It’s that time of the month again, friends! But this time…it’s even more special.
And that’s because we published two new courses for our Food Blogger Pro members this week, and we know you’re going to love them:
Hey hey hey! New course day!
Today’s new course has been on my bucket list since I started here at FBP 3+ years ago. We talk about monetization a lot on Food Blogger Pro, but there are a lot of considerations and decisions to make when you decide you want to make money from your blog.
Enter: today’s new Blogging as a Business course!
Hello hello hello! And welcome to our part one of our four-part blog series on Food Blogger Pro’s migration to WordPress!
Well…let’s back up.
If you’ve been around Food Blogger Pro for at least a few months, you’ll know that we recently moved our entire site from a CMS (that’s customer management system) called ExpressionEngine to the CMS we all know and love, WordPress.
This was a huge project that we’ve been chipping away at for years. Since we relaunched Food Blogger Pro on WordPress in April, we’re ready to share our story with you, our lovely readers!
Over the next four blog posts, we’ll publish the story of how we went from saying, “Man, it would be great to run Food Blogger Pro on WordPress one day,” to having a stable, thriving WordPress-based membership site. We’ll focus on the processes and systems that we used to take this project from start to finish (and beyond!).
What’s beautiful, full of your own content, and ready to become a freebie or product to help support your blog?
An eBook!
We love eBooks. In fact, one of Pinch of Yum’s income-drivers is an eBook; Tasty Food Photography has been bought and downloaded over 10,000 times. 🤯
We already have a few courses on creating your own eBook that cover the planning, writing, and selling processes. And now we’re covering design in our new course, Designing your eBook!
Do you hear that?
New course day!
I hear it, too.
New course day!
That’s right…
NEW COURSE DAY!
Can you tell we’re just a bit excited? 😉
We published two brand new mini courses today for our members, and we can’t wait to tell you about them!
One will help you work in a more focused way, and the other one will teach you some simple ways you can add emojis to your blog posts, forum threads, and more. 💃🎉
Here are the deets:
Schema. It’s a tough word to say, isn’t it?
It’s kind of like Bjork. You think you know how to pronounce it, but the first time you speak it out loud you find yourself doing the ole’ name + mumble combo in an effort to conceal the fact that you’re not 100% sure how to say it.
For a long time I felt the same way with my general understanding of schema. I felt like I kind of understood it, but I wasn’t 100% sure. After realizing that I wasn’t 100% sure how schema markup worked I decided to go on a schema research frenzy (like I do…).
This post is a condensed review of that research, written from a food blogging perspective.
That being said, if you’re not a food blogger you should still keep reading. Schema markup is a concept that all bloggers and website owners should understand (and implement)!
I know that a lot of you read the words “schema” and “markup” and you think “really complicated.” Thankfully that’s not the case. The good news with running a food blog is that there usually isn’t any manual coding you have to do to use schema markup on your blog.
Hope you’re having a rockin’ Tuesday.
We wanted to send you a quick email because we got some news from WordPress HQ today: WordPress 5.0 (aka. the Gutenberg release) will be live this Thursday, December 6.
Because most of our members are using WordPress and because this is a sizable update, we wanted to send you a couple FAQs and some quick resources that will help you out with this transition:
Woo hoo! Are you ready? It’s new course day!
I always love new course day, but I really love today’s new course.
Imagine having a tool that combines all of your social profiles, integrates with WordPress, and keeps you organized.
Sounds too good to be true, right? Wrong!
That tool is CoSchedule, and it’s the topic of July’s new Food Blogger Pro course!
Happy New Course Day! aka. one of my favorite days of the month.
If you’re new ’round these parts, welcome! We publish a brand new course for our members every single month, and this month’s new course is kinda special.
It’s a Made by FBP course where four of our team members unpacked some of the biggest questions you had about blogging. Here were the results:
