How to write a food blog: 5 Tricks & Tips
1. Create an image with your words
Creating an image with words is always a great art and most people enjoy reading such post. Particularly once you are a food blogger then you must have so many things to tell your readers about the food. The unique specialty of the food, taste of that food etc come under this. If that food is traditional then you can share the information about the region where that food belongs to. When you are describing such things you must show your writing skill to create an image of the food with words.
2. Tell personal stories
Every food has a story, similarly, every food blogger has his own story to tell his readers. It may be something happened in the past or few words from him in a pensive mood. Many food bloggers also share interesting conversations what they had with others, mostly those are the funny conversations or weird moments. Actually, all such stories help readers to know more about the blogger. AND this is also very important for your blog’s growth because it connects you with your readers. Many seasoned bloggers are also emotionally connected with their blog readers and share very sad moments of their life with readers too.
3. Post YUM pictures
YUM pictures mean pictures where food look much more delicious and yummy. Most of the time such YUM pictures draw the attention of first-time visitors of your blog. More professional pictures mean more referral traffic from social media and other websites.
Though taking professional pictures are not easy to do, it will take the time to learn and you can realize such gradual improvement of your photography skill in near future. You will definitely need some photo editing tools (like Adobe Photoshop etc) to give some professional touch to your snaps.
I will write a dedicated post on photography tip in future because I am still learning to improve my photography skill, particularly I face issues regarding sufficient light because I do not have any special lighting arrangement to take my food images.

4. Write recipes in simple words
Most of the time when readers are just interested to read recipes they directly jump to the recipe section. So you should NEVER PLAY WITH the recipe part. It is better to KISS, I mean KEEP IT SIMPLE & SHORT (not stupid, ha ha). So that nobody needs to read the recipe twice to understand what you actually did. USE simple words and a short description. If you want to describe something further then write in a separate NOTE section. It is always advisable to use a recipe plugin to add a professional look to your recipe part.
5. Find some X factors
X factor is an unknown factor what you do not make intentionally but still, it happens because you have adopted that skill. This may be the TONE what you maintain throughout the writing or some hilarious stories of your life what you have shared or your flawless writing skill. It can be anything beyond these what came in my mind and so I mentioned here. Find some X factors within you and do some trial and error and check what your readers will like most. But remember whatever you will do DO THAT HONESTLY.
