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. đ¤Ż
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!
Thatâs rightâŚ
NEW COURSE DAY!
Can you tell weâre just a bit excited? đ
We published two brand new mini courses today for our members, and we canât 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. đđ
Here are the deets:
Schema. Itâs a tough word to say, isnât it?
Itâs 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 oleâ name + mumble combo in an effort to conceal the fact that youâre 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 wasnât 100% sure. After realizing that I wasnât 100% sure how schema markup worked I decided to go on a schema research frenzy (like I doâŚ).
This post is a condensed review of that research, written from a food blogging perspective.
That being said, if youâre 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 âschemaâ and âmarkupâ and you think âreally complicated.â Thankfully thatâs not the case. The good news with running a food blog is that there usually isnât 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:

Back in 2013 when we first opened the doors to Food Blogger Pro, another website was also getting its start: Pro Food Blogger.
Since then, Food Blogger Pro grew into a thriving membership site full of passionate, driven, and hard-working food bloggers, and Pro Food Blogger flourished into a go-to resource for food blogging, photography, and traffic tips.
See any similarities? We did, too.
We realized there was a need to simplify the branding of our membership site and Pro Food Blogger’s resource. It didn’t make sense to have two brands with similar names doing similar things.
That’s why we’re excited to announce that we recently acquired Pro Food Blogger!
Friends! It’s that time of the month again: new course time!
But first, some background. Pinch of Yum recently hit an amazing milestone on Instagram: 500,000 followers.
You read that correctly. Half of a million.
This kind of growth didn’t happen overnight. In fact, it didn’t happen over a year or two.
No, this feat happened over the course of many years. A lot of hard work, trial-and-error, and content creation went into getting the Pinch of Yum Instagram account to where it is today.
So we decided to teach you how they did it during an awesome event we held this week called, “How We Grew Our Instagram Following to 500k.”
Why I’m excited today:
That’s right! There’s a brand new course hot off the presses on Food Blogger Pro, and we think you’re really going to love it.
But first, a riddle.
What do microphones, pop filters, editing software, interview guests, and scheduling apps all have in common?
They’re all essential to the podcast making process! And that’s exactly what our new course is about: recording and editing a podcast.
