Monetize Your Social Media With Snips Trending News

Content is the key to building your audience and spreading your influence on social media. For influencers, content should be frequent and consistent, and it should educate, entertain, or inspire. This can be successfully achieved with a variety of organic, sponsored, and relatable evergreen content. Your social media strategy is what keeps your following growing and gets you those brand partnership deals.

Snips Trending News is a content discovery platform with thousands of real-time articles from top news sites and publications. Trending News puts real-time breaking news from around the world at the top of your feed. Our influencers can search thousands of articles across different publishers, categories, and keywords.

Give Your Sponsored Content a Rest

As an influencer, balancing organic content and branded posts is key to remaining authentic with your followers. Not every social media post should be with a sponsored brand. Sharing an article on a current news topic keeps your content relevant and fresh. This also gives you an opportunity to engage with your fans by sharing content to discuss and show you care about their interests. This all goes back to the purpose of your influence: to educate, entertain, and inspire.

Did We Mention You Can Make Money?

Trending News was created for influencers as a way of complementing their organic content strategy. Not only does it serve as a great way to engage your followers with organic content, you can also monetize it across your social networks. Through Snips, brands can sponsor your Trending News stories with Social Impact campaigns -- a short, targeted interstitial advertisement shown to your followers when they click to view your content. These campaigns are performance-driven, allowing you to earn on a cost-per-view pricing model. So the more engaging content you share, the more you can earn!

If you’re worried about bugging your viewer with an ad, the short advertisement includes a “skip ad” option for those that aren't interested, and still be taken to your shared content. You can continue the work you already do while adding an earning capability to it. It’s also super easy to do and takes very little of your time. It’s a win-win!

How It All Works

1. Browse the categories or search by keyword to find great content to share with friends and followers.
2. Click the “Snip it” button to snip the link. You can also add a custom tag to make it more personal.
3. Share the link, along with your caption, on social media, websites, email, or anywhere else.
4. When fans click your post, a targeted Social Impact ad is displayed to viewers.
5. You earn revenue with each ad displayed to viewers.
