We’re all used to the fact that Instagram copied Snapchat. It has its pros and cons. Pro – you can now have the Insta-Snap experience within one platform.

5. Select & publish!

It’s a simple as that! However, as responsible marketers, we must caution against posting the same content in the same way on multiple platforms. Make sure you consider the difference between your Snapchat audience and your Instagram audience. Don’t leave your Insta-fans feeling like they are getting served up seconds. Show a little original love on there too.
