First be authentic.  I'm not going to go into details, but you should have an idea of what I'm speaking of.

If you're going to offer a service for hire to this community, blog posts that provide clear examples of your work and the benefits to a real estate agent would be key.  Initially you won't have a following, so interacting with others on their posts (without self-advertising) will help build an audience.

Hi LIli,

Introduce yourself.  Blog about what you do.  Read other posts and comment on them.  I believe there is a newbie group.  Just jump in.  We also have weekly zoom meetings on Tuesdays at 2:00 pm EST.  You're welcome to come.  George Souto posts the details and the link.  Liz and Bill Spear talks a lot about blogging in their posts.  I'm sure you'll get tons more answers today.  Good luck!

As an aside, carve out a niche.  For example, once a week or once a month post some seriously flawed images you have found on listings or were sent to you.  Don't violate copyright law, but satire may make your post newsworthy. Also be consistent and perhaps offer up tips for taking the best real estate images.

Interacting with others is the best way to grow on this platform, in my opinion.  Comment on at least 20 blog posts each day, write at least one blog post each day for others to comment on, and reply to all comments received.  Q & A seems to be its own clique which I am not really part of so I have no advice with regard to it, haha.  Most of all, Have Fun!!!  That's what I do.

Blog about what you are an expert in. In other words, if photography is your thing, start with a simple post sharing a tip or technique. This is a very welcoming community but you have to be authentic. We are very pleased to see new people join and contribute. There is a daily onslaught of fake and/or spammy personas so you'll excuse the skepticism of us members that don't know for sure what type of person that has just joined. It's easy to establish yourself as authentic as you begin to create content. Have real interactions on other people's posts. Link to a website in your profile that works. Show an actual profile photo and not a stock image (or use a logo image if you don't want your real photo shown). We're here to help so please reach out to any here as you can see from all the helpful comments in the Q&A responding to your question.

Hi Lili,

Welcome to ActiveRain and Q&A. This is where I start my day with a cup of coffee. I don't have much to add to what has already been said. I emphasize the value of persistence and patience in blogging and interacting with the membership.

I clicked on your profile and tried to go to your website but it doesn't appear to be an active site. You might want to check that out.
