The blog, initiated in March 2012, began as a platform to document and share vegan recipes, created by the author who collaborated with their spouse for photography. Its popularity surged rapidly, leading to a cookbook proposal by a publisher, culminating in the release of the first cookbook in 2014, followed by another in 2016. Both books performed well commercially. The blog's exceptional photography opened opportunities to style and photograph for food magazines.
However, 2016 presented significant personal challenges for the author, including the sudden loss of a parent and a thyroid cancer diagnosis requiring surgery and treatment. These events hindered the author's ability to consistently maintain the blog. Consequently, it was officially retired in 2021 as life circumstances took precedence.
Despite its decline, at its peak, the blog garnered 8-10K daily visitors and generated around $1,000 monthly from ad sales. Currently, it attracts about 600 daily visitors and earns $175-$200 per month via ads. The blog still retains a considerable social media following, which would transition to a new owner.
The demand for vegan recipes continues to rise, providing substantial potential for growth. The blog presents a promising opportunity for an individual passionate about food blogging to revive and potentially surpass its former success. The evolving vegan market offers significant monetization possibilities, underscored by the success of other vegan bloggers who profit solely from their blogs, bypassing the need for cookbook publication.
