If you got a quality camera, then there is no need to invest in a photographer every time. You can just click your picture on your own easily. When your picture or video looks decent and clear, we will continue watching it. But if it doesn’t, there are many chances that a viewer will skin yours and jump to others who post quality stuff. So make sure you are posting good-quality pictures on your profile.
Use all the features of the media
