It is easy to find amazing posts that blown my mind on this thread and what a typical naivete Vietnamese like me share to you now would not sure whether it perfect or not; however, I still believe that 5 facts about my 'Local guide" journey would not make you surprise but could make you know how much this program mean to me whenever you read it.
No.1: Won a challenge was created by my special Local Guide fellow
Honestly, I became a Local Guide due to my husband’s inspiration and he was a person who not only supported me since the very first days when I was a beginner but also challenged each other that who would get higher level on the day that Google announced officially about Local guide Connect live 2020 program. Finally, I was a winner in this “battle”.
No.2: Set 5 rules for my reviews of places where I come
-
Take photos before eat or using services, take photos from surround to detail.
-
Ensure at least 4 basic evaluation criterias for each places: address, space, staff, quality of food/ service. Besides, I also review whether they have parking area, toilet and other facilities or not)
-
Reason why people should or should not come there
-
Price and promotion programs
-
Feelings of mine about it
No.3: Create lists of must come places and find soulmates to get there and experient them
There were various type of places that I listed down but majority were restaurants.
Some first times, my friends believed that we just came there to eat or experient but gradually they found out my lists and realised we not only coming there to fill up our friendship but also aiming to get a review on Google Map. The truth was disclosed when they saw I took a lot of photos, everytimes, everywhere but I rarely pose them on my social network accounts. Overall, after understanding what I did with those photos, my friends were also curious about Local Guide and I had chances to spread my passion to them; hence, some
of them became Local guides like me then.
No.4: Bought a latest version of Iphone mobile only aiming to improve quality of photos posted on Google Map
It is probably said that nonsense or over react but I did it. I have to keep this fact secret if I don’t want to make my husband gets dizzy =))
After my wedding, I decided to spend a big amount of lucky money from my relatives to bought this phone because I didn’t want to attach low quality images taken by an old-fashioned cell phone of mine to my reviews anymore. Surprisingly, beautiful photos inspired mood of sharing very much. Everything I try to do with Google Map would make me happy because I know someone need it.
No.5: Set a target: at least 01 contribution a week
Going somewhere and creating something new to contribute for Google map became a habit of mine. Sometime, I felt uncomfortable with myself if the un-reviewed list still waiting for me or once I went to some places but at that time I was not convenient to review it immediately. That is a feeling of a person who has something on mind.
Yay !!! All these facts come from the bottom of my heart about what I experienced with Local guide during last time. Last but not least, play a Local Guide role I’ve found myself more dynamic and eager to devote for community - these thing that I have not ever done before. Hopefully, you - a person who are still reading these sentences, would feel how much meaning of this program to me. Thank you !!!
