Welcome to Local Guides @gopireddy6699 there are lots of ways to contribute that will help your community. Congratulations on reaching Level 5. I'll move this post to the intro post for July where you might like to tell us some more about yourself.
Contributing on Maps
The best ways to contribute and get points are
Add new places
Add meaningful quality photos to places
Edit places to update them to correct information.
Review and rate places you’ve experienced and tell us about them
Add photos to places you visit, most places deserve two to three photos, one of the outside of the place, one of the inside and perhaps a product shot. Some places may deserve more such as large stores, tourist attractions or cultural landmarks.
While contributing is a lot of fun and rewarding, I always caution people about growing in points too quickly. Organic growth a little at a time is always best. Those who shoot up like rockets sometimes are making low quality contributions and may have contributions removed with a subsequent loss of points.
For everything you contribute, always think to yourself, would I find what I'm about to add useful? If the answer is yes then go ahead and do it, otherwise think about holding back.
Never review places you have not personally visited or used. Good luck in your journey as a Local Guide.
Contributing on Connect
Whether you want to share or offer Travel Advice, share photos and stories of your favourite discoveries, talk about photography or talk about Maps and mapping or maybe you like to organise Meetups like photo walks or geowalks or foodcrawls there is a board here for you. Remember that Connect isn't a general social network, socialising as a Local Guide is important but please try and stay on topic. There are loads of great tips in this forum Helpdesk for how to get the most out of Connect. Remember to always uphold the Core Values of Connect.
If you haven't already consider introducing yourself on this post
I am Priyanshu Singh from small village of Uttarpradesh,(U.P). Actually I don't know about local guide program in previous year.
But I Know about that in 2017. Actually it will be fun to upload beautiful places on maps like monument, historical places. Actually there is many more place in village to see but no one know about her,due to absence of images.
I actually hardly get time to this but however I manage that.
Due to study and ambitious in nature.Sorry for bad English I actually belong to village so it is not good.
