You might be wondering why I’m posting an extra article this week. I wouldn’t go to the trouble unless it mattered. This is something I’m genuinely excited about because it helped shape Fed and Fulfilled into what it is today.
Today I want to share the single most important resource I used to start and grow my food blog: Food Blogger Pro.

What is Food Blogger Pro?
Food Blogger Pro was created by Bjork and Lindsay Ostrom of Pinch of Yum. They built this resource to share their experience—what worked and what didn’t—and to help aspiring food bloggers build successful sites and businesses. The platform offers more than 300 instructional videos, practical blogging tools, an active community forum, and technical support to guide beginners through the process of starting a blog from scratch.
Highlights of Food Blogger Pro
- Step-by-step setup for WordPress blogs
- Content planning and creation strategies
- Basics of DSLR photography
- Food styling and photo editing tips
- Social media setup and best practices

How Food Blogger Pro helped me start Fed and Fulfilled
I’d been thinking about starting a food blog for years. I adore cooking and baking and regularly followed food blogs, but the idea of launching my own site felt intimidating. I worried about WordPress, photography, recipe quality, and whether I was “good enough.”
Everything changed when I discovered Food Blogger Pro through Pinch of Yum. At first I hesitated because it costs money—was it worth investing in a blog that hadn’t even launched? After reading testimonials from bloggers I respected, and considering the potential to learn faster with guidance, I decided to give it a try.
The membership is flexible; you can sign up month-to-month, which was perfect for testing the waters. From the moment I started watching videos and participating in forums, my confidence grew. The tutorials are clear and easy to follow, so I could work through the technical setup step by step.
As I progressed through the courses I made consistent progress. Members also get access to Q&A podcasts, email tips, and a community of bloggers. That support was invaluable—knowing others were learning and sharing their experiences kept me motivated.
Is it worth the investment?
For me, absolutely. Food Blogger Pro gave me direction and helped me avoid many early mistakes that can cost time and money. Without it, Fed and Fulfilled likely wouldn’t exist in its current form. The cost is small compared to the value of learning to set up and run a blog correctly from the start.
If you’re curious, trying it for a single month is a low-risk way to see if the platform fits your needs.
How to sign up
To join, visit the Food Blogger Pro sign-up page. Enrollment windows may open and close seasonally, so if you miss a deadline you can join the waiting list and receive notice when registration reopens.
While you wait, there are free e-books and other resources available to help you get started on content planning, photography basics, and more.
Food Blogger Pro made a significant difference for my blog. If you’re planning to start a blog or want to improve one you already have, it’s worth considering. Share this post with anyone who might benefit from turning a hobby blog into a business.
Thanks for reading—new recipe coming soon!
