I hope by now that you have completed your homework from Day 3<\/a> and you now have some good property pictures on your listings.\u00a0 Today we are going to focus on what to do with those pictures now that you have them.<\/p>\n

Let’s start with the basics:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. How many pictures should I upload?<\/em><\/strong> The answer is simple – as many good ones as you have.\u00a0 For the purposes of the ewm.com site and the sites we feed, 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.<\/li>\n
  2. Should I just include pictures of the property?<\/strong><\/em> No, I think it is a great idea to also put up common area or community pictures.<\/li>\n
  3. Why can’t 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 – made smaller for storage purposes – 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

    Here are two videos to help you out – 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 – let’s 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
