014: Bjork Ostrom | Food Blogger Pro - a podcast by Elaine Benoit: Food Blogger, Podcaster

After helping his wife Lindsay create and launch her food blog, Pinch of Yum, in 2010, Bjork Ostrom started to wonder: is it possible to make a living from this blog?

One year later, he began publicly sharing traffic and income data the blog generated as a way to document and share the couple's findings with other food bloggers. Pinch of Yum's monthly income reports have been a unique resource for many bloggers across all niches as they have ultimately documented how the Ostroms took their site from a $20/month hobby to a six-figure business between 2010 and 2017.

In January 2013, Bjork launched Food Blogger Pro "with over 250 videos covering the most important things a food blogger needs to know to start and grow a food blog." The site was an immediate success, with an initial membership representing 26 countries.

Today, Bjork continues to run Food Blogger Pro while also developing two new software tools, WP Tasty and Nutrifox.

Bjork’s favorite things in life are watching The Office reruns with Lindsay, all things tech, rainy days, Sage the dog, and a Juicy Lucy with fries.
