The Sweetapolita blog, with its growing 300,000 followers on Instagram, is known today for its delightful sprinkles and luxurious cake mixes, but in 2010 it started as a baking blog.
Phase One: Getting Started
At this stage, you can start making money from your blog even before you have a dedicated audience or a large amount of website traffic. It may take some time to start earning money, but for some bloggers, it doesn’t take long. Ads displayed on the website can be a good source of income at this stage.
Phase Two: Steady Growth
In this phase, as traffic to your site increases and people start actively looking for your blog, you can begin to earn income from other sources like selling an eBook or a physical cookbook, offering subscriptions, or creating courses or live cooking classes.
Phase Three: Reaching the Next Level
At this stage, when you have a large audience and a long mailing list, you can start selling branded products such as kitchen tools, clothing, or even producing packaged food products under your name.
In short, you can monetize your blog by displaying ads, using affiliate links, email marketing, writing sponsored posts, partnering with brands, selling an eBook or physical cookbook, offering subscriptions, creating courses, streaming live cooking classes, and selling products online or packaged goods.
