Your picture needs to be approved before it is featured on the site. Not only do your photos have to be of a very high quality, you also need to have the tenacity to keep uploading till you start getting approvals. Don’t expect your photos to be approved from the first submission onwards, but once you do get an approval, there will definitely be a surge in traffic. The good news for new food bloggers is that most of these websites have become a lot more lenient in recent times. But on the downside, there are reports that traffic has also reduced from these sources, but it still can get you anything from a 100 to thousands of views per day.
