If you love cooking and coming up with your own recipies then you’ve probably thought about writing a cookbook. Have you ever thought about started a recipe web site?

With the growing rate of internet users less people are buying cookbooks. Why is this? Because it is too simple to get online and find a recipe online. A simple google search will provide thousands of recipes instantly. Cookbook and recipe websites are growing constantly. Why not start your own?

Your website could sell cookbooks or kitchen related gadgets for the professional chef. You would need an experienced web site designer to provide you with an e-commerce store. Or you could try a simpiler way and use eBay or Yahoo marketplace. Make sure to post a lot of recipes though, this will drive traffic to your website from search engines.

There is also the possibility of chargin a membership fee for access to your cookbook. This could generate monthly revenue if you charge per month. The best way to generate members is to allow them to view part of your cookbook/recipe. They would need to subscribe to view the complete recipe.

Your cookbook could even be specialized. You could have a diet site, quick meals, deserts, meals for 10 or more. This is a niche and choosing the right niche is essential. You don’t want too much competition but you also want something in demand.
