Know How To Start A Food Blog And Enjoy The Experience

By Olive Pate


Writing a blog is something that many people have done and continue to do. Most people who do write these write about things they know about and this is usually something they love. They write about cars, pets, how to perform home improvements and many, many other topics. The key here is about content that is formed because of an extreme interest in the subject. When you are looking into how to start a food blog, this guideline will assist you in more ways than not.

The decision about writing about edibles on your blog is, of course, not the last decision to be made. You might want to write about your own meals and how you prepare them. You might be interested in the history of some grocery items or categories of them, such as barbecue items or those you can take with you to eat in the car. The correct pairings of food with an appropriate drink may bring some interested readers.

Another decision will be to identify from what perspective you will be writing. You might write from your own perspective about what is good and what should be done with what. You might also use this time to review what is done in local restaurants. Making your own rating system will help people understand more of what you are trying to tell them as you compare food, preparation, atmosphere or various treatments for different items.

Whatever decisions you make about the content, it needs to be interesting. Many bloggers do not do this and it shows in their hit counters. Bloggers use their sites to earn money by presenting ads, however, if there are no readers or if they do not stay long enough, there is no earning. The only way to keep people on their site is to give them interesting content to read and other resources to explore.

The ads you need are simple to install. There are many Pay Per Click ad networks to sign up with. You create an account, accept a string of code and insert it somewhere on your Blogger or WordPress site. This does not necessarily help you write, but it does help you earn money to offset other activities.

Learn about cooking. Learn about how foodstuff is prepared. Take a cooking or eating history course. Schedule a round trip, of your city, and visit restaurants and diners of various nationalities. Identify what you are interested in. A blog that is just about food would necessarily be so general in nature that you would have a hard time getting people totally interested in it.

Writing content about American, Chinese, Vietnamese and Italian food, individually, might be closer to what someone will be interested in. Find out a few things that are not being written about already. Read as many other food blogs as you can find. Identify what they are not writing about and fill in that void. Decide what the most popular trend is today. It might be fusion. It might be sandwiches. It might be salad, steak, and lobster, actually anything.

You need to be able to have enough information to create something of value. Give your readers something that is not found elsewhere and have a great chance to keep them as yours. This last tip should have been the first, but learn grammar, spelling and the use of all punctuation.
