  1. Why can\u2019t I just upload them to the MLS and forget about it? <\/strong><\/em> Once your photos are uploaded to the MLS two significant things happen.\u00a0 First, they are resized \u2013 made smaller for storage purposes \u2013 which makes them virtually unusable for anything else.\u00a0 Second, and maybe even more importantly, once you upload those photos to the MLS, they belong to the MLS.\u00a0 So, because we want high quality photos that we are free to distribute anywhere, we ask you to upload them twice- once to the MLS and once to ewmrealtors.com.<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    2.\u00a0 How many pictures should I upload?<\/em><\/strong> The answer is simple \u2013 as many good ones as you have.\u00a0 I would recommend at least 8 pictures and never less than 5<\/strong><\/em> if you want the pictures to be picked up on all of the other sites that ewmrealtors.com sends to.\u00a0 You can also upload more photos to ewmrealtors.com including high resolution.<\/p>\n

    3.\u00a0 Be sue to also include your branded virtual tour.\u00a0 The MLS requires the unbranded version.\u00a0 You can also add many more comments to your listing on ewmrealtors.com<\/p>\n

    Here are two videos to help you out \u2013 at a minimum you need to make sure you have at least 5 photos on MLS and ewmrealtors.com. Special thanks to Karen Ross who created these tutorials.<\/p>\n

    Now \u2013 let\u2019s look at some advanced steps. Layering is an important concept in internet marketing.\u00a0 The idea of adding some additional uploads will add to your SEO on every listing.<\/p>\n
