Recipes for Your Blog: A Recipe Each Day Is Just What Your Blog Ordered
by Arika Lewis
Are you scratching your head, trying to figure out how to get
more content on your blog without writing all day long?
Sometimes it can be hard to come up with interesting topics that
your readers are interested in reading. And, how do you attract
the search engines to your blog anyway? The answer is "Recipes!"
By adding a recipe-of-the-day to your blog, you'll ensure that
you've always got fresh, yummy content for your visitors to "eat
up". But, how do you find recipes that you can use? Before I
share some of my favorite ways, let's get the legal bit out of
the way.
To keep from breaking the copyright laws and getting yourself in
a bit of trouble, you can not just copy and paste recipes or
type them in. They are not public domain. Both collections of
recipes and recipe instructions may be copyrighted. I recommend
that you search google for "recipe copyright" to read the full
scoop. But suffice it to say, you can't just use other people's
recipes legally. You have to use other methods.
Now, let's talk about 4 ways to find recipes that can be used on
your mom blog.
Your Recipes
Do you have recipes that you cook at home? These might be
recipes that have been passed down to you, that you've created
on your own, or that you've adapted to your family's tastes.
If so, they are yours to publish as you wish. Enter them into
your blog.
Friends & Family
Does your family have a recipe that has been passed down from
generation to generation? How about something your favorite Aunt
brings to Christmas dinner every year that everyone loves?
Look around the Thanksgiving dinner table and ask everyone to
share their recipes. Then, start asking your friends, neighbors
and co-workers.
Hire a Writer
The second method that I'd like to share is to hire a
ghostwriter to write articles for you. Now, many people don't
think about using a ghostwriter in this way, but it can
certainly save you much time -- that you could spend in other
ways.
Private Label Rights Recipes
The fourth (and my personal favorite) way to get recipes for
your blog is to purchase PLR recipes. The great thing about PLR
recipes is:
You don't have to stress your brain trying to come up with all
the recipes yourself.
You don't have to pay the big bucks for a writer.
You can change the recipes as much or as little as you'd like.
You can split them up and add them to multiple blogs. You can
pretty much do whatever you'd like with them to create a
product, freebie or something else.
You can get tons of recipes for cheap. Some PLR memberships sell
them for less than $1 per recipe.
Of course, every PLR site has its own rules so be sure to read
them before you buy.
One last tip: For best results, edit
your PLR recipes to personalize them. An easy way to do this is:
Change the directions slightly.
Give the title a bit of pizazz.
Add a little something to it - i.e. suggestion of foods or
drinks that would go well with the recipe.
Now that you know how easy it is to add recipes to your blog,
you can get started right away. Your blog will go from bare to
bountiful.
