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.

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.

Create Nutrition Labels for Food Blogs with Nutrifox

Back in 2014, Food Blogger Pro launched a free tool for our community called The Nutrition Label Generator. This tool allowed members to generate quick nutrition labels for the recipes on their blogs or websites.

But there were a few problems with The Nutrition Label Generator as it was originally built:

  • You couldn’t edit the ingredients, so you couldn’t control the accuracy of the nutrition facts.
  • The generator exported images of your labels, which was a pain if you needed to update and re-upload the labels to your site.
  • Nutrition information from the label wasn’t included in your recipe’s structured data (more on why that’s important here!).

To make the tool more valuable for recipe creators, we decided to make it it a separate product from Food Blogger Pro –– it’s now called Nutrifox!
