Earn Money with Your Very Own YouTube Cooking Show

Many people who develop a passion for cooking tell a story of how it suddenly flared up, seemingly out of nowhere and one particular turn of events which leads to the discovery of such a passion is that of accidently watching a cooking show and utterly enjoying it. And who can blame you? Cooking gives you a chance to create both visual and gastronomic art at the same time, leaving plenty of room for experimentation. It can also be very therapeutic — just try walking down to your local market and picking out fresh ingredients and just try and tell me your mind doesn’t clear up and leave you feeling rejuvenated!

Since you’ll then naturally be honing your cooking skills through a lot of experimentation, your initial forays into the world of cooking will be far from having you turning out as a highly paid top chef and there’ll naturally be a lot of wastage as you burn things and arrive home to find that you’ve perhaps picked out some raw ingredients which are no good. So you’ll be spending and maybe even wasting a lot more money than what you make, if any, so a YouTube cooking show is perhaps a great way to go in order to generate some money with your cooking adventure even while you learn the ropes.

Develop a Format

Your personality is likely what will make the show a success, so that should be reinforced by a format which you develop and stick to. You could perhaps kick things off with a segment during which you try out a brand new recipe, perhaps followed by a segment during which you explore the next step of developing your signature dish, then maybe finally make the show interactive and read some comments or emails from your growing list of viewers. This is just a suggestion. You must otherwise take ownership of the show and make it your own. Are you a vegetarian maybe who’d like to cater to that specific market?

Make the Presentation Look Professional

Although you’re likely an amateur chef at this point in time, the presentation of your show itself must look and feel professional. It’s all about lighting and there’s one simple trick to use for any YouTube video show, even if it’s not explicitly a cooking show. In order to make what will likely be a messy kitchen setting look and feel professional, add some contemporary lamps. Yes, they may not otherwise belong in the typical kitchen setting when we speak about regular home interior decor, but what they do do is add that professional studio feeling to the setup which a regular onlooker can’t quite figure out just how it’s achieved.

Get an assistant (your sibling maybe) and you’ll just be killing it on the presentation and professionalism front.

Monetise Your Show

As you go along uploading new episodes or even live-streaming if your show is live, you’ll come across integrated ways through which to possibly monetise your YouTube cooking show, the details of which are technical and are explained to you with your use of the platform.
