Work At Home With Your Own Recipe Business


Do you love to cook? Are you looking for a way to work at home with your very own business? One of the most important things to consider when starting a home business is to choose something you love. And luckily, there are many options for potential business owners that love to cook. A recipe business is great because you don't actually have to cook anything. There are no supplies to purchase and no inventory to keep. Read on for more tips on how to make money selling your recipes.

One way is to sell your recipes one by one. Ebay is an excellent place to do this. Believe it or not, people will pay for a recipe, especially one that offers some allure. When listing a recipe for sale, include a picture of the finished product. Explain to the potential customer why your recipe is so valuable. If the recipe has a unique history behind it, be sure to include that. You can sell recipes for as little as $1 and as much as $20 or more. I have personally seen single recipes such as one man's legendary family chocolate chip recipe going for $20 each. If you offer the rights to the recipe, you'll get even more interested parties. Some people enter cooking and recipe contests and are always on the lookout for fantastic new recipes to call their own.

You could group all your best recipes into an informational product and sell them as an ebook. This can also be done through Ebay. Recipe collections that have a theme are often popular sellers. Examples include cookbooks that center around desserts, beverages, categories of ethnic food, slow cooker recipes, microwave meals, and so on.

Still another way to make money with recipes is by publishing a hard copy cookbook. There are self publishing companies that can publish your cookbook for a small fee. Or, you can try submitting an proposal for your cookbook to a literary agent or publishing house. Cookbooks make great school and church fundraisers, which is one way to sell large numbers of your product. You can also sell your cookbooks online. Cafe Press is a great site where you can create your cookbook at no cost. When someone orders a copy of your cookbook, Cafe Press creates and ships the product to the customer and your portion of the profits is sent to you.

With some creative thinking and a few great recipes, you can own and operate a thriving recipe business and join the ranks of successful business owners around the globe!
