Online Writing Idea # 2 -- Publish Recipes Online and Earn from Them

Yes, you may earn by writing recipes because they (recipes) have their own niche in the world wide web. There's this site hosted by Triond called Notecook that features all kinds of recipes. Triond's Mtrguanlao is my favorite when it comes to recipe-writing. I like her recipes because they are easy to prepare and the ingredients are available in any local market in the Philippines.

She has this passion for food experimenting. She coins her own terms and assigns unique names to her recipes that are grouped into four categories, namely: No-bake Cakes, Best for Merienda, Main Dish or Side Dish, and Beverages.

Mtrguanlao claims that she originally had no plans of becoming an online writer or blogger and that she only wanted to share her own recipes to a much larger audience - the online community. Her articles evolved from the recipes to more complicated topics after she was encouraged by some Triond friends to write for the other sites hosted by Triond. She will be launching her own niche blog on recipes very soon.

Online writing need not be complicated. You may start your writing or blogging career by asking yourself the following questions: What can I offer to my readers? In what aspect/area do I work best? I hope that just like Mtrguanlao you will find your own niche. Remember, ideas can be found anywhere - even in the kitchen.

Update: Mtrguanlao also writes in her blog called My Food, Your Food, Our Food.
