hi @KishoreHyderabad Welcome to Connect, the Official Community of Google Local Guides

There is a very simple answer. Read as much as you can from the posts, and, when you are ready, and you have nice content to share, try to be yourself. Is the only way.

As this is your first post in Connect, i take the opportunity to give you some information:

• Explore the Forum menu, to see what the various sections are about. You will find many interesting parts regarding, for example, meet-up, or photographic technique. In this section we post photos enriched with our story. 

• Give to the post a descriptive title

• Introduce yourself to the community, tell us about you.

As an extra tips, i would suggest you to Search the community before posting as the same subject can be already being discussed.

Welcome again, I hope to see you soon 🙂

@KishoreHyderabad Welcome to connect my name is @HelloSamsonR and I want to share with you what I love doing the most. anytime I log into connect i try to always visit the https://www.localguidesconnect.com/t5/Share-Your-Photos-and/bd-p/Photos  This place exposes me to the great cultures, discoveries from other fellow local guides and seeing all this, I always get motivated to share my own too when ever I have one, so that other people can also benefit from my discoveries. There are many places just as ermest mentioned, take your time to study the forum well and before you know it you would be familiar with many sections and you would also love to share yours as well. Best Regards

@KishoreHyderabad Welcome to Local Guides Connect!  It took me forever to find this forum, and after I did, I had already reached Level 5.  I think you will find that everyone has their own approach to racking up the points.  I personally take photos of all the businesses when I'm out and about.  It could be something as simple as going to the grocery store.  I try to take at least two photos, one of the exterior of the building and one of the interior.  I will sometimes take photos of the neighboring businesses as well (only the exterior of the building).  I will also leave a review of my experience when I get home, and have time to reflect on my visit.  Those are just a couple of ideas for you.
