Those are great extra ways to earn more money as a food vendor. Indeed you cannot just depend on one way when there are a ton of other opportunities out there. I love that you can tap into both online and offline opportunities alongside your food vending.

Another one that I would like to add is that you can also post your cooking videos on YouTube to get views, build a following and even start doing affiliate marketing for big programs that offer them. You will become a well known chef who can even be called for catering contracts mentioned above in this thread.

You could also have your own chef courses that you offer to those who are interested. You can become a great teacher who does both online and offline classes and people will pay you to learn catering. God knows you could even get a job in a big catering institution.

Firstly, If you're interested in making money as a food vendor, there are several things you can do to increase your chances of success.

Before you start selling food, you should research the local market to see what kinds of foods people are interested in and what other food vendors are already offering. This will help you identify gaps in the market that you can fill with your own unique offerings.

Once you've identified your target market, you can start developing a menu that meets their needs and preferences. Consider offering unique and innovative dishes that will set you apart from the competition.

The location of your food stall is crucial to your success. You want to choose a spot with high foot traffic and good visibility. Consider setting up near popular tourist attractions, in busy markets, or at outdoor events.

To ensure that your food is always fresh and tasty, you'll need to invest in high-quality cooking equipment. This may include a grill, a deep fryer, or a hot plate.

I'm a very big fan of food business. I believe it is a very lucrative way of earning money. Apart from these things you mentioned, i believe some additional ways one can earn as a food vendor are:

• Tutoring : It could be online or offline. A lot of food vendors earn a good amount of money by training students. Some food vendors offer 3months, 6months or even up to a year programmes depending on the interest of the individual and they are paid according to the duration of the programme.
• Promos and Discounts: Another good way to earn as a food vendor is by offering promos. Some food vendors see promos as a huge loss to the business but this is not true. Promos attract more customers to one's business and helps one sell out faster. It could be buy one get one free promos, buy one and get a free gift, or discounts on special occasions like Valentine, Christmas and so on.
