I went vegan in 2012. Now writing about food has become the most popular topic on my blog.

Regardless of what your favourite foods are, there are a few reasons why blogging about food is one of the easiest ways to start a blog.

1. There is an abundance of food choices- snacks, fast food restaurants, ready-made meals, cooked from scratch dishes. There are numerous types of diets, beginners bakers and cake makers, regional foods and budget related cooking. Also, nearly every holiday revolves around the food that it has to be prepared.

You can start a blog by simply making a collection of some of your favourite meals and how you prepare them. You might be an aspiring bread maker and starting a blog about bread is your next step.

2. Get to spend countless hours on Social media. I spent days admiring other food bloggers creations and making plans for what will I share on my next post.

I spent hours on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest looking and drooling over foods, engaging with other aspiring cooks and rediscovering the latest trends.

The only disadvantage of that is that I tent to spent more time looking at food rather than preparing it and sharing some of my ideas and recipes.

3.Become a master in food arranging and phone photography.

Food has to look good first, because most of us eat with your eyes first. You will rediscover your best lighting spot in the kitchen and how to hold your phone to accomplish the desired "perfect"angle.

4.You get a chance to be your own boss and commit daily

I enjoy being a blogger. I find it almost indulging to write and share my thoughts, but this is the beauty of blogging!

You can use your blog as an advertising space for brand that you support, affiliate products that you use and sell your own products. It will take some time to build an audience but consistency pays off.

The best time to start your blog is Now.

Make it happen.

Hi there, I have only been around about a month and have started a vegetarian food blog. I can hear you sigh now. When I read your other blog about basically you should back away from that niche because its super saturated, it takes years to get ranked, monetizing is nearly impossible because people want the recipe--not the gadget.etc. I just don't know what to do. It seems you've been writing for years and know your stuff. I've been ambivalent about this for the same reasons so I don't know if seeing your post was confirmation? I just don't have another idea in my head.

thanks
Addy

Hi Addy, thank you so much for reaching out. I appreciate you reading my blog and sharing your thoughts.

Yes, the food blogging, recipe creating market is saturated. Yes, if I was starting now I would focus on these key elements.

Think long term when you are creating content- what evergreen media can you spend your time creating , that will be relevant to your niche in years to come.

Look up platforms, where you can advertise our blog/website where people will pay you to have their content placed.

If you are selling solar energy solutions look up what problems does these products solve. Write about that. Publish a 1000 words article once a week.

Persistence is the only way towards growth.

Hope that is helpful.
Kind regards,
Ivelina

Thank you so much! You are very welcome!

Great post about food blogging.

I'm laughing about your comment, "I tend to spend more time looking at food...." So true.

I would add that eventually, you will also get to a point that you ditch the phone and can invest in even nicer photography equipment and camera lenses.

Thank you. As we eat with our eyes first, investing in a good camera will be worth it.

Great post!
It's very inspiring and makes me want to try.

thanks
