It’s no secret that Snapchat is insanely popular in the MENA region, especially the UAE. Snapchat influencers are basically as popular as those who have platforms on Instagram, and now, Snapchat’s ‘Spotlight’ feature is being introduced to the Middle East and North Africa.
Usres in the region are able to share their creations broadly on Snapchat, reaching a wider audience, and even giving them the change to *actually* make money.
Hussein Freijeh, general manager of Snap Inc. in the Middle East, said that their “hope is that Spotlight continues to break down barriers to content creation and by democratising both distribution and the ability to earn, encourages Snapchatters to be creative and express themselves.”
So, whether you’re a local Snapchatter, an influencer, a celebrity, or a public figure – it really doesn’t matter on Spotlight. You can still be making $$$ by uploading your creative content. (You just need to be 16 years old and over to earn.)
Get your phones ready ladies.
