Local Guides Connect Tips and Suggestions for newbies

Hi all Local Guiders,

 

This is Teja from Hyderabad. I have just joined Google Local Guides Connect and I am so much excited that I am playing a tiny role in contributing to Google Maps. Now I can say to all that I work for GOOGLE.

Can you guys give any tips and suggestions for newbies.

 

Thank You
