Hi, my name is Shoshana. I'm one of the ambassadors for Snotes. I want to show you how easy and fun it is to make a Snote. You can make a Snote with either a pretty basic account or purchase a premium account. Premium accounts give you a lot more options including the enigma machine. Let's walk through this together. I've already created my premium account and logged in so I can go straight to create and share. Next, we'll give our Snote a name. I'm going to call mine hello for my friend Emma. You'll want to choose an animated theme. As you can see, there are tons of names to choose from and a bunch of different categories. I'm going to pick this one because Emma loves astronomy. When you create and share Snotes, you'll see that these animations really bring your Snotes to life.

Now, let's type in our words. You can use up to 20 characters per line on a Snote. Here's what I'm going to say. Hello, Emma. I made you a fabulous and nifty Snote. Color is next. As a beginner, you may want to stick with the basic black because those are the easiest to read. I like to keep my Snotes a little bit more vibrant. Once you really get the hang of it, you can use all sorts of different colors and backgrounds. You can also customize your Snote with some really amazing tools that are built into the generator. Premium users have expanded choices of colors, fonts, shapes and animations. Get adventurous and check out phrase jumble, and axis, and layer buttons. Then for the ultimate in Snote secrecy, try out the enigma decoder. I'm going to use Helvetica as my font but you can use whatever you like. Now, it's time to for us to preview our work of art. We want to review our Snote in the viewer and make sure it's readable and fun. Use the sliders to change the perspective or rotate freely. After it meets your approval, hit save. Then you can share your Snote via email, Facebook, Twitter or text message. Don't forget to use #Snotes so we can see your creations, too. Now that you're finished and saved the Snote you've created, you're ready to share it with the world. Good luck and have fun.
