May Blogging Newsletter - Connect in-person with fellow food bloggers, keyword research resources, and more!
Hi there Reader,
Welcome to this month’s Blogging Newsletter! We’re delivering this email to you to:
- Give you a little recap of some of the biggest news to come out of the blogging industry in May.
- Tell you about some cool events that will help you accomplish your goals.
This is a jam-packed newsletter, so let’s just dive right in:
1. Get some mega discounts off of Tastemaker’s in-person retreats! 🎥
Tastemaker, the company behind the super-popular food creator conference by the same name, is hosting some in-person retreats about video and SEO, and they’re giving Food Blogger Pro followers an opportunity for some discounts:
SEO Summit, October 4–5
During this 2-day event in Brooklyn, NY, you’ll focus on a deep dive into SEO with Mediavine, TopHatRank, and other to-be-announced guests! Get $180 off through the end of June 2023 with discount code FBP180. Learn more and register here.
Food Videography Retreat, July 20–23
Want to know how to create compelling video content, and the skills and best practices for how to make the most of it? Then this in-person workshop in Portland, OR is here to show you how! Get $200 off through the end of June 2023 with coupon code FBP200. Learn more and register here.
2. Go beyond GA4 setup in this free webinar replay! 🤓
Are you familiar with TopHatRank’s free SEO for Bloggers webinar series? If so, you’ll know how valuable they can be, and the replay for their most recent webinar about GA4 is now available!
In this webinar, Melissa, Kayle, Casey, Andrew, and Arsen answer questions like:
- Is there a “best way” to add your GA4 tracking code to your website?
- How will ad companies calculate RPM going forward?
- How can you get reports to track pageviews over sessions?
- Can you link Google Search Console to GA4?
- And more!
It’s a good one, and you can find the full replay here.
3. Auto-publish your Instagram Stories?! 🤯
We saw that two popular social-scheduling tools now help creators auto-publish Instagram Stories, and we’re super excited about the possibilities here!
Why? Instagram can be a bit of a time-suck. But with scheduling Instagram Stories, you can be more mindful about the time you spend on the app by scheduling the content you post there rather than logging into the app (and getting side-tracked by all of the videos, photos, and content there) each time you need to post.
Plus, it’s a great way to plan out any sponsored Stories you have scheduled so you know they’ll get posted when they need to.
Check out these how-to articles from both Buffer and Later to learn more about the Instagram Story scheduling possibilities!
4. How to find low-competition keywords. 🔎
How nice would it be if you can easily find low-competition keywords that you can potentially rank for?
That’s exactly what you’ll learn to do in this step-by-step article from Search Engine Journal!
These tips will help you identify content gaps and use search trends to discover keyword opportunities for your content. Included are tips for tools like Answer The Public, Google’s Keyword Planner, and ChatGPT.
5. Some can’t-miss resources from the Food Blogger Pro team! 👋
We publish lots of free resources each month, and we wanted to highlight a few just in case you missed them because they deal with keywords and getting more traffic to your site:
And that’s a wrap on May’s Blogging Newsletter! What will June bring in this wild and wonderful world of food blogging? We’ll soon find out. 😊
See ya next time!
