Receipt Blog Standing Out by Seasonal Vegetables - The Seasoned Vegetable

Image
The Seasoned Vegetable blog was created by Elaine Lander who lives in Sacramento, California. In college, Elaine read Michael Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma and became a vegetarian. It is no surprise that her blog started with vegetable-based food recipes. As the blog grows, it is no longer exclusively about vegetables. The blog now provides meal plans and healthy vegetable-centric recipes with an emphasis on eating seasonally. For Elaine, the need to claim a stake in the blogging world came from a simple desire to connect with others over healthy, plant-based cooking. Elaine always loved cooking, and was mostly self-taught. Her college studies in sustainable agriculture also helped.  When she saw a gap that people are interested in healthier eating but don't know where to start, she decided to dig into it. Elaine takes cooking blogging as a fun job, which consumes a lot of time. She spends 40-60 hours a week on the site, dividing her time between research, writing for ...

How to Write Content That People Will Want to Read

One of the biggest secrets to success when it comes to blogging is knowing how to write content that people will want to read. Note that this isn’t really about the way you write. Or at least that’s only part of the puzzle. Instead, writing content that people will go out of their way to read is all about choosing exciting topics, giving them great titles and knowing what it is that makes people click. Clickbait A good place to look for some answers is to ‘clickbait’. Clickbait is basically any content that is designed to encourage clicks, even if it isn’t entirely honest in how it goes about that. Normally clickbait titles are purposefully provocative or misleading and this gets people to click on them. For instance, you’ll see things like ’10 Tips to Transform Your Body – Number 4 Changed My Life!’ or ‘You’ll Never Believe What Happens to This Woman in This Shocking Video!’. For most people, the curiosity/promise of the title will elicit a click even if the content doesn’t live up to...

Create a post, share said post on Reddit, Google+, Twitter, Facebook… rinse and repeat. Simple! But what if you don’t have time to update your blog with new content every day? Does that mean you cannot do any promotion that day? Of course not! It simply means that you should look for ways to promote your old content to get repeat traffic from old posts. Lightning can Strike Twice Say you created a post on Bruce Lee, uploaded it to your site and then shared it on social media and it went somewhat viral. Maybe it got you thousands and thousands of hits on that day alone and then trailed off for the next few days. Does that mean that you’re done with that post just because you already shared it once? Of course not! An article on Bruce Lee is what you would call ‘evergreen’. That means that it will remain re...

One of the most effective ways to do all these things is to add video to your site. Not only is video highly engaging and difficult to look away from, it’s also highly persuasive and very personal.

Therefore, a practical plan is to build traffic and subscriptions. If you are new to blogging business, you need to understand the importance of subscribers and learn multiple methods to traffic and subscription generation. 10 Action P...

Recipe Blog Focusing on Healthy Vegetarian Food - Naturally Ella

Image
The Sacramento-based blogger Erin Alderson started Naturally Ella in 2007 for a good reason. Her dad's heart attack was a wake-up call to her change towards healthy diet. She realized that her family wasn't making nutritious choices, and the daily diet for her dad, herself, and whole family members must be changed.  This major awakening not only led to a healthier lifestyle but also generated a sustainable blog income. For Erin, neither cooking nor blogging was in her blood, but somehow she made it. “My backstory is not that I grew up with an Italian grandmother in the kitchen,” she says with a laugh. “Cooking was definitely not in my blood—fast food was in my blood.” And of course, she didn’t exactly feel at home in the kitchen. But the strong self-determination for change made her a successful blogger and cooker. Erin found an unlikely solution in blogging. By writing about her experiences and recipes online, she decided that not only could she learn about healthy eating, sh...

Avoiding Traditional Niches and Trying Something New

When you start to create your blog and attempt to earn money online, the most important decision you’ll make is to determine what subject (niche market) you want to focus on. What topic do you want to be writing about day in and day out for the next several months? What subject out there has a big enough audience but isn’t too competitive? What subject is highly monetizable? This is something that can cause a lot of people stress and in many cases, it can even prevent them from making a decision and getting started! But instead of being frozen with indecision, why not instead try going for something a little different? Great Examples of Unusual Niches When choosing a niche, the big problem a lot of bloggers have is that they think only in terms of popular niches that already exist and that are already getting a lot of attention. Common examples of popular niches include fitness, making money online, business, finance, gardening, going green, travel, dating, computer games, music, films...
