Get Paid to Photograph Meals You Already Make — $20 per Recipe

Posted 2 days ago

Worldwide

Summary

We’re looking for home cooks who’d like to earn $20 by sharing a meal they were already going to make. Your usual pasta, a family-favorite casserole, a quick breakfast—take a few phone photos and tell us how you made it. It’s a way to earn a little toward your grocery bill while sharing something already part of your routine. You don’t need to be a chef, professional photographer or experienced writer. We want real people sharing food they actually cook. What you’ll do Make a meal you already make at home. Send two or three clear, original phone photos, including the finished dish. A preparation photo is welcome. Explain the ingredients and amounts, steps, approximate cooking time and number of servings. Add your own practical notes: a shortcut, substitution, why it’s a favorite or something you’ve learned from making it. Type your explanation or use our simple voice-dictation option. No video filming or polished article required. Our editor handles formatting and may ask a follow-up if a recipe detail is missing. Use your own photos and words, with no AI-generated images or writing. You don’t have to invent a dish; if you adapted it from a particular recipe, tell us the source. Pay and ongoing work $20 per completed contribution: photos plus your written or spoken recipe explanation. One paid trial at the same rate. We’re looking for a small group of contributors interested in one or two recipes per week, with topics agreed in advance. Payments are through Upwork. Regular contributors receive a real contributor profile with their photo and bio; a food account or blog is welcome but not required. To apply, tell us what you enjoy cooking, suggest three meals and say whether you’d prefer typing or talking. Include an existing food photo if you have one. Please don’t cook a new meal just to apply—the trial is paid.
