Ever look at the successful foodies who post those mouth-watering pics and manage to somehow get paid to do it? I have figured it out and assembled this easy-to-follow, step-by-step, guaranteed-or-your-money-back system!
Do I know how to write a hook or what? Read on and thank me with upvotes later when you succeed.
Not as difficult as it sounds. Afterall, you are on the Hive blockchain as you are reading this but don't be spooked. The only difference is that when you create your account using your preferred method here https://signup.hive.io/ you will be able to create content and upvote to earn rewards. What makes this special is that YOU own your wallet, content, and get to choose your feed rather than an algorythm.
Probably the most important step but I couldn't stop at 1 so here are the rest.
Step 2 - Visit a Fancy Restaurant
March right through the doors of a place like https://revival.house if you have the moxy, or someplace you frequent and enjoy. Your pictures and description will share the experience with the world and practice combining the right shots and words can transform the simplest cafe into a palace.
Step 3 - Be "One of Those People"
That's right. Take photos of your food. I would suggest parking your phone right on the edge of your plate and shamelessly steal my Extreme Dramatic Close-up style of shot. Always remember, fries are foreground or background and make great lines for fuzzying up with depth of field.
You will appear to be one of those doods who posts food pics on social media for attention and ego. Worry not, Step 4 takes away that stigma.
Step 4 - Post to your Hive Blog!
When you post to a Facebook or other web 2.0 platform, you are pumping your attention, effort and content into some soulless corporation's coffers for the relinquishable privilege of them allowing you to have an account. They are not completely useless, but we will get to that later.
Because your food blog is on Hive, even the tiniest upvote gives you a monetary reward. Depending upon how long you practice, engage and curate, those rewards can increase to the point where your meal is paid for. When you are earning money posting about food, you are officially a professional food blogger! Easy as that. Bonus points for using the #foodie and other related tags for more community exposure.
Bonus Steps
Copy the link to your post and share it on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and your other preferred platforms. More readers are better and some of those readers will follow your lead by creating an account, then their upvotes will be worth something too. Tag those businesses!
Link the websites of the places you like. Even if nobody clicks on the link, it shows up on dozens of new webpages associated with the key words you use to describe your experience and links back to the restaurant's webpage. Google loves this and increases their search ranking (SEO) with each post and linkback.
If you performed step 1 years ago and already lucky enough to have 1400 followers, don't hesitate to tell the owner if he/she/they/etc visit your table to say hello. Things only get better!
Accept invitations to be a part of exclusive new menu sampling events in exchange for a post and sharing the pictures you take with the social media person for use.
Be happy with your income diversification and wonderful food experience as is, become a social media influencer as a profession, or just open your own digital marketing firms like I did with @town-crierhttps://towncriermarketing.ca Completely up to you.
