Food blogging represents an intricate interweaving of food enthusiast, or food writer, interest in documenting the process of preparing food and/or blog writing in an attractive and entertaining way. Most of such blogs focus exclusively on food photography and most of them use pictures taken by the blogger himself/ herself. Food blogging gives bloggers a platform to display their talents as well as to earn money through advertisements placed on their blog pages. The popularity of food blogging has increased dramatically over the past year, but its exact nature remains uncertain. Many bloggers claim to be part of a secret food network while other bloggers claim not to be part of this network, but are simply experiencing great success as a result of their online blogging efforts.
It would be reasonable to assume that food bloggers would also be social media friendly, but almost all of the successful food bloggers I have met are not social media friendly at all. This means that they maintain a separate personal account on the internet for blogging and use a separate instagram account for social media sharing. Food blogging is very similar to social media in many ways because social media is a tool that allows us to interact with our friends and family even when we are unable to physically connect with them. Blogging about food and instagram is therefore a very logical choice if you are looking to connect with your fans and build a following. Some food bloggers also do both instagram and blogging, although they prefer one over the other.
The secret to being a successful full-time blogger is to create compelling content and attract readership by providing them with information that they want to know. By doing this, you can then offer these people helpful advice on a variety of topics ranging from how to decorate a wedding to how to plan a successful restaurant event. If you can combine your passion with your ability to provide helpful information and interact with your audience, you will find that being a full-time food blogger can be very rewarding indeed!
