  1. Blogging

Blogging in general, about your travel or food exploration is different from blogging for monetization. Blogging here does not refer to your opinions about that burger you tried at the corner store of your society. Here, blogging is to share your best recipes with tips for the readers to buy the content in order to gain that knowledge. This can be a brilliant way to earn your side income and get the business going. 

In order to increase readers, one will have to pay close attention to the website reach. Once you are able to direct the traffic flow towards your website, you can monetize from your provided recipe knowledge in your blogs.           

Always ensure a quality check of the content in your website/blog prior to upload, as the majority of your SEO would depend on it.

3. Podcasting

Podcasting is a popular culture that every Gen Z is indulging into. From a consumerism point of  view, this gives you enough reason to start a podcast of your own as one of the ways to earn as a Chef. 

You can record your podcast on any of these theme-

  • Any interesting mythological stories behind any traditional recipe
  • Sharing tips for special cuisines
  • Food conversations with world renowned Chefs

Following such unique content and right strategy, your podcast will have more audience which will help you monetize out of it. Simply recording the script is not enough. Remember, consistency is the key always. In order to popularise your podcast, there has to be a certain number of downloads on every episode which will further dictate your monetization step. You can also earn by placing membership fees for your podcast.

4. Youtube Channel

Food aesthetics along with some fabulous and substantial content is an incredible material to go on your youtube channel as audiences prefer watching pleasing food visuals as an add on/support to the audio. 

By selecting the right niche, content and a well strategized marketing, one can reach to many individuals and can monetize very well. Your channel could either be cooking lessons, cooking tips, personal recipes etc.
