Eat Blog Talk

In episode 582, Megan chats to Katharine Rosenthal about creative ways to earn money while waiting to join an ad network.

Katharine is a Dietitian and Food Blogger and she started her blog in early 2023. She focuses on healthy-ish recipes that are easy and approachable. As a Dietitian, Katharine fully believes that there is room for every food and she wants to spread that philosophy and idea to all of her readers. Katharine’s favorite saying is "nourish to flourish" and to her that means to eat nutrient-rich foods most of the time but also grab those fries and drink the milkshake when you are craving it!

In this episode, you’ll learn about how to generate income through online and local partnerships, how to use your expertise to earn extra money and time management tips for balancing multiple income streams.

Key points discussed:

- Diversify income sources through online partnerships: While waiting to get into an ad network, you can generate revenue through online partnerships - you don’t need many followers on social media to do this.

- Leverage local connections: Reaching out to local magazines, businesses, and organizations can lead to valuable partnerships and exposure.

- Provide value through expertise: Use your background to offer unique value, for example through recipe development, nutrition articles, and cooking classes.

- Prioritize time management: Even with multiple income streams, you can plan for time off and still focus on self-care by being organized and planning ahead.

- Know your value: Price your services to reflect the value you offer and reassess your pricing as your experience increases.

- Embrace boldness: If you want to succeed you need to be bold and take advantage of opportunities, even when they may seem daunting.

- Focus on long-term growth: Blogging is a long-term game, and she encourages persistence and patience in the face of challenges.

- Create dual-purpose content: When creating content for partnerships, do it so that it can be used on your own blog.
