About 3 years into food blogging, I knew that making it a full-time career was a no-go for me.
I just couldn’t make it work.
But it led me to something that I didn’t see coming. A love of food photography and styling. A passion for sharing about food, honoring my health-roots, and reflecting my affection for the culture of travel through images…of the foods we eat.
Once I made the decision to become not a blogger who took pictures, but a food photographer who also had a blog, things fell into place. Over 10 years, I made the slow and steady transition from aspiring to professional.
My friend and colleague, Jason Logsdon, sous vide expert and founder of Amazing Food Made Easy, recently launched Makin’ Bacon. It’s an essential resource for those who want to serve their fans and grow their income food blogging.
He invited me on to talk about my journey and discuss:
how I transitioned my business
networking as a key for growth
photography tips
how I figured out where to price myself when I had no idea where to start
