What do we do when we want to cook something new? Some people look into various cookbooks, encyclopedias, or the simplest option is to go online and find something suitable on culinary sites.
Some culinary sites have more than 1000-2000 recipes, and the site is still very young. It is clear that they could not write such a number of recipes, but hired copywriters to write them. Now you can start making money by writing and selling recipes.
You prepare some dish for yourself, photograph the step-by-step actions, and then sell it to the site. For each recipe you will be paid on average $5-10. If you cook at least 3 times a day, then at the highest rate, your earnings will be equal to 30 dollars per day.
What recipes to write
You can write absolutely any recipe that is not on the site. The larger and more complex it is, the better. Naturally, simple recipes like “Bread and Butter” will not work.
I recommend writing recipes about fruit salads. They are always quick to prepare, don't require a lot of ingredients, are quick to write, and always have enough steps to pay.
Where to get recipes
You can simply cook for yourself, without forgetting to take photos. Or type a list of recipes on the Internet and cook them. Some sites do not require unique photographs; you can write a recipe without cooking, taking step-by-step photographs from the Internet.
Payment for prescriptions
They pay differently on each site. On one site they can pay $3 for 1 recipe, and on another it’s already $10. Here, everything also depends on the rating; the more recipes written, the more you will be paid.
Some sites do not pay for the recipe itself, but only for their views. You shouldn't work on such sites! Yes, you will make profits constantly, but the profits will move very slowly. Payment can be charged from $1 per 1000 views. It is much more profitable to sell them.
Why does the site need this?
- The site receives only benefits for purchased recipes.
- Their website is constantly filled with unique content.
- Constantly filling with unique photos.
- Due to payment, site traffic is growing every day.
- They make a lot of profit from advertising.
Where to look for sites that buy recipes
There are many culinary sites but, unfortunately, not everyone buys recipes. To find sites that buy them, you just need to enter “Earn money by selling culinary recipes” or “Make money by selling recipes” into the search engine. In the top results you will get several sites that buy them. You just need to choose the one that suits you with the price and rules.
The higher the payment, the higher the requirements. For a payment of $10, you will not only have to post the recipe, but also describe it a little. Cooking time, its difficulty level, etc. All photographs must be unique and of the highest quality.
5-10 $ - the price is not at all high and many will not be happy with it, then you can sell recipes directly by finding a good customer. They will buy from you at a price of $15-30. But naturally there will be very strict rules and large texts. To find such a customer, just enter the phrase “I buy culinary recipes for the price __” into a search engine.
I would still recommend starting with regular sites to gain experience.
What must be in a prescription to be accepted?
For quality writing, you will need to adhere to several criteria:
- All photographs must be of the highest quality.
- Photos must be unique! Photographed by you. It depends on what site you sell them on. Some sites welcome non-unique instructions.
- The recipe must have several steps. They must be written with the slightest precision. Everything should be clear.
- Beautiful final photo.
- Good description.
- Literacy.
These are the main criteria. Some sites may have more or less.
Do everything gradually, first write simple ones with low pay. When I first learned about this income, I wrote 10 recipes that same day. Naturally, 9 of them were rejected, and the reason for this was “Poor description, less than 200 words, no photos in one of the steps.” Naturally, I tried to make money quickly and didn’t pay so much attention to the rules. You start with the simplest thing, write no matter at what price. To begin with, you just need to find out whether the descriptions you write are suitable. If not, what is the mistake? Correct it! And after that, start writing more complex recipes, with your photographs.
If you buy to order, then you shouldn’t check yourself. You must show the customer your best sides the first time. After several unsuccessful jobs, the customer may refuse to work with you, so you should do everything very carefully and double-check everything several times. You will not receive $10 right away; as a rule, you must first prove yourself.
Payment table
- $3 – up to 10 works.
- $5 – up to 15 works.
- 7$ – up to 100 work
- $10 – over 100 works.
As you have seen, everything is not so simple here. But gaining this hundred will not be so difficult if you work actively and constantly add new ones. This rate table was taken from the Webspoon shopping site. Other sites may have slightly different prices, both higher and lower. Unfortunately, there is no referral program for purchasing culinary recommendations. The referral system is only available on those sites that pay for viewing cooking descriptions, but there is no point in attracting people there; the earnings will be extremely small.
To increase your earnings, photograph the same step several times. Then you can post one recipe on 4-5 sites. Then your earnings will no longer be 3 dollars for 1 recipe, but 10-15. This is not prohibited by the rules, the main thing is that there are unique photographs.
Don't turn this into work! Cook for yourself just to eat, don’t forget to take photos. Then it will not be a job, but just a small habit that will bring you good income!
This is all. Making money from cooking is not even a job, but just a simple hobby that will bring you money. Take pictures of your cooking, always cook something new, and then you will receive a constant income for simple work.
Reviews and comments
Andrexon,
Where have you seen that recipes are sold for pennies like on the review site? There are a lot of sites for buying recipes on the Internet that buy them at high prices! You can check it yourself if you have any doubts. I made good money from this myself.
My wife and daughter now take pictures of their creations at almost every feast before their “tasting” :). Personally, I am the first to be their fan and a sampler of their dishes! Honestly, I’ve never heard of making money like this from recipes, I’ll have to educate my cooks, although they are more interested in taking photos and only exchange them with their friends.
SemenS, not only can webmasters buy a recipe from you, but they can also buy photographs for these recipes for good money. Nowadays, unique photographs are highly valued. Your wife and daughter can even post photos on a special service where they sell and buy unique photographs, and make some money from this. Such services are often visited by webmasters in search of unique photo material.
I can confirm that you can make money by selling recipes. My girl made money like this at one time, she cooked something, photographed it, described it, and then sold it. I no longer went into detail about where she sold it and for how much, but the main thing is that she was really interested in it. It seems to me that if there is such a desire, it is better to make your own website and post recipes there, after some time you will be able to earn money.
It’s interesting, I would try it, especially since I have my own recipes, although I’m a guy, I’m the only one who cooks at home, and I have personal recipes. Give an example of at least one such site where they pay that kind of money for recipes, if there are any.
Celebration is just around the corner. How to surprise your spoiled guests? A gorgeously set table! As a housewife, I will be more interested not in the ingredients, but in the method of serving. For example, Olivier salad. Well, it’s much easier. Boring. But if you approach the design creatively and show off, your guests will appreciate it. The well-forgotten old acquires new colors. I would appreciate interesting dishes and unusual decoration. If there are a lot of such recipes, I’ll say right away: I’m a regular visitor!

So there are a lot of recipe sites, but in order to make money, you need to photograph each stage, for example, puff lard, and the general appearance. How long will it take? And it seems to me that the project may be real, because sponsors of kitchen appliances hang out on just such sites with recipes, and all sorts of graters and ceramic knives have risen very well on such sites for housewives.
That's right, it really takes a lot of time to create one recipe precisely because each step must not only be photographed, but also correctly described. No one will buy a non-unique description, and you also need to monitor the quality of the photo. Prepare everything, photograph and describe, then just sell and get 10 dollars, this is more of your time. It’s better to kill this time for writing articles and get 4 times more.

An interesting type of income, especially for those who constantly cook something. I myself often look for recipes on the Internet. Therefore, while cooking, why not take pictures of the process and post it online. I need to try it, especially since I cook it all the time.
I used to write recipes for a recipe site like Otzovik, i.e. there the accruals were for views. But then the administration began to actively block new recipes, and I stopped working there. But out of habit, I photograph what I cook. It turns out something like this: _otorecept.co…iew_319548.html (this is my last published recipe on that site). Please look with a trained eye. How much can you sell a text of this quality with such photos for? Or shouldn't you even try?
It’s a good idea, I love and know how to bake just for family and friends, but I never even thought of posting photos and recipes. Although I myself am constantly watching something new and interesting.
Lilian, good soup recipe. I don’t know how much this material costs; I’ve never sold recipes. The photographs are good, everything is described simply and clearly. By the way, based on this recipe, you can write several more. Instead of minced meat - mushrooms are one, shrimp are two, and just a sea cocktail is three. All three options are delicious. I would like that, but I cook by eye and don’t have an exact recipe.
I only cook by eye what I’m used to: cutlets, chops, stewed and baked dishes. But very often I make something interesting using recipes from the Internet. Here is the exact recipe...
Here I was again opening my folder with recipes and thinking... I have a blog, though it’s very sluggish. I don’t have the time... or even the desire to do it. Views there are also almost always zero. So, maybe we shouldn’t bother and just sell recipes? Post articles on stock exchanges? This is where I wanted to ask how many photos to put there and what amount to ask for the text... Otherwise, I almost photograph every sneeze, and it turns out that the recipe contains about a dozen photos (in cakes, even more) - this is probably not what customers need ?
Well, why not, on the contrary, they want a lot of photos, a step-by-step recipe. I don’t know how much demand there will be; there are a lot of such articles now. I tried to sell a very good recipe just once, but they never bought it. It’s still hanging on the stock exchange, I don’t even remember about it anymore.
Lilian, maybe you should rebuild your blog. Cook not from photos, but from videos. The idea is this: you post a photo of the finished dish, set a price, and then cook it together with the customer online. You don’t just sell an article, but control the process itself.
Maybe it would be better to make your own website based on this? For example, the well-known say7, there are all recipes with photos from the author. Or, as an option, a group on a social network will be quite popular; recipes with unique photos are generally a success.
I can recommend another type of culinary site - simple recipes for men with a lot of photos and videos. Today I decided to fry cabbage with mushrooms, but I don’t know how to chop it, which side to start with, it’s round on all sides. Somehow I cut it into squares, but it should be stripes. That’s why I wouldn’t refuse such a site with simple advice.
YouTube will be a big competitor to a paid site. There’s a lot there, recipes and methods, and everything is free. It was there that I saw how quickly and easily you can peel a herring or how to fry fish with bones so that the bones become soft.
I think this business has not been particularly profitable for a long time. Only if you develop your resource. I’d rather write a hundred regular reviews and money will constantly drip from them. Rather than one recipe that requires you to take pictures at all stages of cooking, describe it, edit the photo and only then look for a buyer. My good friends made money from this only at the very beginning. When this was not enough and was in great demand. And as mentioned above, YouTube is much more convenient than photo recipes.
Selling content, and in the frequency of articles, has long been used by many people who make money on the Internet.
Copywriting is so widespread that it is practiced by thousands of authors from all over the planet. And it’s not at all difficult to connect such work with your interests, because the topic of materials can be any.
Making money from culinary recipes is one of the areas of copywriting that is ideal for all those who cook from time to time. Even if you are not preparing the most exquisite dish, take a camera with you, photograph the cooking process and then write a detailed description.
Selling recipes
A huge number of website owners about cooking will be happy to buy high-quality materials from you. You won’t have to search for them for long; just use the Advego or Etxt exchanges to add materials for sale and wait a little.
If you accompany your texts with your own photographs, you can rest assured that buyers will be found quickly.
Tips for making money with recipes:
- photograph every step of cooking, even if it is simple (grate carrots or pour oil);
- do not use information from other sites, photographs and text must be unique;
- try to create voluminous texts with at least 500 characters;
- write competently, and try to make high-quality photographs;
- be sure to list all ingredients;
- At the end of the article, place a photo of the finished dish.
Creating recipes is not that difficult, and the most important thing is that by preparing just one dish, you can create several recipe articles at once.
Just take different photos (for example, change the dishes and angles), and then write your own invented description. There are many buyers, so you won’t have to re-sell recipes to one person.
Selling articles directly to culinary sites
In addition to exchanges, you can sell your recipes to several culinary resources at once. There are quite a few of them on the Internet, here are some of those that are ready to cooperate with the authors:
- Webspoon. (strict moderation with payment from 3 to 10 $ per recipe);
- Prosmak. ($ per 1000 characters);
- Findfood. (from 150 characters, not so strict moderation);
- Fotorecept. (up to 500 rubles per 1000 views).
Here are 4 great projects where you can publish 4 recipes at once, preparing the same dish. The most important thing is that the materials are not similar, otherwise your work will not be accepted or will be blocked in the future, and you will not be able to withdraw money.
On the Internet there are a considerable number of sites ready to buy culinary recipes for various dishes with step-by-step photographs. These can be either original recipes or recipes for dishes known to almost everyone.
How to search for sites that buy recipes
In order to find sites interested in purchasing your recipes, you can do this:
- enter the following phrases into the search engine you use: “sell a recipe with a photo”, “make money on culinary recipes”, “sites that buy step-by-step recipes”;
- look at the search results and go to articles that meet your queries;
- write down the addresses of several found sites that buy culinary recipes;
- compare the conditions for purchasing ready-made recipes and choose the ones that are most beneficial for you.
Below in the article you will find a list of sites that publish recipes for money.
Preparing a recipe for sale
In order for your recipe to be accepted for publication on the site, it must be well designed.
Text
When preparing the text of your masterpiece, pay attention to the fact that it is better to divide the recipe into two text blocks: first, a description of the dish and the history of its appearance, then the ingredients and a step-by-step description of preparation with photos.
Don't forget to indicate the cooking time and number of servings. It is better to list the ingredients used to prepare a dish.
It is best to look at ready-made publications on websites that buy recipes with photographs in order to understand how to properly prepare the recipe. For example, take a look here. On this site that buys recipes, using the example of an article about how to make charlotte with apples, you can understand what an ideal recipe for sale should look like.
Photo
To ensure that your recipe photos look decent, follow these guidelines:
- It is advisable to have a good camera (not necessarily a professional one, but it’s still better not to use a point-and-shoot camera);
- prepare the table for filming (cover it with a beautiful tablecloth, turn on the light);
- use good utensils;
- prepare the dish on one table, and take photographs on another (prepared for filming);
- the final shot of the finished dish should be of the highest quality.
List of sites where you can sell your recipes with photos
There are 2 options for paying for prescriptions: one-time payment And payment for impressions.
For a one-time payment, you will receive the amount specified in the terms and conditions published on the website.
On sites that pay for impressions, you will be rewarded for each view of an article with your recipe as long as the site exists.
Which payment option to choose is up to you. It's best to try both options.
Pay-per-impression sites:
- fotorecept.com: pay up to 500 rubles. per 1000 views;
- bolshoyvopros.ru: a portal about everything in the world, where you can earn money not only from culinary articles, but also from publications on any topic.
Sites with one-time payment:
- webspoon.ru: pay 50 rubles. for the recipe;
- findfood.ru: from 30 rub. up to 60 rub.;
- kuhatpodano.ru: from 35 rubles to 50 rubles;
- multi-varca.ru: you can earn from 100 rubles. for each recipe for a dish prepared in a slow cooker.
How to make more money from recipes
In order to earn more money from selling original recipes, you can use a little trick. When preparing each new recipe, take several photographs of each step of the preparation of the dish from different angles, and then use these photos to write several different articles about the same dish for different sites with different photographs.
Just remember that all recipe descriptions must be different for different sites (check articles for plagiarism before publishing).
Selling articles online is one of the most common ways to make money. This type of activity is so popular that only lazy people don’t engage in copywriting. In addition, this is an ideal way for mothers on maternity leave and housewives to earn money, especially considering the fact that the topic of the content can be chosen in accordance with your hobbies. One of these topics is culinary recipes, which are almost always in demand. Moreover, you don’t need to know how to prepare culinary delights: it’s enough to have a normal camera, a little time to film the process, and then put it up for sale.
Recipe Tips
To be able to sell a step-by-step recipe, you need to compose it correctly so that it looks really presentable and interesting. Here are a few nuances you should pay attention to:
→ Carefully photograph each step of cooking several times, even if it is simply adding oil to food;
→ All photographs must be unique, as well as the text;
→ The text of the recipe must be voluminous - at least 500 characters without spaces;
→ Also, the text must be correctly composed, and photographs must be of good quality;
→ The text must list all the ingredients used;
→ At the end of the recipe there must be a photo of the finished dish.
The process of creating recipes is not so difficult, and most importantly, by photographing from different angles, you can make several recipes at once, writing different descriptions, and then sell the recipe on several content exchanges at once. After all, there are many buyers for recipes, but re-selling the text is not entirely correct!
Where and how to sell recipes?
If you are just starting your career as a recipe author, you can try selling them on the most popular content exchanges Etxt and Advego. As a rule, there, texts of this kind are sold out immediately. In addition, if you study the advertisement a little, you will definitely find offers to purchase ready-made original recipes.
The second option is the direct sale of your recipes by a culinary resource. Their number is large, but not everyone is ready to cooperate with third-party authors, much less pay them money for it. I offer you four of the most popular resources where you can make money on recipes.
Webspoon 
Very strict moderation of recipes with high requirements. However, here you can earn from 100 to 400 rubles for one published recipe. The cost of a recipe depends on your rating and tariff plan on the site, as well as the number of published recipes.
Prosmak 
Here you can also get money for your recipes. The moderation of the resource is not so strict, but the prices are not high. For a recipe of 500 characters you will receive $0.3, 1000 characters - $0.6, 1500 - $1 and for a text of 2000 characters - $1.3.
Most everyday activities can, with the right approach, act as a source of main or auxiliary income. This is easy to do on the Internet. One such option is to prepare delicious, beautifully presented, favorite food in your home kitchen. Few people know that by preparing any dish for the family, you can simultaneously earn money from it on the World Wide Web.
This possibility is quite real, so this article will mainly be of interest to those who know interesting nuances, know how to cook and love this activity. It will be explained in detail how you can make decent money on the Internet through culinary recipes and cooking. This method is especially relevant for those who often have the opportunity to surprise loved ones with all sorts of masterpiece dishes prepared in their home kitchen, as well as for young mothers or housewives who want to have additional income.
How to make money from cooking recipes
The three most effective, efficient and profitable ways to make money from recipes need careful consideration:
- sale on content exchanges;
- placement on special thematic services;
- publication on your blog.
Of course, the last method is the most profitable option, however, in terms of implementation, it is very complex, since the technique implies the presence of more than just culinary abilities. In addition, you will need the ability to create blogs or websites and provide them with appropriate support. You also need to have knowledge of promotion and optimization, and have skills in working with search engines, since in their absence you will not be able to compete with other similar thematic resources.
At first impression, this is all really difficult, however, if you take up the matter responsibly, with an ardent desire to achieve your planned goals, then an excellent result can be achieved very quickly. The Internet can help with this, where you can learn everything.
Those who are not closely familiar with the blogging topic or simply do not have the desire to engage in this are recommended to consider, and maybe use, other methods. They will not require any special skills from you. For this reason, we will focus on a detailed examination of these simple methods of making money on the global Internet using recipes.
Selling recipes on thematic resources
So let's get started. You can earn good money by posting your unique recipes on websites specialized in this topic. Now there are several such resources, but they are all too “young” and fully undeveloped. You need to pay attention to the “pioneer” in this matter, a very reliable site “ Photorecept.ru”.
Anyone can earn income from this service and earn money regularly. All you need is knowledge of an extraordinary recipe and a series of good photographs showing all stages of preparing the dish. Of course, you will also need to verbally describe the actions being carried out, but, usually, users do not have problems with this. It will also not be extremely difficult to capture the manipulations being carried out on a camera.
This project pays money for views of a recipe posted on the resource. The amount of remuneration is quite variable - from 10 to 520 rubles for 1000 views. The amount changes due to several circumstances:
- author's personal rating coefficient;
- the section in which you publish the recipe;
- accompanying video and photographic materials and volumes of text description.
This is, in a way, the highlight of the project, since it turns out that monetary earnings have no restrictions. One published recipe will continuously generate cash income as long as it is posted on the resource page and arouses the interest of visitors.
Important! The important thing is that it is necessary to post a new, beautifully designed recipe at least once every 29 days (month), otherwise, according to the rules of the site, cash accruals will be suspended. You can “unfreeze” the receipt of money by adding a new photo recipe!
Step-by-step instructions for publishing a recipe
Let’s consider point by point all the necessary actions that need to be completed to start making money on the “Photorecept.ru” resource using your recipes:
- go through the registration procedure;
- fill out the profile items as completely as possible and undergo identity verification via e-mail to ensure that the entered data is correct;
- then, you boldly proceed to publish the pre-formatted, edited recipe. To do this, go to the “Write a recipe” section and indicate the name of your project. Click the “Continue” button;
- carefully select the desired section, and then the subsection corresponding to the type of your own dish. In addition, upload photos of the prepared dish, indicate the nationality of the cuisine and click “Continue”;
- The next step will be to write the recipe itself. The text lists the ingredients, cooking time, and attaches step-by-step photo and video materials;
- Having completed the complete design of the entire recipe, you can begin publishing (the “Publish” button).
Attention! Take your time with publishing. First, a scrupulous check of all completed fields is required to avoid errors. This is done by clicking the “Preview” button!
Requirements for published recipes
In order for your completed recipe to pass moderation and become available for review, you must follow a number of rules established on the site:
- The recipe must contain at least three ingredients. The dish needs to be interesting and unique. In other words, there is no need to try to beautifully imagine preparing an omelet from four eggs;
- the recipe described must be described by the author (copying is unacceptable!);
- the cooking process must be accompanied by unique (real) photographs taken during the preparation;
- Each exhibited work must certainly contain more than 525 characters of text information.
It is very convenient to engage in this type of income for people who prepare delicious cakes to order at home. It is these craftsmen who first of all need to pay attention to the resource “Photorecept.ru”. He will help you organize double earnings - one from the completed order, and the other from viewing the author's culinary creations.
All you need to do is beautifully capture, correctly describe and correctly post the step-by-step cooking process on the “PhotoRecipe” resource. The advantage of this solution is obvious. You will receive the money you earn for completing an order and will additionally constantly have passive income from recipe views. This is a very interesting and profitable idea! Let's now consider the issue of making money from recipes sold on content exchanges.
How to make money on culinary recipes using thematic sites
You can simultaneously put up your own recipes for sale in several places to increase your income. The following culinary sites have proven themselves to be the most worthy:
- “Findfood.ru” – not strict moderation, 55-60 rubles for a photo recipe, up to 100 rubles for a video recipe;
- “Webspoon.ru” – a thorough check of all materials provided, many tariff plans for earning money. Maximum 400 rubles for a high-quality, interesting recipe;
- “Photorecept.ru” – subject to all conditions of the resource, payment up to 520 rubles for 100 views.
Profitable sale of your own recipes on content exchanges
Most Internet users know that there are a large number of culinary-related resources on the Internet. They all have large databases of interesting and incredibly diverse dish recipes. A reasonable question arises: where do so many cooking methods and combinations of food ingredients come from? It is impossible for even a group of professional chefs to know such a variety of recipes.
The secret here lies in the focused work of webmasters who buy new recipes on numerous content exchanges or order professional copywriters to find and describe culinary recipes for a monetary fee. They find such specialists on popular and little-known content exchanges.
There are only two most “developed” and well-known exchanges where you can profitably sell your own recipe – these are “eTXT” and “Advego”. These are very visited resources, where webmasters are mainly looking for regular writers for mutually beneficial cooperation.
Of course, making money on recipes using these methods has its own minor features. First of all, on exchanges you will receive a lump sum of real money for selling a recipe; you don’t need to gain any views here. Usually, there is no need to wait long to purchase a recipe put up for sale, since there are a lot of people who want to get their hands on the unique material. Highly written recipes accompanied by step-by-step photographs are especially quickly purchased for thematic sites.
Recommendations for competently selling the content of your own recipes on exchanges
You need to get down to business seriously and the profits will start flowing very soon. By following these recommendations, your recipes will quickly sell out for good money.
- Do not try to copy text materials from other sources. Photos and texts must be unique, that is, created only by you.
- Each step of cooking must be recorded on a video camera or camera. You need to film even basic manipulations, for example, chopping, cutting, mixing, etc.
- There is no need to photograph the ingredients in the packages. The manufacturer will not pay you for advertising.
- It is better to turn off the flash on the camera when taking pictures, otherwise numerous glares will significantly spoil the appearance of your masterpiece.
- Try to describe all actions in detail. This will result in larger texts that cost more.
- Be sure to list all, even the most insignificant, ingredients, indicating the exact weight proportions. You can't miss anything.
- Remember literacy. Nobody wants to buy works with errors.
- Photos must be clear and up-to-date. There is no need, for example, to photograph a chicken along with the kitchen table and all the accompanying utensils, jars, plates, etc.
- Always end your article with a perfectly captured photograph of the finished dish from the most appetizing angle.
Conclusion
Making money on culinary recipes is a very unique way to earn considerable monetary profit on the Internet. Today there are many opportunities for such enrichment, since all culinary resources on the World Wide Web require new, exclusive, interesting recipes for dishes to actively attract new interested visitors and regular subscribers.
For authors, some options are very profitable and, after working hard for several months, you can consistently receive a lot of money only occasionally by replenishing the range of your culinary masterpieces on specialized sites.
