Happy Thursday – we’ve got an exciting course update for you!
Finding enough time to do all of your things is hard enough. And when you finally do have some time to work on your food blog, it can be really easy to inadvertently waste some of that time doing other things that don’t matter as much. That’s why I think this course really resonates with everyone, whether you’re just getting started with blogging or you’re a seasoned pro.
If you’ve been blogging for longer than two days you’ve probably noticed something:
Things change.
This thing works, then it doesn’t. That thing paid really well, but now pays pennies. This thing doesn’t send you much traffic, but then it does.
It’s overwhelming to keep up with it all. I know from experience.
I also know that overwhelm is almost always a negative emotion that breeds inaction, either through giving up (“I’ll do it tomorrow”) or diving head-first into learning but never actually implementing (“I’ll move forward once I understand it a little bit better”).
It can feel like the sky is falling when you build momentum in a certain direction only to have that momentum squashed by a change in the advertising industry, a change in your ability to connect with fans, a change in an algorithm, or the emergence of AI.
But it’s also really important to remember that there are things that will always stay the same with blogging or building a presence online.
As food bloggers, we spend so much of our time thinking about flavors, ingredients, and presentation, but what about structure? No, not the structure of a recipe, but the structure of your blog itself.
If you’ve ever wondered how many categories your blog should have, how to optimize them for SEO, or how to clean up your categories, you’re in the right place! In this post, we’re digging into the right way to categorize your recipe posts so you can boost SEO, improve user experience, and keep your content organized as your blog grows.
Starting a food blog can feel overwhelming. There’s no shortage of advice on how to grow traffic: be consistent, post great content, share on social media, improve your SEO… the list goes on. Even when you follow all the “rules,” you might find yourself asking:
Why isn’t my blog traffic growing faster?
This post isn’t about the usual tips and tricks. Instead, it’s about shifting your mindset — from chasing traffic to understanding the why behind what drives it. When you see the internet through the right lens, things begin to click (pun intended). Let’s get right into it!
