A: You will get a message from Team Snapchat that looks like the below message 2-3 weeks after the snap has gone live. At this point it important that you verify your email address.
I’ve been flooded with Snapchat Spotlight questions after posting I’ve qualified for a payout 4 times. Here are the answers to the most common questions I’ve gotten in my DMs. These answers are my own experience and may differ from others .
A: You will get a message from Team Snapchat that looks like the below message 2-3 weeks after the snap has gone live. At this point it important that you verify your email address.
A: my experience is that usually 7-10 days after you get the qualifying message, you get a message with the amount, it will look like this. This message will include a unique access code for HyperWallet.
A: Around three weeks after you get the payment amount you will get an email to your verified email from Snapchat Pay. It will look like this and will require you to fill out some tax forms, takes like 10 min.
A: it took me like 7 days from when I had my HyperWallet approved before I got the money into my HyperWallet account. I recommend you set up auto withdraw. You can send money to PayPal, Venmo or bank account.
A) Maybe! Whether you get paid out I believe depends on how many other videos did as well or better that day. Lowest views I’ve seen from a payout is from 44k views but I’ve personally never been paid out on anything under 120k views.
A: as I understand, there is a team manually reviewing every video that’s qualified for payout to ensure payouts go to those who deserve it. Your video may not have met Snaps payout criteria. Sorry 😕
A: They are looking for original content, do you own the video? Does it have any logos or copyrighted material in it? Is it awful quality or clickbait? All reasons it may not get picked.
A: All of my videos that have popped off have had at a minimum 5 likes to every 100 views. As it’s gotten more competitive in the last week it’s closer to 10% needed.
A: whatever fits your video, you can actually add up too 100 (I tested) but too many unrelated ones can get your video rejected
A: You probably had a TikTok logo on it, it was obviously not your video, it was poor quality or it was just boring.
A: Im probably wrong
A: Snap has a list of approved countries on your website. I’ve def heard people from outside getting paid, I’ve also heard the process takes longer.

Ok, I’ve told this story a few times, but maybe never here. Here we go. 🧵👇
I was about 6. I was in the car with my mother. We were driving a few hours from home to go to Orlando. My parents were letting me audition for a tv show. It would end up being my first job. I was very excited. But, in the meantime we drove and listened to Rush’s show.
There was some sort of trivia question they posed to the audience. I don’t remember what the riddle was, but I remember I knew the answer right away. It was phrased in this way that was somehow just simpler to see from a kid’s perspective. The answer was CAROUSEL. I was elated.
My mother was THRILLED. She insisted that we call Into the show using her “for emergencies only” giant cell phone. It was this phone:
I called in. The phone rang for a while, but someone answered. It was an impatient-sounding dude. The screener. I said I had the trivia answer. He wasn’t charmed, I could hear him rolling his eyes. He asked me what it was. I told him. “Please hold.”
Wish I had the audio of Rush Limbaugh telling me off on the phone on his show when I was six. In the meantime, RIP.
