Hello Everyone!
Welcome to Holiday Startup Company (https://holidaystartup.com/).
We are going to share a exciting case study regarding how a simple recipe site earns $5000+ USD per month.
This is an example of an age old blogging style business model that makes a lot of money where one girl, Callan, created a blog on a topic she loved.
And think what?
That blog now makes her a job replacing income!
In this case, Job replacing for her in the US market.
Let’s begin…
Intro of Callan
Callan is a simple girl from Pennsylvania.
She was working in a regular job when covid hit.
Like most of the people at that time, she started working from home.
Suddenly she realized, she had a lot of time in hand.
Like many of us, she was trying different hobbies.
She tried gardening, reading and many more things.
Finally she found herself really interested in cooking.
She started creating fund recipes.
Later on, she decided to create a blog to keep record what she was doing.
Here’s the blog she created: https://thecozyplum.com/
She started the blog in 2020 in the covid days.
The Beginning of the Blog
Callan had no plan at the initial days.
She just kept writing about random recipes she was making.
She thought that’s everything for the blogging.
But this is just a part of the blogging.
She also was heavily focusing on Instagram and other social media to grow her presence.
Everything was find at that point.
She was getting some visitors also.
But there was no income.
She kept working the same things next 1 year but nothing happens.
The Growth
Eventually she learns the art of SEO.
She starts rewriting her blog posts to get them on Page 1 of Google Search.
If you don’t have any idea about what SEO is, you can just go to YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/) and you’ll find a lot of video on SEO.
Once her SEO started working,
She started seeing an uptake in traffic and that’s when she realized something.
Traffic coming from Google is more powerful than that of any social media.
In fact, she wrote an analysis about this as well.
One of her blog post went viral on Instagram ( you can check the post here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxGXutmRBgp/ ), Which got her 70,000 visits to the website, but that makes only $300 USD.
On the other hand, on average, 1000 visits from Google Search pays her $32 USD from Ads alone.
Side Hustles
Once her blog started to be more and more opular,
She started getting approached by different companies for various projects.
Companies asked her to do food photography.
And she started charging $1500 minimum for a project.
Also, companies asked her to write about them on her blog and she charged $1000 / post.
Side hustles kept making 20-30% of her total income and it kept growing.
Today, the side makes $5000 USD/month on average.
She quit her job and she is doing this full time.
Key Points of this Case Study

If you are doing things right, you will start seeing results in 24 months or less.
