Best Sites to Submit Food Photos To Drive Traffic To Your Food Blog

January 7, 2015 by naivecookcooks 39 Comments

best food photo submission sites to drive traffic to your food blog

Let’s talk about something different than a recipe today. Food Blogging. What is Food Blogging?

I still have difficulty trying to make people understand what I do as a full time job. If you have been following my blog for sometime now, you might know that I have a masters degree in Chemical Engineering and after working for few years in the corporate world, I decided it wasn’t the right place for me. I wanted to do something that I was passionate about and after devoting almost 2 years, I was FINALLY able to find the right thing for me.

Today I won’t call myself a pro as I am still learning the ins and outs of this profession. Food blogging can get intimidating at times as there is so much scope in this field that sometimes you might end up wanting to do a lot (that happens with me quite a bit and that leaves me more than often depressed at the end of the day when I see not much success towards reaching my goals).

So as we all know, one of the best or the important thing to be successful in this field is NETWORKING. You want your blog to be seen and read by as many people as possible and for this if you are a food blogger and you take your food photos by yourself, this is one of the best way to get some exposure.

Food photography is another vast area and it really helps if you can take great magazine like photos. There are lot of sites out there which allow you to submit your food photos attached to a particular recipe you posted on your blog and through those sites, if you are lucky enough to get your photo published there, you can get a lot of traffic to your food blog.

Let me warn you though. There are countless food photos submission sites out there and it gets kind of impossible to submit to all of these as it ends up taking a lot of time. So after doing it for some time now, I have found the ones that work the best for me. So here I have compiled them in a list. You are more than welcome to add your findings or your favorite sites to share your food photos in the comments below.

Let’s get to work!

Best Sites To Submit Food Photos To Drive Traffic To Your Food Blog:

1. Food Gawker

2. Taste Spotting

3. Foodista

4. Tasty Ktchen

5. Healthy Aperture

6. Finding Vegan

7. Oh My Veggies Potluck

8. Tasteologie

Let me tell you that these are the sites I use often to submit my food photos but there are tons of other sites out there too.These are the sites I find worth spending time as it can easily take around 5-10 minutes for submitting to each site.

Hope you find this article helpful and I would seriously love to know what sites or places you submit your food photos to drive traffic to your blog.

    Thanks for the list… while I am aware that all these photo submission sites are great to bring in traffic… they are also very hard to crack – that is, get accepted!

    Any suggestion to crack that?

      I do agree with you on these sites being really hard to crack too. I have seen that the best way is usually having amazing bright pictures and even i struggle with it all the time.

    I only submit to Foodgawker, Tastespotting and Finding Vegan. Few months back I tried submitting to Tasteologie…I am not sure but there’s no way to check if your post has been accepted or rejected on the site? Do you know how to check that Ami? On FG and TS you can see if your post is pending or not..no clue how to see that on Tastelogie? I was never able to see any of my posts there..and didn’t know how to check also..so I just gave up!

      I agree with you Manali. On tasteologie you can’t tell if your post is accepted or if not accepted whats the reason behind it. But if you type your username in the search box, it usually shows you all the results posted by that particular user. I find that little bit helpful as sometimes i do know which ones got posted!!

    Bravo to you for following your passion! I submit my photos to most of the ones on your list. You’re right, it takes a lot of time, but I think it’s totally worth it.

    Thanks for sharing Ami! I try to submit to most of these, but not every recipe! It could easily take a lot of time, but the traffic they send is great most of the time 🙂

    Nicely put together. I agree with everything you have noted. I too am coming from a different profession and have started blogging mainly about food and related topics so far as hobby and can see spending much of my time reaching out and learning about social media. I find f52gram high potential. Let me know if you have any experience with that. However let me tell you this, recipe submitting is not that breeze here as well. Keep up the good work. Glad our path crossed.

      Jinal I feel the same too!! It takes a lot of time and patience to submit recipes to tons of sites and then wait to see if they accept or not. Add regarding f52grams, you mean the hashtag for using on Instagram or their food52 site in general??

    How hard is it to get featured on Finding Vegan?

      Actually I feel it’s not that hard if your recipe meets all the criteria of being vegan and pictures are bright and clear.
