Have I mentioned lately how frustrating Facebook is for bloggers like myself who just want to help people with the information we find about real, traditional food and healthy living? We put posts up on our wall, and it doesn't matter that I have 50,000+ followers, most of you don't see it. Facebook apparently doesn't have enough money and wants me to pay them for more ads to make sure you see everything that I post. Their algorithms are set up to pick and choose what you'll see. Read about their latest switcharoos and shenanigans from Sarah and what you can do about it.
The quick-take is this: If you go to my page and click the drop-down arrow by the “like” button and click “turn on notifications”, you'll hopefully see everything then. Also, the more you like and share my posts (or even just comment with a smiley face), that helps you see more, too. Even better is if you subscribe to the blog via email and then you won't miss anything for sure:
Click here to sign up to receive Kitchen Kop posts to your inbox. Don't forget to click the confirmation link that will come to your email. You can choose how often you get email from me. ***Also be sure to login to the member area — You will get a bunch of free stuff when you subscribe there too, like the whole first chapter of my book (a Real Food Ingredient Guide), the entire Real Food for Rookies online class, featuring many cooking videos and health expert interviews, and a whole list of printable health guides, all free. 🙂
Whatever you do, I hope you'll stick around, because messages like the following one really make me sad, it was an email from one of my favorite reader friends, Sharon:
Have you decreased the frequency of your posts? My inbox has only seen mail from you 4 times since Christmas. I've been reading about mail services not working right for other bloggers and am wondering if maybe there's some glitch that involves my email. If not, no worries, I access you directly also, but I'm missing you in my inbox. There are certain emails that cannot be missed and yours is #1 on that list. :)”
What a sweet way to start my Saturday on one hand, but on the other hand I wanted to sit down and cry!
If YOU are mysteriously not getting my updates anymore, I hope you'll come back following the directions above!
Would you also follow me on Instagram and Pinterest too?! OH and subscribe here for YouTube updates!
Geesh, I'm not asking much, am I?
It's just SO frustrating to try to get posts up regularly, whether it's blog posts or Facebook posts, and then find out that not many are seeing them!
Will you comment below and let me know if you've been getting the updates you signed up for?
Thanks so much everyone!
Erica says
A while back I suddently stopped getting your e-mails. I figured it was because my employer changed our e-mail SPAM filter, and they were getting blocked (which very well may have been the case!). Then yesterday I went to your website & I was reading some articles & now, all of a sudden, I got e-mails from you! Odd. I just hope it keeps up! 🙂
KitchenKop says
Hi Erica,
Yeah, I think I give off some sort of crazy “aura” that messes up anything technical that gets too close to me!

Jessica says
I’m still getting your posts, thankfully!
Dani says
I get the emails, and I like and/or comment on enough facebook posts that I see many of them. I don’t do twitter enough for it to be a valid format for me to follow you, I get plenty already on Pinterest (in fact, I’m trying to figure out how to unfollow a few folks in there), and Google+ has always been a mystery to me that I never tried to figure it out.
So, basically, emails are still working 😉
Kara H says
Yes, I’ve been getting your posts. Thank you. Can’t always find to read them, (we all know how that goes!) but always enjoy them when I can!!
Melinda says
My emails are being delivered to my inbox. I’m thankful too because I look forward to Real Food Wednesday’s. I love to cook and your recipes are always a hit when I make them.
Elizabeth says
I’m getting duplicate e-mails daily. I’ll unsubscribe and resubscribe like you suggested.
Amanda Yoder says
I get 2 a day, one from Kelly and one from Kelly Kitchen Kop, but that’s better than none, I just delete the duplicate!
Jana says
Yep! I’m receiving emails. 🙂
Krisann O'Neil says
I am regularly getting your e-mails, enjoying them, and benefiting from them. Thanks, Kelly.
Tina H. says
I actually get two e-mails each time. Any ideas how to change that?
KitchenKop says
Hi Tina,
Yep, here’s what to do:
First check to see if they’re both to the same email address.
If they are NOT then just unsubscribe from one and you’ll still get the other one.
If the ARE to the same email address, when you unsubscribe it’ll take you off all together, but then just REsubscribe once and you’ll only get one.
Sorry for all that trouble!!

Sandy says
I get all your emails, as well as what you post on Facebook. And I read them all! Thanks in particular for pointing me to the Underground Wellness site – Sean Croxton is awesome, and I’m learning so much about my health. Happy Mother’s Day, Kelly, and God bless!
KitchenKop says
HI Sandy, I know, he’s awesome!!
Linda says
Hi Kelly, I get your e-mails almost daily.
Thanks for your hard work.
Linda
Heidi Smith says
I get your e-mails all the time and enjoy them all.
Jo-Lynne {Musings of a Housewife} says
I still get your emails!
susan b says
I get two emails when you post, too. They are from two different kelly names, though. The titles are the same.
Soli says
Kel, never call yourself a dingbat, that’s not healthy. 😉
I am getting updates both via RSS and email as well as newsletters.
Peggy says
Kelly, I have Yahoo mail but am not a big fan of it. I have no trouble getting your emails and recently I fixed it so I get just one a day instead of the two I used to get. Unfortunately though, in the last several weeks I have stopped receiving emails from two of my other favorite bloggers who show I am still subscribed! 🙁
Rebecca says
I get your emails too. Thank you 🙂
Kathy says
I have gmail and as another poster said, they have changed their “filter” and so I find some of your emails in my junk folder. But I do get all of them. Thank you and Happy Mothers Day
Tiffany says
I have been receiving updates via my yahoo mail just fine. By the way, your emails are the best!
BethG says
I get your emails, Kelly! They come to my gmail account and gmail segments inbox emails into Primary, Social and Promotions tabs. Your messages go in the Promotions tab. I didn’t set this up but do think it’s convenient. Maybe your friend who’s not getting emails usess gmail and may not be familiar with the tabs???
mereditih says
I get my daily email. thanks.
Diane says
I get a daily email.
Patty Jaynes says
I seem to get mine just fine. Thanks so much for the information and research that you do! 🙂
Naomi Williams says
I’m getting all the emails just fine to my sonic.net account via Thunderbird.
Susan says
I get all of your emails.
Ellen Puetz says
Am getting your emails regularly in gmail, but notice blogs sometimes show up in promotions tab and sometimes in the primary tab, even from the same email address, no rhyme or reason.
Margaret Auld-Louie says
No problem here. I get all your e-mails. I think the problem is on her end, as other comments above say (your e-mails being filtered out or moved to another tab.)
L says
I think everything is good here!
Sorry for the aggravation.
SherryJ says
I get updates delivered via email with no problem.
Marsha says
I have yahoo – I have no problem getting your emails. Thanks for all the work you do.

Sahara says
Gmail also filters differently now, so messages like yours would go to an updates or a promotional tab. My dad thought he was missing messages too but showed him those tabs. Could be that? Have you noticed a drastic change in your click through numbers when looking at your reports and analytics? Just some thoughts…
Colleen says
Kelly – I get you twice everyday! 🙂
Jen Mc says
Me too! I Think somehow I have 2 email addresses in there….I’ll figure it out someday 😉
Beth says
Same here… No problem, though – better twice than not at all!
Andrea says
I get you 2x also. Sometimes 3!
Ann says
I get you 2x also! 🙂 I don’t mind… that way I don’t miss out on what you post.
KitchenKop says
Thank you SO much to all of you who have replied so far!
For those who said you’re getting two (or more!) emails from me daily, here’s what to do…
First check to see if they’re both to the same email address.
If they are NOT then just unsubscribe from one and you’ll still get the other one.
If the ARE to the same email address, when you unsubscribe it’ll take you off all together, but then just REsubscribe once and you’ll only get one.
Sorry for all that trouble!!

Karen D says
Yahoo did something so that feedburner emails are not delivered to readers with yahoo emails. “Still Blonde After All These Years” did a comprehensive post about it a few days ago… and she had changed subscription management services, so I did receive it!
KitchenKop says
Thankfully I haven’t used Feedburner for email subscribers for a while now…
Lisa says
I use Feedly to keep up with all the blogs I follow!
