How I Earn $10,000 Every Month by Creating Cooking Videos On Youtube

If you had told me a few years ago that I’d be earning $10,000 a month from cooking videos, I would’ve laughed. Cooking has always been a passion of mine, but I never thought it could turn into such a rewarding career. Now, thanks to YouTube, I’ve turned my love for food into a thriving business, and I’m excited to share how I made it happen.

It all started as a way to unwind after work. I’ve always loved experimenting with recipes and trying out new dishes in my kitchen, and one day, I decided to start filming myself cooking and sharing my creations on YouTube. At first, it was just a fun hobby—I used my phone to record the process and uploaded the videos with little expectation of what might come from it. I’d share recipes for simple home-cooked meals and tips for making cooking easier and more enjoyable.

To my surprise, my channel slowly started gaining viewers. People seemed to enjoy the straightforward, no-frills approach I brought to cooking. I wasn’t a professional chef, but that made my channel relatable. As the views increased, so did my subscriber count, and I hit my first 1,000 subscribers within a few months. That allowed me to start earning money through YouTube’s ad program, though the earnings were small at first.

What made a real difference was consistency. I made sure to upload at least two new videos each week, and I started improving the quality of my content—better lighting, clearer instructions, and more variety in the types of recipes I shared. As my content improved, my audience grew faster. I reached 10,000 subscribers, and my ad revenue started to pick up significantly.

Beyond ads, I found other ways to increase my earnings. I joined affiliate programs with kitchenware and food product companies. Every time someone clicked on one of my affiliate links in the video descriptions and made a purchase, I earned a commission. This added a nice boost to my income.

Then came the sponsorship deals. As my channel grew, brands started reaching out to collaborate. From cookware to food delivery services, companies were willing to pay me to feature their products in my videos. These sponsorships became a key part of my earnings, and I was careful to only promote products I genuinely liked and used in my own kitchen, which kept my audience’s trust.

But the biggest leap came when I decided to create my own line of products. I launched an eBook filled with my favorite recipes, along with a line of branded cooking tools. My audience, who had followed my channel for months (or even years), was excited to support me by purchasing these products. The sales from my eBook and merchandise added a whole new stream of income, pushing my monthly earnings to $10,000.

Now, cooking videos are my full-time job, and I couldn’t be happier. I get to share my love of food with people from all over the world, while earning a living doing something I truly enjoy. It’s been a long journey, filled with hard work and countless hours of filming and editing, but it’s also been incredibly rewarding. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that when you combine passion with persistence, you can create amazing opportunities—even in the most unexpected ways!
