How to find inspiration, deliver value, and grow your engagement with the Pinch of Yum Team.

-----

Welcome to episode 103 of the Food Blogger Pro podcast! This week on the podcast, Bjork talks to Lindsay and Alana from Pinch of Yum about creating awesome recipe videos.

Answering Questions about Recipe Videos

Spend five minutes on Facebook or Instagram, and I bet you’ll see at least one or two recipe videos in your feed.

Recipe videos are the thing for food bloggers right now, and we always get questions from bloggers about how they can make viral food videos that will help deliver value, boost engagement, and grow followings on social media.

That’s exactly what Alana, Bjork, and Lindsay talk about today.

Today we’re sharing the Q&A session from our recent One-Day Recipe Video Bootcamp event. Alana, Bjork, and Lindsay answer some of your questions about gear, lighting, writing engaging captions, and their personal success with recipe videos in this Q&A.

In this episode, Alana, Bjork, and Lindsay share:

• How video has changed Pinch of Yum’s social media presence
• How to easily keep track of your Instagram statistics
• What kind of lenses and monitors you can use for food videos
• What kind of lighting you should use for food videos
• Why Lindsay doesn’t include links to her recipes on her food videos on Instagram
• What Alana’s two most important food video purchases are
• How the POY team decides on the recipes they turn into videos
• How Bjork makes his famous “Fresh Baked Cookies” ;)
