Food blogging is an enormous market. The best foodies don't get money from Adsense though, it's through sponsorship/affiliate deals, books if they hit it big.

Food blogging is an enormous market. The best foodies don't get money from Adsense though, it's through sponsorship/affiliate deals, books if they hit it big.
It's quite a stereotyped field though, and I would imagine it's a saturated market. Everyone wants to be like Deliciously Ella [1]. Don't even try unless you have a studio setup for the photography. Lots of food authors are pivoting towards more (usually female oriented) "lifestyle" blogs which happen to have recipes.
A lot of food blogs target healthy eating, or niche diets like keto/paleo. There are also tons of specialist food blogs covering bread, cakes, etc.

- Cherian 9y agoYou are right. We have around $3000 worth of lighting equipment, lens, etc. But we acquired them along the way. Sponsored content is a good chunk of money (close to 30% every mom) but its nonscalable.
- zombieprocess 9y agoCan you elaborate some more on this? What kind of equipment and resources for learning more about this?
- wehere1 9y agotry googling 'photography equipment'
- joshvm 9y agoTypically: DSLR, large aperture normal zoom lens, 2 or more external strobes, softboxes, reflectors, tripods, and flash triggers. Have a look at Strobist which is specifically aimed at flash photography. Otherwise just look in photo or recipe books, food blogs and shamelessly steal until you get the hang of layout.
