Welcome to episode 48 of the Food Blogger Pro podcast! This week, Bjork interviews Dustin & Lacey Baier from A Sweet Pea Chef. A few years ago, A Sweet Pea Chef was floundering. Dustin & Lacey had grown it to the point where it was getting expensive to maintain, but they hadn’t unlocked the secrets to turning it into a successful business. They bounced from great idea to great idea, but just weren’t able to get anything to stick. Until, one day, an internet passer-by pounced and described how inferior they were to the competition. Little did they know, this angry email would lead them down a path that would help them properly monetize their website and start turning things around. Since then, Dustin & Lacey learned how to say no to good opportunities to focus on what’s most important, cracked the code for viral vide, and took A Sweet Pea Chef to new heights. In this episode, Dustin & Lacey share: - Why they almost gave up their blog
- How they narrowed their focus and eliminated most of what they had worked on
- How an angry email inspired them to do better
- Why they decreased the amount of content they were putting out
- Why they decided to focus on video
- How they work together as a team and balance each other out
- How they approach sponsored posts when many opportunities are for processed foods
- Lacey’s advice for getting over perfectionism with video
