What Not to Focus on When You Start a Food Blog with Taryn Solie
Description
Taryn from Hot Pan Kitchen has been a food blogger for a handful of years and shares things she WISHES she would not have focused on when she started out:
- Logo/Colors/Website: Define your brand, but don't spend a bunch of money or time on it initially.
- Diary-style writing: Include your personality in your writing, but don't make it all about you. Focus on your audience and SEO strategies when writing.
- Spending a lot of money on equipment: Use what you have and build from there! Don't let limited equipment keep you from starting.
- Backdrops: Go cheap to start until you figure out what you really like. There are a ton of affordable DIY backdrop options!
- Choose your courses wisely: Do some research, find out which ones are the most talked about/trusted/recommended. Then pick ONE. To start, focus on photography, Pinterest and SEO.
