How to Monetize a Food Blog:
As far as monetizing a food blog, there are many different ways to go about it. Some of them include using tools like Google AdSense, working with affiliates and reviewing products as well.
Food bloggers often make money:
- Through commissions from affiliates on product sales (especially cookware)
- Running Display ads through Mediavine, a preferred ad management platform for food bloggers
- Writing and selling cookbooks
- Creating e-courses to sell
- Brand partnerships with food companies, restaurants etc.
If you have a large enough following on your site then you can easily make a few thousand dollars monthly with ads, affiliate marketing and digital products.
