We finally found your dream job (or haven't we?)

Are you scrolling down your Instagram feed?... Of course you are! So… How many food pictures do you see? Beautiful plates full of colours, Starbucks Frappuccinos invading your feed, time lapses of fast receipts and so on… this is what a food blogger does! You can bet on it, food blogging is a real job and if you are brave enough to risk it, you can turn it into a proper career and make a living out of it!

But how does it work? How you become a food blogger? It seems pretty easy…you are at home, you prepare the perfect combination of food in your plate and before eating you take a pic. Or you go out for a drink with your friends and you make a boomerang when clinking your glasses. Or again you are travelling the world and you capture every single thing that you eat! Food blogs are popular and easy to monetize, but like all other work-at-home options, it takes a lot of planning and purposeful action to be successful.

Let’s see what are the pros to start this activity:

• you can turn your food passion into an income

• you stimulate your creativity with your food creations

• it’s pretty easy and cheap to get started

• thanks to ads and sponsorships is pretty easy to monetize

• you can meet other food bloggers and create a community around food and eating

• it can lead you to a lot of opportunities in the digital world

But of course, like in all the things, there are also some cons:

• if you have a blog you need a lot of content, you have to meet high expectations so you have to be constantly full of original ideas and follow the latest trends

• the visual aspect is what counts, so you have to be good at taking photographs and editing them in order to have a consistent profile. Visual is king!

• you have to be prepared, in order to be successful enough to have a good income it can take a lot of time

At this point you may wonder why are we talking about this in our website? How is the food blogger job linked to our topic? Well…traveling and eating are two of the most exciting things to do, and if you add to these to a passion for storytelling through pictures and words, you can easily start your food blogger career! There are plenty of people that tell stories about their trips thanks to the use of food and by doing this, they are able to gain loyal followers that are starving to see what’s next!
