Join the Google+ 2 Year Anniversary Photo Walk in your city!   

Cities world wide will have having Google+ 2 Year Anniversary Photowalk on June 29, 2013 where anyone with a camera can meet up with google+ participants and walk around the city taking shots of their favorite places. This global event is FREE to anyone!   Registered Google+ participants will have an opportunity to enter 1 photo in each of 7 categories for grand prizes from sponsors.  Last year the prizes were over $7,000 in value and we expect more prizes this year.  

As a real estate agent with a camera you can host a photo walk in in your city, at a specific location or join in an existing global photo walk where ever you are on June 29, 2013. Invite your clients and make it a fun customer connection event!  

This will be the 2nd annual history making photo walk to share with friends, clients, businesses in your community and affiliates. This will be a great time along with enjoying the Google SEO as you post and share this incredible opportunity to connect through photography. 

Google photo walk map

Thirty cities are already on the map so check out the list on this google+ page and then go to the Google+ Two Year Anniversary Community and read the directions on the left and see all the cities that are set up with events.  If you set up a photo walk in your area with an event your link will be on this interactive google map with your name and a link to your event.  

The Event tool on google+ makes it easy for you to set up the photo walk in your city. Check out the event set up in Williams, Arizona and feel free to copy and modify the words to create the event in your area. People can RSVP on the Google+ event and they will be eligible to participate in the prizes offered by the sponsors by using the RSVP tool to prove they are google+ participants. 

As an active member of your community this activity gives you a golden opportunity to participate in the Google driven event, use the hashtags, #G+2yearAnniversary. talk about the photowalk for the next 2 months, share your event and create posts with plenty of blog content and photos to share the fun!  

This is a low cost, high return way to connect with past and current clients along the business community by inviting them to come and participate. It also allows you to connect with photographers in your community sharing photography which is now the key to opening the doors of communication. Digital imagery is how the world is sharing on Instagram, Pinterest, facebook, twitter and google+ so aligning with people who are enjoying photography can only enhance your digital experience and help improve your photography skills just by listening and connecting with those having more advanced techniques.  

The opportunity to engage with the photographers who have signed up for an existing event in unparalleled. If there is not photo walk in your city, create your own photo walk and connect with them after they RSVP for the photo walk or contact a photographer now and do it together. 

Think about how easy this global event makes it to introduce yourself and invite others to come and bring their friends or clients to this history making 2 year anniversary celebration for Google+.  Perfect way to connect with new google+ users and validate why engaging on google+ is so fun taking online relationships to a new IRL- In Real Life level.

Margaret,  so glad you thought this would be fun!  I knew you would!  There is no Baltimore walk set up yet but Stephanie Fecki is a photographer that participated last year.. her google+ link is https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/117827466204625674235/116029916334296947844/posts  Yes, let's talk tomorrow!  Give me a call.  You could actually do a walk at your very special library..

One more way I suppose Google gets all the information for practically free. I wonder if you offer everyone that sells through a chance to sell their home for no commission if it would work.

Carra, this is an inventive way for Google to expand their geographic photo database without having hired help 'pound the pavement'. The results will be amazing.

@Kevin May ~  I am so excited to read you are almost there!  I hope you do start a photowalk and then I can't wait to see your photos!  

 

@Charles Stallions ~  Thank you so much for stopping by! There are a lot of different ways to obtain information and google is just unique in how it harvests that data... 

 

@Silva Dukes  ~  Look at this.. Florida in action!  I would just go start one and just invite people to bring a camera and walk around with you.. take macro shots of flowers... lines in the sidewalk.. angles on buildings.. just have fun!  Thank you for stopping by! 

 

@Margaret Rome ~  I know you are crazy busy.. call me and I will help you connect these dots to make it a customer connection event!  You love photography and your clients love you.. PERFECT to get together with them for a couple hours.. they come to where you set the event.. and who cares if no one comes but your clients.. it's that simple and YOU are sharing google+ with them and how powerful it is!  CALL ME!  

 

@Norman Padula ~ there you go.. and you can tag your photos with your location and they will come up in any google search attached to you.. so if they search Sarasota Bay and you have your photos tagged.. guess what.. you are the person they find with a photo of your area.. I see it as a win win!  How about you?

 

 

@Richard and Beth ~  So glad you came over.. Kathy is a dear for doing this.. Looking foward to seeing your photos! 

 

@Kathy Streib ~ thank you again for sending all your friends my way.. I think it is the perfect way for a client touch that really costs nothing and creates lots of fun!
