If you like some food-related Pin on Pinterest and click on it, then the blog you will be land on will also mostly a food blog.
You may also want to start your own food blog. But you may wonder how much money you can make from a food blog.
You may also think about how all the other food bloggers make money from their blogs.
So here in this article, I will try my best to remove all the confusion from your mind and give you a clear idea of how much money food bloggers make.
If you are thinking to start your food blog to make a profit from it, then it is important for you to understand all the factors that affect on earning of a food blog.
So how much food bloggers make?
Maybe, you wish to get a clear-cut answer in the form of numbers that represents the amount. But it is not possible to give the answer in one or two words or in a sentence.
This is because there are multiple factors that are there to decide how much money a food blog can make.
Now I am going to discuss major factors that decide how much a blog will earn.
One of the major factors among them is the traffic amount that the blog is receiving. The more traffic a blog gets, the more revenue it can generate.
But, wait… All the traffic is not the same.
For example, if a food blog receiving 100k monthly traffic from the United States and there is another blog in the same niche receiving the same amount of traffic from India then the traffic from the US will generate more revenue than the blog with majority Indian traffic.
Even traffic sources also matter a lot. For example, organic search traffic from search engines like Google have more conversion rate than traffic from Facebook. So if you are selling your own product on the blog, then organic traffic from Google will have higher chances of buying it than users from Facebook.
There is a number of other factors also there. But these are the main factors I have mentioned above.
Now here I am going to give you an estimation and rough idea of how much money food bloggers can make depending upon various factors.
If your food blog is getting 100k monthly visitors, the majority traffic comes from the United States and using premium ad networks like Mediavine or AdThrive, then your monthly earnings will be almost from $2500 to $3500.
Please note that I have not included the earnings of an affiliate or sponsored posts. If you use affiliate programs and getting sponsored posts on your blog, your earnings will be further increased.
The earnings of affiliate income further depend on how you can use it effectively and what is your strategies.
On the other hand, if your food blog is getting majority traffic from India and getting 100k visits per month then the estimated earnings can be between $700 to $1000. The earning opportunity from affiliate sales will also be lower compared to the blog with majority U.S traffic.
Food bloggers and their revenue
Now I want to give you some examples of well-established food blogs and their owner and of course the revenue they published on their blog.
If you look at the top established food bloggers, then you will see their earnings are from $50000 to $100000 in just one month by food blogging.
