Oh hi there! We just pressed “publish” on two Quick Win lessons for our Food Blogger Pro members, and they’re both about Tailwind.
Tailwind is a powerful marketing tool that helps creators plan, create, schedule, and promote content to share across their platforms.
Social media platforms are constantly updating and changing, and it can be exhausting to keep track of those updates to stay current. Pinterest is no exception to this rule! They announced Idea Pins in the spring of 2021 and have been tweaking them ever since.
Love it or hate it, Pinterest is an important traffic driver for food blogs. And based on advice from our Pinterest Expert, Kate Ahl, we know that using a variety of pin formats (Static Pins, Idea Pins, Video Pins) on Pinterest can help improve your performance on the platform and result in greater growth than using Static Pins alone.
So… what are Idea Pins? I’m so glad you asked!

We are going to take a deep dive into the gear that our sister site and food blog, Pinch of Yum, uses for recipe videos – from cameras and tripods to editing software.
Hello friends! It is a wonderful day in Food Blogger Pro land!
We have a brand new Quick Win for you today, all about Quick Tips for Making Recipe Reels on Instagram! 🎥
Are you creating videos for your blog posts? If so, you probably want to share them on social media.
Videos can be shared on pretty much every social media platform, which is great for getting the most out of the videos you’re producing.
But it can also be a bit confusing because there are different recommendations for each platform. Between the videos you share on Instagram Stories and on the Facebook Feed, the recommended dimensions can vary quite a bit.
Luckily, we have your back. 😊 This post will be constantly updated with new recommendations so you can be confident you’re sharing the right kind of video to each social platform:
If you make recipe videos for your blog posts, I know you know that they take a lot of work.
There’s the planning, the shooting, the editing, the promoting… not to mention cleaning up the kitchen after the whole ordeal is over. 😉
So if you’re doing all of that hard work for just one video, is there a way to make that content work for you long-term? A way to take that content and repurpose it in a different way that will allow you to reach more people without doing more work?

Since Pinterest is typically one of a food blogger’s top traffic sources, it’s no surprise that we’re excited about their new Pinterest Predicts 2022 report.
Pinterest Predicts is a “not-yet-trending report” where Pinterest tries to identify the searches and topics that will be trending in the new year. And the reason they produce this report each year is to help content creators take advantage of their predictions via the posts, videos, and photos they share on Pinterest!
If you go to the Pinterest Predicts page, you can filter by category (“Food and beverage” being one of them), so we thought it would be fun to unpack four of their most interesting food and beverage predictions for 2022. Let’s dive in!
Is it just me or does the end of the year always feel like the perfect time to step back and set some blogging goals for the year ahead?

As you’re thinking about your goals for the new year, we wanted to get a feel for what food bloggers are focusing on in 2022 to give you some ideas and inspiration!
We surveyed The Food Blogger Pro community, as well as the team behind Food Blogger Pro and our sister companies, to get their thoughts, and we can’t wait to share the results with you today.
It’s no secret that Instagram Reels are popular now. Like really popular.

While you might initially just think about sharing recipe videos on Reels, there are so many other unique ways food creators can use this social media feature to their advantage. Let’s dive into them!
