Are you passionate about cooking and love creating recipes? Another hobby-turned-profit-maker is producing and selling recipes online.
Magazines in markets such as health, household and lifestyle are always looking for recipes to feature. You can start making cash straightaway by uploading your recipes to magazine sites such as Taste of Home, Cuisine at Home and Cooking Light, which pay up to £75 for each one they publish. Sites such as EatingWell pay around £0.70 per word, which can generate an even better payout.
If you would rather create a brand yourself and sell your recipes to individuals, you can consider using platforms such as Etsy, where you can earn anywhere between £1.99 and £25 per recipe. You can also use a different publishing method, such as creating an eBook. An eBook has very few production costs but can generate a much more substantial income.
Try and create a brand and come up with something unique. One example is to create a family-based book by basing your recipes on a grandparent’s cooking style and including some personal anecdotes on how the cooking style developed over the years.
