Make Money with a Recipe Blog

Around the world, people everywhere are discovering that blogging is a great way to make money online. The reason? Blogs can usually be set up at a low cost and started with a minimum of experience. Two very popular tools for blogging are Google Blogger (blogger.com) or the easy to use Wordpress (Wordpress.org). Both make it easy to set up a blog. But what kind of blog should you start?

Recipes and cooking tips are two very popular topics on the internet. People who cook, love to share their stories, good or bad, with other people who love to cook. If you can tell someone else about a product that failed, a recipe that actually worked, or even a five-star restaurant quality meal that you stumbled upon, wouldn't that be great fun? Now, what if your experiences in the kitchen could make you money as well? Blogging about regional dishes is especially interesting to folks who can't travel to your area but would like to make something different. Have a little fun with it and include your own personal kitchen disasters like "the day the potato exploded". People want to laugh along with you as well as learn something new.

If you're questioning whether or not you have the skills needed to create a recipe blog, you probably aren't giving yourself enough credit. You love to eat, right? Well, that's one skill down. Can you write a recipe that's easy to follow and accurate? There you go! You don't have to be a trained chef or know all the fancy cooking terms, just enjoy what you do. You will probably want to have a digital camera so you can include pictures of the recipes you make, but it's not necessary. You'll find sites where you can download pictures that will suit you just fine. Most importantly, you'll need to have patience. Your blog won't get noticed as fast as you'd like, but before you know it you'll be chatted-up all over the blogosphere.

Of course, you want to make money with your recipe blog. By using one or more of the following methods, you'll have a real home-based business that will start producing income for you and your family.

Make Money by Selling Products: A recipe blog offers an opportunity for the entrepreneur to build a home based business by actually selling products online while blogging about them. By offering cooking products, cookware, cookbooks, and other tools that the budding chefs of the world would like, you are sharing your interests and your opinion while making money. If you are a retailer at heart, this method of earning income could be for you.

Make Money by Selling Advertising: Your blog may not be popular at first, but never fear. It won't be long before readers start finding you and your traffic starts to increase. Once that happens, advertisers will be interested in promoting on your blog.

Make Money by Selling Your Blog: Successful bloggers, those whose readership has grown enough to be noticed by the search engines and/or media, can even sell their blogs to others and earn an income. Popular topics in high-traffic websites will get your name and your blog noticed, remembered, and visited. Some people create blogs just to sell them, in fact, so this is another idea to keep in mind.

Isn't it incredible to think that by just sharing your love of food you can earn an income? With a bit of hard work and learning a few blogging tips, you will be able to create a one-of-a-kind blog that shares your stories, family recipes, favorite restaurant tips, cooking disasters, or whatever you want to share. Just be sure that you have your "stamp" on it, that it is uniquely yours, and the readers will follow! But, you can't profit until your recipe blog is a reality. Get started today.
