Hey hey, party people! Do I have an announcement for you…
We just updated our course all about Google Search Console! 🎉
Bjork originally created this course to give you a fundamental understanding of this essential tool, and he covers how to navigate the reports, understand errors, and make changes to strengthen your site’s presence on Google.
And today, we just added a brand-new lesson all about Page Experience and Core Web Vitals.
As a food blogger, ads can be a great way to diversify your blogging income. Your site will earn revenue simply when readers visit a page on your site that has an ad — hello, passive income! 👋
However, you don’t necessarily want to be the person working directly with advertisers to get ads enabled on your site, and that’s where ad networks come in. Ad networks make it incredibly simple for website owners to add, track, monitor, and tweak website ads.
In this post, we’re going to dive deep into the wonderful world of ads, as well as some of the most popular ad networks for food bloggers. Let’s get into it!
One of the most common questions we get from food bloggers is something along the lines of, “How big should the images on my site be?”
It’s not too surprising –– you know that phrase, “You eat with your eyes”? Great photos are an essential part of any successful food blog, so it makes sense that bloggers are concerned with making sure that the photos on their sites are on their sites are the right size for their posts, Google, and site speed.
Image size may seem like a simple enough topic, but it’s actually a bit more nuanced than you may think!
So let’s dive into the beautiful world of food photo sizing.
Yoast SEO is one of the most powerful SEO plugins in the wonderful world of WordPress sites, and an incredibly powerful (and likely underutilized!) feature of the plugin is their FAQ block.
This WordPress block allows you to easily add FAQs (or questions and answers) to your blog posts and pages.
We’ve gotten a lot of questions about the FAQ block on the Food Blogger Pro forums over these past few months, so this blog post will serve as a handy-dandy deep-dive into the ins and outs of using this helpful feature.
If you’ve been blogging for a while, chances are you’ve experienced burnout.
Because when you’re living that solopreneur life, the process of starting and growing your blog can get overwhelming. The countless tasks, to-dos, and responsibilities can really add up over time, leading to a sense of fatigue and overwhelm.
And when those feelings of burnout hit, it can feel really easy to throw in the towel and get discouraged.
Oh hey, friends! 👋
Today is officially the MOST exciting day because we just hit publish on one of our most highly-anticipated courses: ConvertKit!
If you’ve been looking to level up your email marketing game and grow your email list, this is the course for you!
Oh, hey there! Guess what?
We just hit publish on a brand new Quick Win, and I have a feeling you’re going to love it.
And that’s because it’s all about How to Create Step-by-Step Recipe Videos like a pro!
If you’ve started your blog from scratch, you’re a CEO. Did you know that?
It’s one of those things that’s kind of obvious, but we don’t think about it much because it’s… intimidating? Scary? Official? All of the above?
But it’s true. And you’ve probably spent countless hours, days, weekends, and years DIYing it all, creating content, photographing recipes, searching for keywords, responding to comments, and sharing your recipes on social media.
And if you’re making money, working with sponsors, running ads, selling products, and/or joining affiliate programs, your blog is a business.
So let me ask you this: are you treating it that way?
To achieve serious blog growth (both in traffic and in income), you should be.
Hey hey, friends! Do you love GIFs as much as I do?
If so, today’s your lucky day because we just published a ✨ brand new course✨ all about Making Your Own GIFs for Instagram!
Since you’re reading this article, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that you probably love some of the elements of producing content for your blog. You might love the recipe development process, the photography, or the cooking. Or maybe all of it!
And I’m going to go out on another limb and say you probably have a lot of content on your blog (and are generating more and more every month). Maybe you have over 50 posts on your blog. Or over 500. Or over 1000 like we have on our sister site and food blog, Pinch of Yum.
And all of that content (both your new blog posts and the ones that already exist on your blog) takes a lot of time and effort to create. You put in the work; now it’s time to make that content work for you for the long run.
