This is incredibly damaging, not to mention demoralizing. We work so hard to give our readers recipes often for free , and all we ask in return is that people get our recipes from our web sites. Not social media. This can literally kill off a blog if it happens often enough, not to mention, it breaks the copyright rules of all social media sites to do so.
Your readers will come to your blog again and again because they want to read what YOU have to say. Not yours. So be original! There is a whole world out there beyond your own blog. So there you have it. Just do right by others and they will do right by you. This is super helpful! This is some great information! Has anything changed over last couple of years? Thanks again! Ags — No, nothing has changed.
That will always be the case. I am the owner of a Greengrocer and l like to give people lots of ideas through social media and our website. I basically try and test, and sometimes alter a bit to suit me. Then l would like to put a link to the original source of the recipe.
Do l still need to use my own photo. No problems if l do. As for photos, most bloggers have a copyright policy on their blog that will tell you if they allow the use of their photos or not. Otherwise, yes, you should ask each time. Thank you for this! Thank you so much for this article! I am new to blogging and would hate to do anything wrong! Alot of times I will make a recipe and show pictures of step by step instructions, as long as I give credit ,link, to the original blog will that be ok?
I just want my blog to make cooking easier for those who follow pictures better. Hi there! I am having trouble figuring out the technicalities of this. I am new to blogging and I would like to include a recipe on my blog.
If I use all my own photos, write the directions in my own words, and credit the original source with links very blatantly , am I in the clear? Or am I not allowed to include directions at all? And if you do several from the same blogger, they may still have a legal case if you do it often enough with their recipes.
Can you make a blog off of that or do you have to create your own recipes? There are a few that I do over and over again with my own tweaks just because they are so easy, so good, or so popular depending on my 'audience' I find that cooking is one of the things that I do that makes me quit thinking of other things - so this is good!
I don't use recipes I'm a dumper or a tosser, I just toss things together from experience. I create recipes in the same manner when I do.
You my friend have many great recipes, I read and do,remembering the details as I have enough cooking experience to remember.
Great help on Copyright Tips and Options. BJ - We could always go with the Bee Jays but then we'd probably have to dance AND sing and while I'm graceful as a cow in high heels, singing is definitely not my strong suit. In fact, people ask me to 'pretend' I'm singing - what's that about?
With all my other talents, such as playing the accordion, how was I supposed to add singing to the mix? Love your humor and please don't ever stop. Laughter is my best medicine and without it, I would surely perish! I'm not so sure on the wisdom part - I am a research fanatic it seems though at times I confuse even myself!
I have a friend who writes at Huffington Post and he says I should concentrate on niches - I kinda think I concentrate on itches! Whatever happens to pop into my old lady head, I'm off and running trying to satisfy that itch.
I probably have too much time to think while I do my 'day job'. Bantering with you is like fine wine - it just gets better and better! I loved your comment on someone else's hub I read this morning - about her reading the toilet bowl cleaner. I laughed and laughed - 'go read the back of a wine bottle'. You are too hilarious! OK, Audrea, I have the name for our traveling comedy act. How about the BeeGees? Oh, wait, I think that name has been used before. But maybe the copyright has expired.
Now I'm going to get serious. Something I generally do every fortnit or so. First, I want to commend you with paeans of praise and additional adulation. This is a much-needed resource for every writer and I appreciate your extensive time and effort in putting it all together. And at the same time making it so easy to read and understand. Thank you and kudos to the Malemute Kid! Second, I want to thank you, girlfriend, for allowing me to banter so extensively on your "hubs of art" even when my comments may appear to be out in left field right field, too, for the ambidextrous.
Third, my voluminous thanks for your willingness to use your fertile imagination when we banter. Would be no fun if you didn't. BTW, did you notice that together we may have created a new word for the hubber's lexicon? Thanks for the valuable addition to the hub! I think the more we clarify things the better off we all are!
Thanks for clearing that up! I went around and around, before deciding what I was going to do about the subject. And yes, if the recipe comes straight out of a cookbook or website, I do reference it. It is only fair! Ivorwen - I think that the recipe is totally yours and you could do whatever you wanted with it since you came up with it in your head!
That is fantastic by the way. I am referring to something that is on allrecipes. Those types of recipes are the ones you have to be careful about 'copying' or posting up on a blog 'as is'. I think the kind of recipes you are referring to are totally your own invention and you would have no worries about them - even if there was something similar on line.
That has been one of my pet peeves all along - there are only SO many ways we can make anything and of course there is going to be overlap. We can't possibly designate 'who thought of it originally'. That is like who invented the wheel! Most of what I was directing this hub at was the fact that copying recipes verbatim from some of the big sites might not be a great idea and that tweaking should be applied!
Again, don't think you are going to have to worry about that since you are so creative! My point is, if I come up with something and write it in my own words, then it doesn't matter how many other similar recipes there are out there, the work is still mine Once you know the basics, you can make almost anything, with or without a 'recipe'.
Example, yesterday I decided to try making lacto fermented beets. I was debating whether to chop or grate them, so decided to look and see if anyone else had any experience on the subject.
Turns out, what I wanted to make is known as "Beet Kvass", a traditional Russian drink, and is extremely healthy. Oh, and the sources warned never to grate the beets, because they would turn to alcohol, instead of fermenting. Now, I do know of a site to source, should I share the recipe, but if I had not researched it, I would have thought it all my own. Hi Audrey - That article took tons and tons of work to put together. I had to read it all in a big hurry this morning, so I might have missed this: As soon as an author completes an original work it is copyrighted to that author or, if it is a work for hire deal, to the employer via that author.
There can be more than one author, too. Notice used to have to be placed on the work to insure copyright, but notice is no longer required. Registration of copyright is optional. It is a federal criminal offense to steal a copyright-registered work.
If a copyright-unregistered work is stolen, then the copyright owner can only sue for damages in civil court. The optional copyright notice on the work is not the same thing as copyright registration. Rkhyclak - Thanks so much for the read - and that is the best way - I'm a tweaker all over the place and a 'let's try this' cook so I don't think I have any worries either.
I think a lot of it is just saying 'inspired by'. Ivorwen - Thanks for stopping by. You are probably right - there is overkill on how many sources there are - so which was the original?
MyMastiffPuppies - Thanks for the read as well. Tweaking in my humble opinion is always the way to go for many reasons but especially if posting! CarolinaMuscle - I hear you - I have recipe cards from my husband's family and in all truth, there is no way to trace where they came from but you know they probably came from a cookbook.
I can even visualize some of the ones that my mom had and vaguely remember recipes. I think the point is 'best effort' at attribution and call it a day MPG - Tweaking them makes them okay - not copywrong! And yes, we can always use a third on the comedy road as you never know how tired out 2 ladies will get! Interesting hub Audrey. The recipes I have used in my hubs are my own or some member of my family.
I usually tweak them to make them my way, so is that copywrong?? Now I'm really confused, can I come on the comedy road with you and BJ? Some good advice about copyright- although I know that even my great grandmother's recipes weren't originally hers I have as yet to put any on a hub but I have had blogs that contained recipes.
If they were recipes that I used at home, I always try to mix it up prep and specific ingredients but on occasion I had an auto feed but it did note the source. This was very helpful before I put any recipe hubs up! I do not know how many times I have made something, the family loved it, so I wrote it down, then found an almost identical recipe in a cook book or online. I don't care who else thought of the same thing! Great advice!
I try really, really hard to come up with my own, original stuff Thanks Suziecat7 - I totally agree - that's what I try and do too only with me it's things like nuts! I think I cook with nuts more than I cook with anything - or oats. I usually take a recipe and add or subtract ingredients. I try cooking it first and if it's good, it's mine!!! I like red peppers so I add them to almost everything.
It usually works. Great info here. I know, Pamela - I have tons of recipes and see the same ones populated everywhere. I wonder if anyone WILL ever make an issue over it - but in the meantime, I guess my middle is attribution Chirls - Thanks so much for stopping by - and yes, BJ is a witty girl, eh?
It's very hard to keep up with her! I like your style, drbj and Audrey! Recipes are tricky when it comes to plagiarism because everyone is always copying off each other when it comes to cooking. Great advice, as always. It is a free platform, but you need to build the site mostly by yourself afterward. You also have to host the software yourself.
While you can find some free WordPress hosting, a better long-term strategy is to pay a moderate amount for a solid WordPress host. Blogging is good for SEO because it helps with a number of things that are important ranking factors. Starting a blog on self-hosted WordPress is simply more advantageous and profitable.
Not only do you get to monetize your blog through various advertisements, affiliate links, or direct advertising, you also get to customize and control your blog as you please. WordPress Developers will make your project too complicated, take too long, and cost too much money.
Once you get your website up in WordPress, get ready for a world of hurt. WordPress sites often break down every 3 months or so. They need to be constantly fixed and updated as online technology changes. Wix is a popular website builder platform that is a leading alternative to WordPress. It offers a limited free plan to use for personal or small business website. Both free and paid plans come with pre-designed templates that users can modify using a drag and drop page builder.
Yes, even with food blogs! Affiliate Marketing By recommending products they already use and love, food bloggers can earn passive income by sharing their affiliate links. Just by sending their traffic over, bloggers can earn a percentage of the sales. Bahirwani said a photo-blogger can earn anywhere between Rs 3, and Rs 15, per post.
Influencers generally receive checks from brands that team up with them, rather than from Instagram, which hosts their content. How do bloggers make money? The same way everyone else does: by offering something of value in exchange for money. The type of value you blog has to offer will differ on how you want to monetize your blog. There are five main ways bloggers make money: ads, affiliate marketing, sponsored posts, products, and services.
