TIPS TO BECOMING A FOOD VLOGGER

by Abbas Jahangir · July 9, 2022

The world of the internet is changed so much over the last decade. Things that were considered impossible at one point in time are not common. If you look back a decade earlier, you will see that only renowned restaurant chefs were allowed to give opinions on food. Chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Marco Pierre White mattered; their opinions were the last word. While they still matter in the culinary world, they no longer have a monopoly on power.

These days YouTubers and Instagram chefs dominate social media. Have you heard of uncle Roger? He is a Malaysian comedian who is very popular on YouTube. He shares his honest opinions about American and British food, and people eat them up. Not only that, but he has over six million subscribers following him on YouTube. And if you think he is an isolated example, you are wrong. Many YouTubers and food bloggers are making it big by reviewing food online. So, if you want to be a food blogger, you have all the opportunities to be one. Continue reading this article to learn practical tips that will help you be a food blogger.

Find Your Niche: To become a food blogger, the first and foremost thing you must decide is the genre. What type of food blogger do you want to be? Some people do restaurant reviews where you go to a restaurant and eat different items. You must film the process of eating and review it simultaneously. You can put a twist on this type of review and cover different topics. For example, you can create a video titled best steakhouse in Arlington and do a comparison video featuring different local steakhouses.

Some food blogger reviews restaurants’ food, while others make food in their kitchen. You can be a home cook or a professional one; having a YouTube channel is like having your own cooking show on TV. You may get millions of followers watching your channel for the latest recipes.
Some bloggers do not make food, but take their channel to the next level. They travel to different countries and try authentic local food. These channels, too, get popular as people love watching videos of far-off lands.

Invest: Consider your food blog as a business; every business requires initial investments. Therefore, purchase the devices necessary for you to shoot your videos. A mic is one of the main things you need to make crisp videos. Even if you have poor picture quality, you need quality audio to capture the audience’s attention. If the audio is not clear, people will move on to the next video of a different creator.

Blog: While vlogging on YouTube will bring you success and money, you can also channel your existing subscribers to your food blog. Maintaining a food blog might be easier than you imagine. Of course, you will need help in creating content for the blog. Be sure to hire expert writers who know what they are talking about. You can even collaborate with other chefs and publish their recipes on your website. If you have a cookbook, you can sell the book on your website to make more money.
