Food Blogger Pro Helps Your Blog Grow

June 20, 2017 by diannejacob 6 Comments

Start & Grow Your Food Blog
Food Blogger Pro (FBP) helps you grow and learn as a blogger. It’s a dynamic membership site with tutorials and forums, which complements the content I offer here. While I post about writing, book promotion, trends and other issues, Food Blogger Pro teaches all the technical stuff you need to know. Together, our sites comprise a terrific package for bloggers.

Here are some examples of what you will learn by joining FBP:

Want to learn to shoot videos?

You get this video software editing class, along with a nutrition labeling software, when you purchase a yearly membership.

Of course you do! Seems like it’s inevitable. Here’s what FBP founder Bjork Ostrom says about it:

“Video is integrated in every way possible online, whether on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, video ads. This includes videos within an actual blog post, or working with advertisers or sponsors that request video.

It’s obvious that video is the next important step in online content creation, and it’s vitally important that bloggers understand how to create and edit quality videos.

But video isn’t easy. At least not at first. Maybe you’ve tried to create a video or two and you can understand how overwhelming it can be. The good news is that once you learn about a few important tools and how to use them, shooting and editing video becomes a lot easier.

We’ve been doing a lot of video creation lately with Pinch of Yum. Just take a look at our Instagram and Facebook pages.”

It’s true that you can learn it and succeed. One of my clients, Mary Cressler, learned now to do video from FPB and she’s killing it on Facebook with millions of views.

The folks at FBP just created Edit Academy, a three-week virtual class to help you make and edit videos, as a bonus if you buy a yearly membership.

Lots More to Learn

Bjork’s blog posts address creating an income, understanding SEO, growing your blog, building traffic, and the business of blogging, among other subjects. Within the website you’ll find forums on many of these same subjects, where you can ask questions and get answers.

You’ll also find more than 100 helpful podcasts. Many are interviews Bjork conducts with experts on sponsored content, SEO and blogging. And Bjork himself is inspiring, whether it’s talking about how to keep going, or lessons he’s learned from running a successful business and blog. Here’s the full list of podcasts, to watch or read for free.

I’ll close with what Bjork says about running this group:

“Lindsay and I started Food Blogger Pro almost five years ago. We’ve heard from a lot of different content creators who took their passion around food and turned it into a career. And this doesn’t apply to just food bloggers. FBP member success stories come from all kinds of backgrounds and experience levels:

  • Food photographers
  • Freelancers
  • Dietitians
  • Cookbook authors
  • Nutritionists
  • Writers
  • Social Media consultants
  • YouTubers and video creators.

There’s one thing that all of the member success stories have in common: A willingness to work hard and continue learning.”

So if you’d like to join, Food Blogger Pro helps you grow your blog. The fee is $29 monthly. Or save $69 and buy a $279 annual membership. The yearly membership comes with two bonuses: the Edit Academy (usually $129), and Nutrifox.com, a nutritional labeling program (usually $89). I am an FBP affiliate and will earn a small commission if you join FBP.

The enrolment period starts June 20th and and ends on June 27th, 2017. Sign up now!
