bloggers share income

You might think it is hard to find other bloggers who are willing to give up their secrets – and you are right, at least in the food photography blog corner of the Internet. But some do exist. Some of them cannot share income because of the ad network to which they belong. When searching for revenue share writers, I can find plenty of those willing to share, even bloggers who write about writing. Pets? Not a problem. Weight loss? No shortage there. Food was a whole different story. Before I realized my niche was under my nose this whole time I found Lindsay and Bjork. I found them by searching for bloggers who shared their income, not by food.

However, I did stick around because Lindsay did share some amazing food recipes, and at the time I had been invited to Beta test Pinterest and needed some new photos to share. It was boring to me to see the same handful of photos being shared over and over again. In August 2011 Pinch of Yum made $21.97. Now the site averages around $10,000 a month and they have even started another site to help food bloggers (that income is not included on Pinch of Yum). I have purchased Lindsay’s food photography book, “Tasty Food Photography,” which has been worth its weight in gold!  Best $19 I ever spent and I feel a good investment on YUM eating. Lindsay and Bjork are not the only ‘food folk’ making some money. So here is a list of people who are willing to share their income with the rest of the world.  I hope you find this as useful as I do.
