Vast Resource
I’ve been listening to the podcast for the past few months and it has been a huge help in so many areas as I navigate starting my own food blog. Bjork does an excellent job asking questions and summarizing the answers from his guests. I appreciate the wide range of content. It’s truly a vast amount of trustworthy knowledge, advice, and real world experiences. It’s super valuable on its own but it’s worth is compounded when paired with the FBP membership. Keep up the stellar work. Thanks for all ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Jenn Lueke Grew to 1.7 Million Followers with Budget Meal Planning Content

Q: What was the turning point that made you realize this could be a full-time business?

The realization came gradually as data showed certain series and budget-focused content resonated deeply; by late 2023 she left her corporate job to pursue it full-time, driven by steady growth, ads, and then Substack taking off as a core revenue stream.

What Food Bloggers Need to Know About AI Search and the Fight for Fair Traffic with Adam Gallagher from Inspired Taste

Q: What role do you see for the community in influencing this ecosystem, and how can creators engage constructively on platforms like X and LinkedIn?

Engage in calm, evidence-based conversations, tag the right decision-makers at the platforms, share actionable examples, and maintain a respectful tone to increase the likelihood of real, productive responses from engineers and product teams.

What Food Bloggers Need to Know About AI Search and the Fight for Fair Traffic with Adam Gallagher from Inspired Taste

Q: What should creators do right now to push back or adapt without burning bridges with search engines?

Focus on advocacy, share concrete examples with screenshots of problematic AI outputs, push for default experiences that link directly to creators, and use coordinated industry feedback to prompt changes from the search platforms while continuing to produce valuable, high-quality content.

What Food Bloggers Need to Know About AI Search and the Fight for Fair Traffic with Adam Gallagher from Inspired Taste

Q: Adam, can you walk us through what you've seen as Google's shifts have changed the game for food publishers and how it affected your traffic?

Traffic can spike in impressions with AI overviews, but clicks to actual recipes plummet when AI surfaces simplified or branded Frankenstein recipes; the core issue is the misalignment between what users see and what actually drives them to the publishers' sites, especially when branded content is weaponized in AI outputs.

How to Write a Cookbook Proposal and Land a Book Deal with Sally Ekus

Q: How is the book proposal structured and used in pitching?

The proposal is treated as the business plan for the book, including an overview, table of contents, marketing strategy, audience, platform, author bio, and sample material, all designed to answer what the editor needs to know to assess a traditional publishing deal.
