Serve Up Yummy Articles for your Blog Readers

Are you looking for a fast way to add appeal to your blog? Try adding recipes! It’s an easy way to add content that people will “eat up”. Everyone eats and most people cook, at least a little bit. But, how do you get recipes that you can use on your blog? There are numerous places to find recipes and I’ll give you a few ideas in just a bit, but first let’s discuss some legalese.

Recipes are not public domain. There are copyright laws that apply to recipes, especially the directions/instructions and collections. I recommend that you check google for “recipe copyright” to read the full story. Basically it states that recipes can be copyrighted, so you can’t just copy and paste them or type from a cookbook. That being stated, there are other (much easier) ways to get recipes that you can use on your blog.

Now, let’s talk about 4 ways to find recipes that can be used on your mom blog.

Your Very Own Recipes

We all have recipes that we make on a regular basis at home. Maybe a favorite dish that is easy to make and everyone loves? Do you have a specialty? Or just a handful of favorite dishes?

If so, they are yours to publish as you wish. Enter them into your blog.

Family & Friends

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?

Ask your friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, etc. to contribute their favorite recipes to your collection.

Find a Ghostwriter

Another way to get recipes for your blog is to hire a ghostwriter to write them for you. This is a great way to save time and focus your energy elsewhere be it on your website, marketing efforts, or something else. Keep in mind that hiring someone will cost money. However, for most the cost is worth it when you look at the time and effort necessary to do it yourself. You’ll have more time to focus on other aspects of your business. Also, you can assign a project to a freelance writer and have it back quicker than you might on your own. You might check out elance.com or shelancers.com for starters.

Private Label Rights Recipes

I’ve saved the best for last. My favorite way to get recipes for your blog is to buy PLR or private label rights recipes for your use. Why do I love PLR so much?

You don’t have to write the recipes yourself.

You don’t have to pay big money to have someone else write them.

You can change the recipes as much or as little as you’d like.

You can use and reuse the recipes as much as you’d like. You can even compile them into a downloadable cookbook that you can sell from your site.

You can get tons of recipes for cheap. Some PLR memberships sell them for less than $1 per recipe.

Every PLR service has its own rules, so check it out before buying.

One last tip: For best results, edit your PLR recipes to personalize them. An easy way to do this is:

Modify the directions.

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 you know how very easy it is to add a recipe section to your blog. I hope you’ll consider getting started right away so you can attract hungry readers.
