For many food bloggers, the ultimate dream is to âgo proâ and turn their blog into a business that can generate a full-time income. Itâs possible, but it takes a lot of hard work, dedication, luck, and diversification to make that much money from your food blog. That last one, diversification, is a concept that people donât often think about when they consider creating a full-time income from their blog.
People often use the phrase âdonât put all your eggs in one basketâ when referring to diversification, but that phrase doesnât really work for what we’re trying to communicate in this post. We like this phrase better:
Fill your empty egg carton.
Okay, weâll be the first to admit that itâs not as catchy, but the visual of the egg carton helps to communicate the point that we’re hoping to make, which is this…
Itâs really hard to create a full income from just one income source (i.e. one egg), but when you fill all of the possible income sources (i.e. openings in the egg carton), it becomes much easier to make that much money from your food blog.
When you think about SEO, how do you feel?
A. đŹ
B. đ
C. đ±
D. All of the above
Itâs 100% okay and normal to pick any of these options (especially the last one) when you’re optimizing your content for SEO. But it really doesnât have to be that way.
It’s a gooooood day here at FBP HQ, and that’s because we just pressed “Publish” on our newest Quick Win, and it’s all about privacy policies!
In this Quick Win, our Legal Expert Danielle answers some common questions creators may have about adding a privacy policy to their sites.
There are lots of different ways that food creators can monetize their businesses. While ad networks might be the main source of income for food bloggers with significant traffic, the income from running ads on your site can be less than satisfactory if you’re getting just a few thousand page views per month.
Alternatively, working directly with brands can be a reliable source of income if you are able to start and maintain a sponsorship. For most food bloggers, developing a blog media kit is the first step in the brand partnership journey!
Oh hi there! We just pressed “publish” on two Quick Win lessons for our Food Blogger Pro members, and they’re both about Tailwind.
Tailwind is a powerful marketing tool that helps creators plan, create, schedule, and promote content to share across their platforms.
As food bloggers, one of the most important things we do is… well, write recipes, of course!
And a lot goes into the recipe writing process: coming up with ideas for new recipes, testing a recipe until it’s perfect, writing down the instructions in a concise way, formatting the recipe on a blog post, and so on.
The more you create recipes, the more you’ll perfect your process, but in this post, we wanted to share some common recipe writing mistakes we see bloggers make. Hopefully you’ll be able to learn a thing or two to help level up the recipes that you share online!
As food bloggers and recipe developers, inspiration for recipes can come from many different places. Your grandmotherâs famous pound cake, a new product at the grocery store, your local Italian restaurant, and yes, other published recipes can all get your creative cooking juices flowing.Â
There are lots of food blogs and cookbooks out in the world, and itâs only natural that you take inspiration from them. Whether you need a little guidance on the process for a complicated baking technique, or want to riff on a unique flavor combination in someone elseâs recipe, recipe adaption can come in many different forms.
Are you creating videos for your blog posts? If so, you probably want to share them on social media.
Videos can be shared on pretty much every social media platform, which is great for getting the most out of the videos youâre producing.
But it can also be a bit confusing because there are different recommendations for each platform. Between the videos you share on Instagram Stories and on the Facebook Feed, the recommended dimensions can vary quite a bit.
Luckily, we have your back. đ This post will be constantly updated with new recommendations so you can be confident youâre sharing the right kind of video to each social platform:
Did you know that one-third of content creators send weekly emails, and less than 26% send an email monthly? Why are so many bloggers, content creators, and marketers leaving money on the table?Â
In my experience as an email marketing strategist, most bloggers arenât taking full advantage of the opportunities their email list offers because they simply donât know the strategies they have at their disposal.
Many people start and run email lists because âthatâs just what you doâ as a blogger, but there is a magical realm of high return on investment, or ROI, you can step into, if you know a few solid strategies and how to implement them!
