Where can I put my vegetarian recipes so people can read them for free, but I can make money?

I want to post my vegetarian recipes somewhere where I can make money yet people can take them for free. I want to make money because I'm 16, won't be able to afford college and I'm worried about my future. I want other people to be able to take them for free because no one likes to pay for a recipe then pay for the ingredients. My recipes are a lot different, foods containing meats, made vegetarian like ';fish'; tacos.


What can I do?Where can I put my vegetarian recipes so people can read them for free, but I can make money?
Ah yes, that IS tthe question.


I have a website power packed with some of the most original and delicious vegetarian and vegan recipes available including more than two dozen excellent eggless cakes, I too have recipes utilizing time honored culinary techniques but use foods from a plant based diet. . . no meats fish, fowl, game, eggs or the juices and biproducts thereof. The recipes I have developed over a lifetime are offered all free of charge and I do this pretty much as a public service. Making money from the site has not yet really happened. I have ideas about how to translate that into cold hard cash but frankly it takes $ to get them to happen. At this time I have more than 500 recipes each sitting on its own page in process of an updated site and it has taken many months to get it where it is and most of them are not yet posted to my site -- I am still several months out from getting it all together and uploaded. It is a huge amount of work for a non-technical person. At this point there is an online mall and some google ads but that has generated only about $100.00 in six months so I don't think it will cover the cost of tuition for you. I wish you every success with your project and when you figure out how to capitalize on your God-given talent while not charging for the recipes -- please let me know.


My immediate thought for you, however, is to actually put your manuscript together and send it off to a cookbook publisher whose work you like along with a cover letter talking about your commitment to the vegetarian way of life and your fabulous recipes and mentioning your age. Give it an age appropriate title and see if that gets you published. It may..I wish you all the very best of luck with it.Where can I put my vegetarian recipes so people can read them for free, but I can make money?
You would need to set up a website and have click through adds on it. The adds would pay you when people visit your page, but it isn't much. Instead of doing this, keep your grades up so you can get scholarship money towards college. Also talk to your guidance counselor, anyone can afford college if they really want to go.





FYI - We need more vegetarian nutritionists, and it sounds like you may be interested.
You'd make a website where people can view the recipes for free, then sell ad space, and you'd get paid when people visit your site. Then, of course, you tell me what the website is! :] Also, keep your grades up, you can't get into collage without those.
You could set up your own domain and let people see the ingredients in the recipe but make them pay like a penny for the directions on how to make it :)





and then get advertisers to sponsor you.
You can make a website and post your recipes, you make money off the advertisements you put on the website.
Uh, what? You can't eat your cake and have it, too. Would you rather make people pay or enrich the world with free recipes? Can't have it both ways unless you really want to annoy people.
Wait..wait. Vegetarian recipes that contain meats? Something is screwy here.





EDIT: ahhhh got it.
u can try doing a website that is free to view, but you put advertisement from various companies on it and they pay you a fee...
The only thing you could do is get a site popular enough for advertisers to buy space on the website.
Start a website and sell ad space on it.
Try a news paper or a Cooking magazine.
