Freelance writing jobs

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.

To keep from violating any copyright laws, you can not just take recipes out of cookbooks or magazines and type them into your blog. You’ll absolutely want to be sure that any recipe you use does not contain the original directions word for word. Both recipe instructions and recipe collections may be copyright protected. Therefore, you have to use other options.

Now let’s cover my favorite ways to find recipes that you can use on your mom blog.

Your Recipes

Do you have recipes that you make for your family? It could be meatloaf with a special ingredient or salsa with a twist. Take a look at all of the meals that you have personally invented (or altered).

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

Aunts, Grandma & Friends

Do you have a collection of your mother’s or your grandmother’s recipes? How about your favorite aunt?

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

Find 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.

PLR Recipes

And, last, but not least… my favorite way to get recipes for your mom blog is to get PLR (or private label rights) recipes. Why is this my favorite? Easy.

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.

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:

Change the directions slightly.

Change the title.

Add a suggestion for the reader. Perhaps recommend a great wine (or beer) for the meal or a side dish.

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.
