I’m catching up on all the podcasts at the moment and I’m hooked! Loved this podcast, Kelly’s was the first ever book I bought when I was intrigued by food blogging and I had it out again just this weekend as I breathe new life back into my poor neglected food blog! I especially loved what she said about culinary school. I love all the stuff you teach at food blogger pro, but where I need to improve my skills is in my actual cooking! But I never hear stories of food bloggers who studied how to cook – they all just seemed to grow up with it. I never learned how to cook and that’s the journey I’m blogging about now, including culinary school when that kicks off in April. I was feeling a bit of a fraud/loser that cooking doesn’t come naturally to me and yet I have the audacity to launch a food blog – but what Kelly had to say about it reassured me enormously so thank you once more for this podcast.

I realize I'm a bit late to this discussion but I'm catching up on past episodes and I just listened to episode 12 on my walk to work this morning! I find so many of these podcasts inspiring, but listening to Kelly's experience was astonishing! The interview was conducted so well, though, that I never for a moment felt that I need her experiences to find my own way, but it was incredibly motivating to start thinking about finding my own experiences! I also picked up some really great tips - the weekly newsletter sounded fantastic, and I'm going to look into Snapchat as a low-stress potential entry into the world of video. Thanks Bjork & Kelly!

Awesome podcast!!! I love how she sends out a wrap up email at the end of each week with a sneak peek of what’s coming the following week! I have an email list so I’m definitely going to consider doing this. Also, I’ve been shooting video professionally for 15 years but surprisingly, I don’t have a single video on my food blog! =) As she said, video is a LOT of work so it’s definitely something I want to do. Just need to find the time. I loved how she said to “start where you can start”, even if it’s just posting 1 recipe a week. I’m constantly feeling guilty that I only post once a week, but right now, it’s the best I can do so I’m going to try and just accept it and do my best to post quality content. I’m hoping someday I can do what she did and turn it into a career. =)

I have been listening to the show for the past few weeks and enjoying it. I learned from Kelly the importance of batching video production and surrounding yourself with pros who understand video!

I'm always humbled and impressed how fellow bloggers are so willing to share their lessons learnt. Invaluable! Thank you Kelly and Bjork. Kelly passion is evident, as is her drive and know-how. What I really took from this is that while we'd all love our partners to take the reins of either the techie or foodie, for those of us who are solopreneurs we have just as much opportunity and reason to make a success of this multi-functional world of food blogging. Whew we're not alone! Kelly's book is much hoped for; to take me, and others who read it, from Dummies to Bloggin' Darlings!

Hi Bjork! Thank you for another fantastic podcast – I look forward to these every week! I am a fairly new blogger, currently straddled between my newfound passion and working full time. I really enjoyed Kelly’s story (what an inspiration) and loved her takeaway about doing the best you can and being consistent, even if that’s just one blog per week. That is such important advice for me because I have so many goals I’d love to achieve but am definitely time restricted at the moment. But I am doing the best I can, and as Kelly said, its quality over quantity – amen! I’m not sure if the giveaway applies to Australia, but I have put Kelly’s book on my Christmas wishlist! 🙂
