For me the 13% is worth it based on how much it would cost me to pay for the individual platforms, pay for photography (they pay for that) and write my own copy that would be high enough standards. 

Another option could be to leverage any hobbies or skills you have, like photography, tutoring, or crafts, to create a small business.Savings vs.

Also to offer direct marketing knowledge and resources to BP members so they can be successful in their marketing campaigns.I love real estate photography and that's how I launched my REI career.

It's a great place to stay to get away from crowds and if your main goal is to visit Cade's Cove over and over.. which has been what I have typically done cause I like the photography opportunities there.I have always loved it over there, but like I said I need to stay connected at least part of the time, and it is really difficult over there and limited food options.

I inherited some deferred maintenance and it shows (I don't do virtual tours; meticulous google phone photography only).

I recently got my drone license so maybe we can network and line some things u if you need some Ariel photography. 

Professional Photography provides an immediate return on your investment and the cost is reasonable ($300-$1000).

If you have creative talent, go to work for a real estate photography company, so you can make good money, get in a lot of houses, start learning the market. 

That will include assisting with getting the property prepared to go to market, arranging photography, marketing the property, holding open houses and showings, then of course overseeing the lengthy disclosure/escrow/closing process.

I like the thorough photography idea, thank you Cory.
