A question I get all the time is “How do your sites make money”?.

In order to run a successful recipe site, you need to have a niche to start. My niche here is basic. All my recipes include ingredients that an average Wilma would have in her pantry. You will also want your niche to be in the title of your recipe site. It’s an SEO technique. Examples of this would be “Chicken Recipes”, or “Diet Recipes”, etc.

How are my sites earning money you ask? Most of my recipe blogs earn by blog advertising. How this works is, if an advertiser wants to create buzz about a certain product or service, he joins the Smorty.com network. Then the advertiser pays a small fee to get his link all over the blogospere. The bloggers then get paid to create posts and review the advertisers product.

As an advertiser and blogger, I highly recommend Smorty.com. Advertisers create a campaign and get tons of permanent links back to your site. Plus you only pay for posts you approve. Bloggers get paid weekly via Paypal and there is no minimum payout. Also, you only accept the tasks that interest you.

Simple as that. Now get out there and put all your sites to work.
