Resources

When Savory Sojourn first started, we had no idea that it would eventually become a source of income for a full-time team, or a site that gets millions of pageviews per month. Over the last 10+ years of working on Savory Sojourn, we’ve learned a ton about growing and monetizing blogs.

On this page you’ll find links to some of our favorite resources, strategies, and advice around growing a blog and a presence online.

Income Reports

In the summer of 2011 we started an experiment called “The Food Blog Money Making Experiment.” The goal of the experiment was to find out if it was possible to create an income from a food blog. These are all the reports from that (successful!) experiment. We hope you find them helpful!
