use SnapChat you ask? Because its fun, young and engages fan base in an instantaneous visual medium!

Here are the 5 ways for you to become a DJ star on Snapchat ;)

1. Connect With Followers

Having a strong fan base is a part of being a successful DJ and Snapchat helps you give your followers an authentic peek behind the curtains of the "reality show" that is your daily life. By sending regular snaps to your followers and sharing daily feed from your life is a way for you to show the world who you are both as a DJ and, more importantly, as a person.

2. My Story

The best part about Snapchat is nothing you post in permanent & doesn’t stick around forever. ‘My Story’, gives potential fans a more intimate experience than other social media services because it can be truly authentic - it isn't overly polished like Instagram, not a lot of thought goes into a post as if it were a blog and it stays for 24 hours only.

3. What & what not to post?

Snap regularly! For anyone looking to expand their fan following, snapping regularly attracts interaction. The content needn’t be rocket science, share photos and videos of you DJing with your set-up, making mixtapes in your bedroom studio, or promoting your gigs or anything from your personal life. This helps in creating a mix in your story & keeps your followers entertained.

4. Follow other DJ Producers

Following other DJs & music producers so you can see what these DJs are up to and they will also follow you back! From promoting their albums to sharing funny sketches on their Snapchat, Djs like Steve Aoki, DJ Khaled & so on get their followers hitched to their Snapchat updates.

5. Save Memories

Snapchat updated their app and added an extra feature of ‘Saving Memories’. With the help of this feature, you can now upload a snap from your camera roll or a Snap which was taken a long time back as a new story! This helps when you’re running out of content to share ;)
