I wanted to be a food blogger and I don’t know how to become one. I did some research and I found out many people were earning a lot via food blogging. According to Semrush, food bloggers make a median monthly income of $9,169 which is approximately 7 lakh rupees in India. Is it not astonishing? I was also amazed! But getting that much income is not an easy task. In this blog, I will tell you how I started my journey as a food blogger in India and started making money.
I was interested in cooking that too with our native Indian recipes from my childhood. Cooking was a hobby for me in which I spent my time more happily than anything. My friends really liked my cooking and suggested that food blogging can help me monetize my cooking skills. I was also interested in that idea.
Food blogging excited me because I can do the cooking which I loved and also earn from it. A profession related to cooking that I always wanted to have. I was so confident that I will make my food blog and start earning from it.
I wanted to start my food blog now out of my passion for cooking, but I had a lot of doubts. So, Google was a safe haven for me where I asked my confused questions. Surely it did clear my doubts to some extent but not completely. I got a lot of information like website development, website hosting, SEO, video blogging, etc. I was so confused about how I can proceed with food blogging.
All the processes I found out about food blogging made me feel so complicated. I thought why don’t I search for a service provider who could help me with the idea of food blogging. I searched on google again for website development and digital marketing companies in India and enquired about the charges to a lot of them.
Finally, I found Repute Digital Business Agency located in Coimbatore, Tamilnadu. Out of all the service providers I enquired about, Repute was the one to solve my doubts on the first call. Reviews
Repute stood first in my mind after enquiring about a lot of other websites and digital marketing service providers. I decided to proceed with them to do my food blogging website.
Services provided by Repute for the development of my food blogging website:
Website Development Social media Marketing SEO services Website Maintenance Services Ad placements on the website
These were the processes they have promised me to do in the first phase. They explained to me each and every process. Let me now explain how my food blog website Famous India Recipe was created from the scratch.
They suggested to go with WordPress to build my website. They developed my Famous Indian Recipes website from nothing to a good colourful website with a proper structure and theme. They did logo creation with branding.
Repute gave me topics for the recipes after doing keyword research. I gave them the recipes accordingly so that we could post food recipes in the blog for what the people search for. This is one of the best SEO practices in food blogging, which can increase your website visibility easily. When you write for what people search, your food blog becomes a hit in less time.
Repute provided me with affordable SEO services. All other service providers cost a huge sum for their SEO services.
They did good On-Page SEO by creating proper internal linking in my website which provides a proper structure and hierarchy. They also did the best Off-Page SEO bringing back legit backlinks which increased my Domain Authority. All these SEO processes followed brought me many visitors and increased my website ranking.
After bringing in good visitors through top SEO strategies, Repute started placing Ads on my Famous Indian Recipes Website. When the posting of my food recipes on my website increased, the money I earned via google ads also increased
Just creating and developing the website is alone not enough. You need to maintain the website and check whether many criteria are technically working properly such as the website loading time. If there is any problem with the website, it will directly hit the website’s ranking.
Consistent update of food blogs is required for proper ranking of the website. The ranking of my website was improving day by day because of proper maintenance.
Repute provides me with an Analytic report every month. They explain to me the developments that happened on the website, the number of blogs uploaded, improvement in earnings from Ads, social media activities, increase in the subscribers and followers, etc. Analytics Report was clear cut and legit. I could see the development of my food blog every month statistically.
All the above-said things are active on my website now. I have planned many strategies to develop my food blogging via digital marketing to increase my income. Some of the future food blogging strategies planned are,
Video Food Blogging Affiliate Marketing Email Marketing Increase more subscribers Plan to make me an influencer Ebook with my Recipes Guest Blogging
All these strategies are yet to be executed. Though I didn’t start earning 7 lakhs in a month, I started to earn a very good sum. I am looking forward to earning more.
This is my story of how I developed my food blog and started earning from it.

A Ukrainian living in the U.S. has reportedly hacked a major drug market on the Russian dark web, diverting some of its crypto proceeds. The man says he donated the digital cash stolen from the illicit website to an organization delivering humanitarian aid across his war-torn homeland.
Ukrainian-born cyber intelligence expert Alex Holden, who left Kyiv as a teenager in the 1980s and now lives in Mequon, Wisconsin, claims he has hacked into Solaris, one of Russia’s largest online drug markets, Forbes informs in a report.
Supported by his team at Hold Security, he was able to get hold of some of the bitcoin sent to dealers and the darknet site’s owners. The cryptocurrency, worth over $25,000, was later transferred to Enjoying Life, a charitable foundation based in the Ukrainian capital.
Without revealing exactly how he did it, Holden explained he took control of much of the internet infrastructure behind Solaris, including some administrator accounts, obtained the website’s source code and a database of its users and drop off locations for drug deliveries.
For a while, the Ukrainian and his colleagues also gained access to the “master wallet” of the marketplace. It was used by buyers and dealers to deposit and withdraw funds and operated as the platform’s crypto exchange, the article details.
Given the rapid turnover, the wallet rarely had more than 3 BTC at a time. Holden managed to appropriate 1.6 BTC and send it to Enjoying Life. Hold Security donated another $8,000 to the charity, which provides assistance to people affected by the war in Ukraine.
The darknet market Solaris is suspected of having connections to the hacking crew Killnet, which after Moscow launched its invasion in late February became one of Russia’s “patriotic” hacker groups vowing to target Ukrainians and their supporters.
Killnet has also conducted a number of attacks in the U.S., including on airport and state government websites as well as the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. It reportedly hit the Eurovision song contest, the Estonian government and Italy’s National Health Institute.
The group was also blamed for attacking Rutor, the main rival of Solaris, which became Russia’s leading underground drugs market after Hydra was shut down this past spring. According to U.S. cybersecurity firm Zerofox, Solaris was paying Killnet for DDoS services.
Besides the battlefield, Russia and Ukraine have also clashed in the online space, with the government in Kyiv recruiting experts for its own cyberforce. The special unit was tasked to identify and prevent Russian attacks but also hack back.
Hits such as those on Russia’s largest bank, Sber, and the Moscow Stock Exchange have been attributed to the Ukrainian IT army. Social media accounts associated with the hacktivist collective Anonymous took responsibility for many other attacks.

Law enforcement agencies in Germany have targeted Hydra, a leading darknet market (DNM). As part of an operation conducted with U.S. support, the German police were able to establish control over the servers of the Russian-language platform in the country and take down its website.
Hydra Market, one of the largest marketplaces on the darknet, has been shut down by German authorities which seized its server infrastructure. According to an announcement by the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), law enforcement agents also confiscated bitcoin worth around €23 million ($25 million). The following message appeared on Hydra’s website on Tuesday:
BKA carried out the raid together with the Central Office for Combating Cybercrime (ZIT) at the Public Prosecutor’s Office in Frankfurt which is leading the investigation against Hydra’s operators and administrators. They are wanted for running illegal online platforms facilitating the trade of drugs and money laundering.
The German police noted that Hydra had been active since at least 2015 before the seizures which came after extensive investigations by the BKA and ZIT. They started in August last year and were conducted with the participation of several U.S. agencies.
The darknet marketplace, which was accessible via the Tor network, was targeting Russian speakers. It had around 17 million customers and over 19,000 registered sellers, the press release detailed. Besides banned substances, these also offered stolen data, forged documents and digital services.
Hydra became a major darknet market after overtaking another Russian platform, DNM Ramp. According to the data compiled by the blockchain forensics company Chainalysis, the region of Eastern Europe sends more digital currency to darknet marketplaces than any other region.
Washington has been alleging Moscow’s involvement with malicious cyber actors like DNMs, ransomware groups and other crypto-related crime. In September, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned the Russia-based crypto broker Suex which is believed to have received more than $20 million from darknet markets like Hydra.
The Treasury Department has imposed sanctions against Hydra and a crypto exchange called Garantex. The trading platform, which has been operating mostly out of Russia, is suspected of processing over $100 million in transactions linked to illicit actors and darknet markets, including $2.6 million from Hydra.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Justice announced criminal charges against a Russian resident, Dmitry Pavlov, for conspiracy to distribute narcotics and conspiracy to commit money laundering. The 30-year-old Pavlov is allegedly the administrator of Hydra Market’s servers.
German law enforcement officials think that Hydra was likely the darknet market with the highest turnover globally. BKA and ZIT have estimated that its sales reached at least €1.23 billion in 2020 alone. They also noted that the investigations were hampered by the platform’s own ‘Bitcoin Bank Mixer’ service.
