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 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, get them on your computer and use them on 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.
Hire a Ghostwriter
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 (PLR) 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 aren't stuck coming up with all of 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 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 buy PLR very cheap. Some PLR services sell their recipes and food articles for under $1.
Of course, every PLR site has its own rules so be sure to read them before you buy.
A final tip: I recommend that you edit your PLR recipes so they are unique. Some ways to do this are:
Modify the directions.
Change the title.
Add a suggestion for the reader. Perhaps recommend a great wine (or beer) for the meal or a side dish.
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.
