I would create an extension to the snap ecosystem, which would be called "snap graffiti". Snap graffiti would allow you to attach a geographic location to a picture. These pictures could be anything, and anyone could see the pictures by being near the location. They would only hang on to the location for a certain amount of time. This in and of itself is not a business plan. But I would then allow these pictures to be connected to economic activity. For example, I have a bunch of iron pipes in my garden which could be taken to the waste disposal arena. Any teenager could do this for me just by carying away the metal. I would be able to "snap graffiti" the pile of metal in my garden, and tag it with $5. A bored teen could then knock on my door and carry away the metal. They would get $4.50 and snap-chat would take a small service fee.

  Doing meaningful things is risky. But the riskiest thing of all is to do nothing meaningful. Death comes either way. You can be an advertiser or a passive middle man. You can lie, cheat, steal, and sell your way through life. You can watch yourself die, and civilization pass away into a spiraling clusterfuck of anxiety and broken dreams. Or you can buy State Farm business insurance. The insurance that will set you free. Call a representative today.

For an idea what kind of income you're looking at from such a business. Imagine 4 million of their nearly 200 million users, do a $5 task every day. After credit card fees of 25.05 cents per transaction [1] that would leave 24.95 cents to snapchat for every transaction. That would be around a million dollars a day in income. Not terrible. And on valentines day, they could allow users to exchange a $5 task for a $10 coupon to Olive garden. Olive garden would, presumably give them coupons like that for free. If a million users chose that exchange, that would be an additional $4.5 million in income. [1] https://bandcamp.com/help/selling#fee https://bandcamp.com/help/selling#fee
