By just mere reading you and all those comments, I sound much of a newbie to baking and cooking. I’d rather be silent. You guys really know your craft. I am just a simple kitchen mom. Anyways, I just love blogs about food.

Hi Adrianna,

Thanks for your input. And yes, I agree with you. Food bloggers with a strong Asian readership would be smart to pitch brands who are looking to reach that demographic (focusing on the fact that Asians are currently undermarketed). Thanks for picking up on that!

Best,
Casey

thanks for the great tips i find it very The networking is amazing because you will meet people.Very much interesting article I think the issue of Asians being an under-marketed demographic may speak more toward food bloggers who already have a solid Asian readership.

Hi Casey.

I am sure you have learned alot from the conference you have attended. I guess it is worth it. The added knowledge can really help you be a competent blogger. Not only for the taste but the prices of the ingredients involved in a dish. haha You have very good insights too Casey. This blog makes me hungry everytime I visit. Please… stop that. haha just kidding.

Hi Julie,

Thanks for your kindness and support! I enjoy sharing what I know with all of you food bloggers and hope that it will help more of you connect in a profitable way with the food industry at large. Keep me posted on what you’re doing, as I know you’ve got a lot of energy channeled toward that very goal too!

Casey,

This is a great article! Virginia Willis shared it in her post today/yesterday and that’s how I hopped over. You make some great points about networking. All of the events have attended this year have been great for networking as well as making friends. Your point about chicken is very interesting because my posts on chicken recipes have been very popular this year. Your point on Asians being undermarketed is very, very interesting to me! You’re awesome and thanks for all that you do!!

Hi Betty Ann,

Thanks so much. I hope that at the end of the day, what I’ve written here will help food bloggers find a new way to look at the work they’re doing, and ultimately find a way to get paid for it! I was thinking of you and your blog when I prompted readers to chime in on the Asian demographic angle. Knowing that your recipes are authentic family heirlooms, I wonder what your readership demographic is? If you find that you have a large Asian readership, that may be an angle for approaching brands that want to get their products in front of that segment of the buying/cooking population. (If not integrated into your actual content, perhaps in banner advertising opportunities.) Just a thought!

Hi Cheryl,

Thank you so much for stopping by! Yes, I have the same overflowing notebooks and have more ideas to share and to weave into my own work. Hoping to bring some of them to fruition before the next IACP conference! For now, though, I’m happy to know that you’ve found what I’ve written useful. Means a lot!
