Suzanne Martin deleted her social media accounts years ago after going through a traumatic personal experience because she felt it was taking away from her life rather than improving it. After a while, she eventually became the best version of herself by doing this. There was peace, but there was also a detachment between her and the events going on in the community, something that many legacy platforms are known for.
The concept for the smartphone app RealSpot emerged after what Suzanne refers to as a "rock bottom and an affirmation." She describes how she changed from being a social butterfly to literally bleeding from the nose in life. She began painting everything after discovering that music could heal her. She layered thousands of songs onto abstract art that spoke the phrases she needed to speak on her bathroom walls and doors. These enormous paintings quickly combined lyrics with the Polaroid pictures she was shooting every day. She wanted her kids to know that this was their life, not just a gallery of matted and framed pictures that you see on a staircase.
But at the same time as her oldest son's obsession with social media began to intensify, she was also searching for a platform that would safeguard mental health and involve businesses and the community. One of the major issues facing our world today is the social dilemma, which is aptly highlighted in the Netflix documentary of the same name. Suzanne has provided the social media experience that the masses have been longing for—one in which positivity and authenticity rule.

The CEO of RealSpot, Suzanne Martin, is changing how we record and share life's special events. RealSpot invites users to take fast photos of their favorite locations, appreciating the spontaneity of the moment without the expectation of perfection. The platform was inspired by the simplicity of disposable cameras. RealSpot's philosophy is to free people from the weight of criticism and overanalyzing so they can completely engage in the present while building a sense of communal support.
The mission behind RealSpot
Small businesses are dealing with never-before-seen difficulties in these unsettling times. RealSpot wants to enable users to contribute to the success of local companies because it understands the critical role they play in creating dynamic communities. Through this channel of communications users act not only as active witnesses of their life paths but also they become true representatives of the firms they sincerely support which helps local business on its long way to the recognition of their audiences.
RealSpot's cutting-edge features enable people to get an emotional feel of their surroundings by having an engaging relationship. Users belonging to this feature can get updated and excited about trendy destinations close to them by just tapping on the "vibe" page which will suggest to them the hottest places. Social media in business is a major facilitator of storytelling whereby customers that share images of products add to the big story of every business which grows its visibility and influence in the community.
RealSpot stimulates people to understand the special narratives of the neighborhoods where they live and identify the power in imperfections. Also it is the symbol of authenticity and achieving the connection. Better than a photography app, RealSpot is because of its value-oriented platform, it encourages the co-creation mode among its members.

Q. What motivated you to create RealSpot?
RealSpot was founded with the intention of capturing the essence of moments free from the burden of perfection. I wanted to establish a platform that honored genuineness and spontaneity in a world where social media influencers and carefully selected photos rule the scene. This mindset was perfectly embodied by the concept of a disposable camera, which captures life as it happens, pretense-free.
Q. RealSpot is bringing small enterprises and regular people on an even playing field. How are they cooperating for the good of their communities and one another?
Companies now have another accessible, democratized method of connecting with the community and fostering genuine experiences. RealSpot gives residents of a town the power to decide its financial future by democratizing influencer marketing for small companies in two ways. This is achieved through a platform that is impervious to manipulation or photo-shopping. By working together, they're not only improving the town as a whole but also giving the locals a means to augment their income by simply taking pictures of their daily life. Motivating in every way.
Q. Along with earning money, users can become RealSpot community ambassadors and have fun. How does one go about doing this?
These users are known as "Spotters." Photographs are taken by spotters around the neighborhood. Businesses that participate and pay $25 a month for visibility and incentive reveal will have their photographs posted on the Vibes page with simply their name as a caption. Each customer i.e. a spotter and business has information capturing QR code. And the QR code can retain an influencer just like a fingerprint and enables impeccable AI reporting of the community activities undertaken by the influencer every day. When a friend joins the room a partner person comes in and quickly captures a picture and then the counter starting ticking, showing the amount of the growth that happens when their souls meet.
Q. Could you elaborate on the details of RealSpot's "vibes" feature?
Hotspot of the moment discovery is exactly what the "vibes" feature of RealSpot is designed to deliver as it guarantees that the user is always informed about the trending hotspots in one's neighborhood. The vibes page would help readers select any place to come and cheer up such as a just opened cafe or a local party. This is no less critical as it encourages community engagement and open-mindedness, as it brings an environment of education and entertainment under the same safari.
Q. When using RealSpot, what message do you want users to remember?
In the end, we are positive that users will be enthusiastic to see a vital point of commonality among their communities as well as preserve the richness in imperfection. RealSpot is, indeed, more than taking pictures; it is about preserving long-lasting memories and sharing them to people in a way that promotes not only positivity but also encouragement. It is our aim that people will have the confidence to change their communities and generate lifelong experiences.
