<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I remember when I first starting blogging there was so much I didn\u2019t know (still so much actually). I had no clue how I could even get people to know my blog existed.
\nThen I discovered photo submission sites. I only really knew of a couple of them, but soon I started finding other sites which also started to boost my traffic.<\/p>\n
So today I decided that I\u2019d compile a list of photo submission sites, with the new food blogger in mind. When I started, I wished that someone had made this list (I even googled for it!) so I hope it helps at least a couple of you out. For those of you who aren\u2019t bloggers, you might enjoy checking out these sites for new recipe ideas!<\/p>\n
In my opinion, FoodGawker<\/a> and TasteSpotting<\/a> are the two best. However, they only accept the best quality of photos, rating your photos on composition, exposure, sharpness, and appeal. I also like FoodBuzz<\/a> (you\u2019ll need to sign up to use it \u2013 but it\u2019s a valuable social media tool for networking as well!).<\/p>\n There are also some sites which have a certain classification (only healthy food, paleo, low carb, ect) so I\u2019ll put these here:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n HealthFreak<\/a> \u2013 This is a Tumblr site that I love. In a nutshell, it\u2019s just a collection of fantastic, healthy food. I submit photos here, but I also go there just to get new ideas for recipes. It\u2019s also a great way to get the \u201cTumblr audience\u201d onto you. Your recipe has the potential to get hundreds of notes and reposts.<\/p>\n Healthy Aperture <\/a>\u2013 Once again, this site specialized in healthy eats.<\/p>\n BKFST<\/a> \u2013 This Tumblr site specializes in delicious and esthetically pleasing breakfasts.<\/p>\n ChowStalker<\/a> \u2013 I love this one. I\u2019m trying to eat lower carb\/higher protein and this site focuses on the Paleo, low carb, and caveman type diet. The photos on this site don’t have to be good, but I’m sure the moderators appreciate the ones that are!<\/p>\n DessertStalker<\/a> \u2013 This is a sister site to ChowStalker, but obviously it focused on desserts for a paleo, low carb lifestyle.<\/p>\n PunchFork<\/a> – Emphasized on healthy food, this site will also allow you to search for food according to diet lifestyle such as gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, and paleo.<\/p>\n CookBookKarma<\/a> \u2013 This is exclusively for recipes that have been tried from any kind of cookbook.<\/p>\n Other food photo submission sites:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n PhotoGrazing<\/a><\/p>\n FoodEpix<\/a><\/p>\n Tasteologie <\/a><\/p>\n Makes and Takes (spotlight)<\/a><\/p>\n Refrigerator Soup<\/a><\/p>\n I don\u2019t use all these sites because it\u2019s too time consuming, but they are a valuable tool \u2013 just make sure to use the sites that work best with your site\u2019s message. Personally, as far as traffic goes, FoodGawker and TasteSpotting are the best. One of my recipes got noticed on TasteSpotting and FoodGawker and from there, it got pinned virally (on Pinterest<\/a>) \u2013 think over 50,000 times!! Food submission sites can be very valuable.<\/p>\n Also, since I mentioned Pinterest \u2013 pin your food posts! I love getting recipes from other people on Pinterest and people like to get good recipe ideas from YOU too!<\/p>\n Any submission sites you\u2019d like to add to this list?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I remember when I first starting blogging there was so much I didn\u2019t know (still so much actually).
