How to Become a Successful Food Blogger

 If you are looking for an easy, fast way to make money and you think it will be from a blog, you are sadly mistaken. 

If you willing to develop (or have developed) a blog such as a food blog and post no less than once a week but preferably two or three times a week for at least six months to a year, you can become successful as a food blogger. Of course there are no guarantees, but you have a fair to good chance of success. 

There are a lot of variables, including but not limited to:

1. Your niche 

2. Your web site layout and design

3. Your content

4. Your push or effort to have your blog publicized

5. Your ability to attract advertising or be approved for a major advertising portal who places ads on your site

6. Your writing and photography style

7. Your ability to have a plan for the next level of your blog, which include product such as a book, cookware or something else food or kitchen related


But really, the most important thing needed to be successful as a food blogger is the commitment and consistency to producing the blogs. You might be very surprised to know how many people have an epiphany to produce a food blog, but lose momentum after a few posts and then move on to something else. 

A food blog is a job and you have to have the ability to be your own boss. This is very hard for a lot of people, which is why most people who are employed work for a company or someone else. 

To be successful as a food blogger you have to have patience for all of the issues that are going to come up, such as technical problems and your own time constraints. You have to be committed to the blog for the long haul. Let's say that again: you have to be willing to put months, maybe a few years of sweat and tears into the blog, to see success. In rare cases a food blogger can "make it" in much less time. If that turns out to be you then congratulations. But if you are one of the other 98% and you want to make a decent living or supplement income with a side-hustle food blog, then be prepared for the hard work it will take. Money does not grow on trees and people don't toss it out windows at you like confetti.

 If this article hasn't discouraged you from a food blog then you may have what it takes to produce and be successful at one.

How to Make Vanilla Bourbon Chicken

                                                           Photo: Herbscapes.com Yesterday a neighbor gave me a small jar of Madagascar Bourbon vanilla she has been curing for about six months. The vanilla beans stood in a brown liquid of vanilla and bourbon. For some reason I immediately thought of chicken. I will definitely infuse this liquid gold into some dessert creations, but I happened to have three chicken filets in the fridge ready to make their culinary debut. I rinsed the filets under cold water and placed in a plastic bag. It occurred to me that if I poured too much of the vanilla bourbon into the bag, it would be absorbed by the filets and overtake the flavor, knocking out the fresh German thyme I planned to top on the cooked meal. In plain English: it would be too strong. I carefully dripped about an eighth of a teaspoon into...

How to Water Your Herb Garden

                           Photo: Herbscapes.com  We have found through years of practice and growing herbs that too much water can kill an herb. Many herbs are native to a Mediterranean climate, a climate that is fairly dry, with periodic rain. Even if you live in a hot, humid climate, too much water for some herbs will spell their demise. Examples of herbs that do not need a lot of water: oregano,  thyme, lavender, rosemary. Mint herbs may wilt with out enough water so they stand out as a exception but still do not require much water unless you see them starting to wilt.  So, with herbs sometimes it's better to resist the temptation of over-care and just allow the herb to grow without much attention. Of course there are exceptions to this and the best practice is to monitor the herbs and if any look sick then take the appropriate action.

How to Stop Fighting When You Have Young Kids Involved

  One of the saddest things you can see is a married, separated or divorced couple escalating their fight against one another when there are children involved. It's so very sad for the children, words can hardly describe.  What is even sadder is the couple may be actually fighting over the kids, like the kids are some kind of commodity. They each say they love the kids but what is really happening is they are being selfish and treating their kids like a product. If they really loved their kids they would allow the kids to chose who to stay with, as long as it's in a safe, good environment. Once the kids get old enough to really make decisions on their own, they will look back and make their own conclusions about which parent was right.  If parents are fighting over children and a home the children are living is unsafe or unlawful, the struggling parent should allow the governing laws to address the situation. This requires patience and lots of work.   If the homes of...
