Introduction – Introducing you to our super simple 3 stage system in order for you to have success on your food blog.

Stage 1 = The Content – Let’s start with the content and what kind of content you need to be producing in order for stage 2 and 3 to work.

* 101 Ways To Promote Your Next Recipe

Welcome to the latest Podcast here at Food Blogging FM and today is all about a very simple look at food blogging and what you need to be doing in order to turn your zero traffic into a lot of traffic.

If you want to reach 1000 page views a day, 2,000 page views or even 10,000 page views a day then this is how to make it happen.

This is our own method for the success of Recipe This and we have used it to go from zero to a million page views and it works perfectly!

This involves a lot of rinse and repeat for each and every new recipe that you produce or any other post you put out on your blog.

None of it is rocket science and none of it is difficult. I find it is more of a case of people wanting to sell you software or programmes that make it seem like you can’t achieve decent traffic without it, or that you need to pay for an expensive Pinterest training programme when you really don’t.

Just follow these as your 3 step plan, like rules of your food blog and you will hit the high traffic levels before you know it.

Stage 1 = The Content

No matter what people tell you content will always be king and traffic will be queen. You have to have the amazing content in order for you to build traffic through to your content. You have to keep your readers engaged so that they will share your content and join your mailing list.

The idea is that every piece of content is your best, is of excellent quality and if you were the reader you would love it and return for more.

Next on the agenda is to see what your readers already like and give them more of the same. We are all in different micro niches so you have to ask yourself what you would be looking for if you were them and give them more of the same.

Take me for example and the content at RecipeThis.com. We are very much focused around kitchen gadgets for families.

My blog is already 14 months old. I started it on the 15th of November 2015 with a selection of back dated blog posts so that it didn’t look bare and so that I could start sharing my food experiences with my readers. That was the start and it is hard to believe that we have been at it for 14 months as it feels like it has been a lot longer than that.

But we have loved it and the best thing about our food blog is connecting with our readers and growing a business from scratch.

If we had not learnt during the last 14 months who our audience was and what they wanted we wouldn’t have grown to more than 140,000 social shares during that time. We wouldn’t have a regular reader base and we wouldn’t be making money from our blog.

We have done all this over the last year and a bit by lots of market research and lots of content calendars planning exactly what we were going to publish and why that content would be important to our readers.

Along with this we have spent time and effort on making sure this is content that we like making ourselves and is not just for the sake of making money or traffic growth. What we wanted to share in this food blogging Podcast is the minimum steps that we should ...

Here at RecipeThis.com we can’t believe that it is 2017 already and that we are celebrating a brand new year. So without further introduction “happy new year” and we hope you all have an amazing 2017 full of happiness.

We are starting the New Year as a family of 5 and it is so exciting to finally have the family we have dreamed of. It has taken us a while with a lot of fertility issues but we are here and happy and that’s my new years resolution “to be happy” and I recommend the same for you!

One of the things that really makes me happy is FOOD. And cooking foods for my family is so much fun and brings me so much pleasure!

Anyway, this Podcast (our first for 2017) is the start of a special theme that we are having for all our Podcasts this year. It is an awesome theme and one we have been looking forward to doing and we thought it would be great that for the 1st day of each month we celebrate the month ahead.

What I am talking about here is seasonal food. Foods that are in season and are perfect for eating right now. Foods that is cheaper to buy now because they are in season and taste amazing.

Sometimes we all get into habits (well I know I do) I have certain foods that I love more than others and I will eat them all the time rather than exploring what is in season at the time.

I should be enjoying more produce rather than spending all my time eating broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and courgette all year round.

If you’re like me this is your chance too. You can stay in season, you can grab seasonal deals from the supermarket and you can think about how organic what you’re eating right now actually is.

Or you could be a food blogger like me and just want to know when things are in season so that you can cook with those ingredients on your own blog. Either way we look forward to sharing with you our take on seasonal produce.

January Foods In Season

So the first question you’re probably wondering is what is actually in season in January? Well lots and lots and lots. There are also plenty of seasonal vegetables and you’re bound to find at least one that your fussy kids will actually eat.

Below you’ll find the top 10 fruits and vegetables in season during January along with plenty of recipe ideas of how you could eat them!

Foods In Season #1 – Brussels Sprouts

Every Christmas the conversation always starts the same for us. Why do people dislike sprouts and why are they so expensive and hard to come by in Portugal? Well this is like a few of our favourite in season foods, when it is popular in one country and then not so much in another.

We love our sprouts and we just wish we could eat them all the time. Our teenage son on the other hand thinks they are the devil and he only eats them if we bribe him with an amazing chocolate dessert.

Though nowadays we love them so much that we would rather eat them all than give them to someone else that is really not that bothered by them!

Brussel sprouts are also very low in calories at just 43 calories per 100g. That is of course if you’re serving them without butter or bacon. But I love them on their own with a little salt and pepper alongside a chicken roast.

Brussel Sprouts Recipe Suggestions

For the brussel sprouts fan that wants something different than just butter I have three suggestions. Firstly Kalyns Kitchen does a delicious job of cooking it in a casserole with sweet potato.

Whichever one you choose to cook first it will certainly be the most amazing side dish.

Foods In Season #2 – Broccoli

Next on the agenda is the trusted broccoli. Broccoli is one of those vegetables that has been around forever that the majority of us love to eat.

I am one of these people with broccoli being on our shopping list every week all year around.

My blog is just over a year old. In that time I have an average of 350 shares for every recipe that I have published to my blog. Some have been better than that some have been worse. It is thanks to all this social sharing that I have excellent SEO results with SEO being the leader in the traffic that comes through to my site.

But if you want to safeguard 500 social shares to your next blog post there is nothing better than doing a round up. In case you’re wondering what a round up actually is, then it is those blog posts you see such as “top 10 chicken recipes” that feature recipe images and links to other people’s blogs.

People do them in the hope that the people featured will go on and share the content via their own social media channels and that it might just go viral and get them a lot of shares.

But I personally find that they can be rather time consuming and like them to be good quality content and this has meant that I have not got that many of them out.

But looking at the ones I have done I have achieved the following results:

* The Ultimate Guide To Pork Shoulder = 1500 social shares

* The Ultimate Guide To Cooking With Eggs...
