Are you looking for a fast way to add appeal to your blog? Try adding recipes! It’s an easy way to add content that people will “eat up”. Everyone eats and most people cook, at least a little bit. But, how do you get recipes that you can use on your blog? There are numerous places to find recipes and I’ll give you a few ideas in just a bit, but first let’s discuss some legalese.

To keep from violating any copyright laws, you can not just take recipes out of cookbooks or magazines and type them into your blog. You’ll absolutely want to be sure that any recipe you use does not contain the original directions word for word. Both recipe instructions and recipe collections may be copyright protected. Therefore, you have to use other options.

Now, let’s talk about 4 ways to find recipes that can be used on your mom blog.

Your Recipes

We all have recipes that we make on a regular basis at home. Maybe a favorite dish that is easy to make and everyone loves? Do you have a specialty? Or just a handful of favorite dishes?

If so, they are yours to publish as you wish. Enter them into your blog.

Family & Friends

Does your family have a recipe that has been passed down from generation to generation? How about something your favorite Aunt brings to Christmas dinner every year that everyone loves?

Start passing out blank recipe cards around the Thanksgiving dinner table to collect all of your family recipes. Then, hit up your co-workers and friends.

Hire a Ghostwriter

The second way to get recipes for your blog is to hire a writer. You can usually find a ghostwriter who will create recipes for your blog. If you don’t want to look for a ghostwriter, hit up the local culinary school and see if you can find a foodie who is looking to make some money on the side. Hire that person to type in his/her favorite recipes and you’ll be set.

Private Label Rights (PLR) Recipes

And, last, but not least… my favorite way to get recipes for your mom blog is to get PLR (or private label rights) recipes. Why is this my favorite? Easy.

You aren’t stuck coming up with all of the recipes yourself.

You don’t have to pay the big bucks for a writer.

You can change the recipes as much or as little as you’d like.

You can split them up and add them to multiple blogs. You can pretty much do whatever you’d like with them to create a product, freebie or something else.

You can get tons of recipes for cheap. Some PLR memberships sell them for less than $1 per recipe.

Of course there are some rules with PLR recipes and depending on where you get your recipes the rules vary. For instance, most PLR content providers will not allow you to submit PLR articles to article directories or offer them as private label rights content elsewhere. So, be sure to check the rules before purchasing any PLR content.

One last tip: For best results, edit your PLR recipes to personalize them. An easy way to do this is:

Rewrite the directions.

Change the title.

Give the reader some additional tips. Maybe a favorite side disk or a way to speed up the preparation.

Now you know how very easy it is to add a recipe section to your blog. I hope you’ll consider getting started right away so you can attract hungry readers.
