Moms: Here's How to Find Recipes for Your Blog

By Nicole Dean


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 legalities.

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 talk about 4 ways to find recipes that can be used on your blog.

Your Very 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, type them into your blog. They are yours to do with as you wish. Anything that you pull directly from your own head -- is free to use on your blog.

Family & 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.

Hire a Writer

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

The fourth (and my personal favorite) way to get recipes for your blog is to purchase PLR recipes. The great thing about PLR recipes is:

You aren't stuck coming up with all of the recipes yourself.

You don't have to pay someone else to write them for you.

You can edit 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.

Of course, every PLR site has its own rules so be sure to read them before you buy.

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.

Give the reader some additional tips. Maybe a favorite side disk or a way to speed up the preparation.

You now know just how simple it is to add a "recipe of the day" to your blog. I hope you get started right away so your blog bring in some hungry readers.
