Will Blog For Food

Everyone always asks what's the easiest way to get into food writing? Blogging or the newer v-logging. If you love writing about food and cooking this is the way to go. It not only satisfies those creative cooking cravings, it also gets you established into the food writing industry.

Anyone can write a blog.It's easy. The thing is to create an unusual spin on it, especially with food. Have something that's boring and mundane and you won't get the readers (or the ads ) that generate the need to go on as well as give you the Internet cred. Check out some of the more
 successful ones,like Pioneer Woman which creates simple meals. You can go fancy with a gourmet chocolate blog or even a  caviar specific  (check the competition on any specialty food blog before you start).Any blog on food is actually a good one, especially the one with clips and pictures.

Another way to go is v-logging which is just making a daily or weekly video and uploading it on You Tube. This gives you a tremendous amount of creativity. You can film restaurants and even get interviews with local chefs (and famous ones). You can make some great how to videos about any dish . However it is basically a food show. You should have a steady hand with the camera or have a stable cameraman.Another is editing, It's fun to have bloopers  but not everyday or every week. Also it means hair, make up and clothing. No one wants to see a drudge cook. Glamor, sadly is everything , even in the food writing industry.

If you love food and are creative, then food blogging or v-logging is for you. It's a fun way to connect your passion the world. You don;t have to be a great chef either. Just have a good time, sharing your recipes and loves with the world!
