    How To Start A Food Blog - Plattershare - Recipes, Food Stories And Food Enthusiasts
    Table of Contents

    Food blogs have become quite popular in the last few years, and more people are starting to use this platform to share their favorite recipes. For those who have a real talent and know more than just a few recipes, this is a chance to grow a network of people who will follow their instructions and create some of the most delicious dishes. Also, this can be a great way to connect with other chefs and learn some new techniques and dishes from different parts of the world. It may be frightening to wrap your mind around the thought that you’ll have to be in front of a camera, but you can also start a blog that will have recipes and photos of finished meals without having to put yourself in front of your work. For starters, just think about starting a blog and from there on, it will be smooth sailing with a few simple pieces of advice.

    Choose your domain name

    This is something your potential readers will stumble upon first and it needs to be catchy and memorable. Be sure to connect the theme of your blog with your domain name, just to give your readers a heads up about what they may expect and what type of cuisine you’re interested in. This will show your interests, let everyone know what they can expect to find on your blog, and help you grow a network of potential readers and followers much faster if you’re not hiding behind a name no one can understand. Aim for something short and catchy because you want everyone to find you easily and remember your name so they can recommend you to their friends.

    Work on your website

    Always keep in mind that you’re running a food blog and everything needs to look beautiful in order to attract people. That means that the first thing everyone who visits your blog sees is your homepage and the design of your blog, so it has to look professional. Start by hiring a professional who will know how to build your website, help you choose a proper theme, and teach you how to manage posts. Also, make sure your blog is unique and different from all the other food blogs, so try to add some new twist to it. It could be something simple like people leaving photos of their versions of the dishes you posted or something similar.

    Show your working area

    A small number of your readers will know how exhausting the whole process that goes into creating one post looks like. Set up an area where you’ll be able to search for new recipes and create a mood board that will announce your future projects. This doesn’t have to be anything special, as a small corner with a desk and a chair will help you create an area where you’ll be able to work in peace. In order to stay more organized, equip your work area with supplies from Winc online, which will help you work on your projects and always stay on track with all the things you need to do.

    Start working

    After you’ve taken care of the technical part, you can start working on your first post and actually shaping the content. Firstly, think about how often you want to post something new on your blog and how much time you have to spend on creating each post. It would be wise to plan a few dishes ahead and use leftovers to create one specific post on how to use them in order to make an entirely new dish. This will allow you to save some money on groceries, but also provide additional content for your readers. Always think ahead and try to find dishes that will have people interact in the post’s comments and share their thoughts with you.

    Starting a food blog is easy – the hard part comes when you actually start engaging with people and receiving comments on your work. Use that to improve and tweak your style because that is something that can only improve your work and help you gain more followers. Once you finish your first post, you’ll see how easy it is and you’ll have a real food blog before you know it.
