Food Blogging for Dummies Paperback – January 1, 2012

I'm so late in giving my review! I purchased this book last year as I decided to start another website; a food blog. Unsure if there was something I needed to know before getting my feed wet in the food niche I picked up this book. I had looked at quite a few others and decided this one would be the overall best choice. It had everything I needed and then some. I did skip over the parts about starting a website because this was something I am already very familiar with. Anyone looking into food blogging or writing should pick up a copy of this book.

This book is the ultimate resource for getting started and then eventually finding your perfect niche in the food blogging world. From the technical aspects to the smallest details that make you successful, Kelly does an amazing job at providing the reader with all of the information needed to enter the food blogging world or refine your current concept. The content is phenomenal and the pictures are a wonderful addition to the book that keep the reader engaged. This is an incredible book and a must read for anyone interested in food blogging.

Highly recommend! Not only is this book full of great information and tips, but Kelly's writing keeps you completely entertained. She is an awesome writer, and the fact that the book is so full of great information for bloggers AND can keep your interest through humor is an added bonus - I absolutely loved it, and highly recommend. Her advice, tips and tricks got me up and started food blogging within a week. No jokes - it's just that good. A+

There is an art to food blogging and this author has it down. She is a very clever writer and her personality really comes through in her explanations and descriptions of what make a successful food blog. This could have been a very dry read, but was very entertaining and informative. All my questions were answered and questions I didn't even know I had were answered. Beautiful photos, too! Now excuse me, but I have to start my very own food blog!

The author makes no bones about Food Blogging being a crowded blogging field to break into. What I liked is she also takes care to point out that there are different goals for different people. For some like me, simple sharing what you are learning is a goal. For others, sharing with family, learning, and yes, even making some online money are a few of the goals shared by many.Each one has different requirements and varying amounts of time as she correctly points out.I felt this book was better than I expected and am very happy with it and how it has helped me start my own food blog.

Will recommend for those who wish to become a food blogger. A lot of great information was presented as well as examples. The author did a great job relaying the information to the public.

This is an indispensable book for anyone starting to write about food. I'm already starting to apply some of the tips on my Facebook foodie page https://www.facebook.com/robb.mclaren.3 and hope to have my food blog up and running soon as well. Especially useful are the sections on photography, an area where I really needed help. Dianne Jacob's book Will Write For Food is also really helpful.

I just started a new job teaching kids cooking classes, and found out I had to start a food blog for the company as well. I was stressing out for weeks until I picked up this book to try to get some helpful tips. SO helpful and best of all made the whole process so so easy. THANK YOU!
