In this episode:

Have you ever looked back at your blogging journey and thought, "If only I knew then what I know now"? If you've been blogging for more than a year, you've probably had that exact moment of reflection. The food blogging industry has transformed dramatically over the past decade, and what worked five years ago might not be the best strategy today.

Whether you're just starting out or you've been blogging for years, these nine strategies can help you build a more sustainable, profitable, and engaging food blog that truly connects with your audience.

Listen along as I share my honest take on what I'd do differently if I were starting a food blog from scratch today!

 

 

The 9 points I discuss:

• Start on self-hosted WordPress from day one
• Build your audience with strategic opt-ins
• Email your list consistently and more often
• Focus on video content
• Connect with your audience and understand their pain points
• Create a system for maintaining content updates
• Hire out writing sooner
• Build multiple revenue streams from the beginning
• Build authority through podcasting or YouTube
