Good Food Creator = Good Mood Creator!
We all share a unique relationship with food! Culinary Arts as a genre is extremely vast and encompasses cooking, its subset baking, gastronomy, prepping, plating and presenting, and more. Some love to make delicacies and pour their heart and soul into making them, and some love to devour lip-smacking multi-cuisine food and baked delights.
Not only a basic necessity but food is also a lifestyle choice. In this digital age, food is not only being made globally by creators, chefs and commoners, but the process of making it and plating and consuming it is also one of the top watched genres by aficionados!
Considerably, during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the whole world was confined, food became an even more important part of people’s lives. Right from whipping up Dalgona Coffee to baking Oreo Mug Cakes to frying Cereal Pancakes to quick Bachelor-friendly meal preps, the social media channels were flooded with food content. And, continue to do so!

How are Chefs monetising?
Food reviews and blogging
Due to the credibility that chefs have in their domain, they regularly post food reviews on social media. Chefs even maintain their blogs on blogging websites or even micro-blog on Facebook and Instagram. This leads to monetisation at a later stage where they are requested to post paid reviews and produce paid content for a certain hospitality group or brand. Chefs also contribute to media publications as columnists and get paid to share their expertise.
Recipe books
One of the most traditional ways of monetising their craft amongst chefs is by penning down their own recipe books. Celebrity chefs, especially, take this route and are approached by publication houses for book deals.
Cooking for orders
Pandemic saw the rise of home chefs and home-kitchen and even cloud kitchens. Thousands of chefs launched their own ventures and started accepting personal orders for catering for events. There is a huge market for good chefs catering for corporate events and even taking private orders through social media.
Branded Deals
Brands often approach esteemed chefs for native advertising. Chefs with a strong community often get paid collaboration opportunities with brands. They produce audio-visual or sometimes static content for the brands. Under various regulatory bodies, the chefs have to either add a paid partnership tag on posts or announce in the beginning of a video or podcast that it is a branded deal.
The TagMango Way: Workshops & Courses
One of the easiest and simplest ways in which chefs can monetise their skill-set is by hosting live or pre-recorded workshops or courses on TagMango – a SaaS platform enabling Creator Monetisation. About 100+ professional chefs have chosen TagMango to add a sustainable source of income.
