Food Blogger Pro has really upped my food blogging game.

Since joining Food Blogger Pro, I have seen a 2000% increase in my blog traffic! I’m not saying that when you join Food Blogger Pro, you’ll automatically see blog growth. I mean, we’re not talking magic here.

But we are talking an amazing place to LEARN what you need to do to grow your blog. The resources available are amazing, especially for those just starting out.

When I started blogging, I knew absolutely NOTHING that I needed to know. But I didn’t know what I didn’t know, you know?

I wasn’t getting any traffic. That I did know.

So, I spent hours, days, weeks and months googling and trying to make sense of this blogging thing.

This wasn’t just a hobby for me, I wanted to make Went Here 8 This successful – a site that offers readers something awesome.

Then I learned about Food Blogger Pro. I knew I needed to give it a shot. What I was doing just wasn’t working.

So I got on the waiting list and when enrollment opened up I joined. It was one of the best decisions of my blogging career.

How Food Blogger Pro Has Helped Me

When I started blogging in November of 2016, my monthly page views were a dismal ~500/month. And they stayed that way for many months. Like I said above, I just couldn’t figure out how to grow. When I joined Food Blogger Pro in May 2017, my monthly page views were 937 in that month.

I’ve now been a member of Food Blogger Pro since May 2017. Last month (May 2018) my page views were 23K!

To top it off, I was finally starting to make a little money (mostly thanks to another course that I’ll talk about in a different post – sign up for my email list in the sidebar to make sure you don’t miss it!).

A lot of this growth can be attributed to things I learned on Food Blogger Pro.

One of the biggest improvements has been my food photography.

I never believed I could have the beautiful photos that so many other food bloggers have because I wasn’t a professional photographer. But Lindsay has some amazing videos that helped me understand food photography immensely! Check out the evolution:

There is also a huge community on Food Blogger Pro. There are so many opportunities to make connections with other food bloggers, PLUS they have experts on there that will answer questions for you in the forum. It’s like having a consultant at your fingertips. Check out the experts HERE.

I have had so many questions answered in these forums. It’s the first place I come when I have a problem.
