Eat Blog Talk | Megan Porta

In episode 334, Megan chats to Katie Jasiewicz, author and owner of Katie’s Cucina, about mistakes made by veteran bloggers and how to avoid them in order to let your business flourish with the times. Katie has been blogging for 12 years. For the first couple of years she shared her recipes with family and friends as a way to fill up her time. She never imagined that she would be able to make this her full-time job. In 2014, she quit her marketing job to become a full-time blogger. It became an increasingly flourishing business the more she learned about the industry. In this episode, she shares what she has learned and compiles a list of recommendations for us based on her experience. - Don’t underestimate the importance of SEO. - An SEO audit can point out technical mistakes and help you write optimal blog posts. - Expect slow and steady growth. - Regularly update your About and Home page with relevant information (i.e. seasonal recipes and credentials). - Maximize video content and related social platforms
