1. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself and your Blog?

I am Sonam Jain, a food artist running a blog named “The Magic Platter”. My journey in blogging started after I took a sabbatical from the corporate world to enjoy motherhood. My blog focuses on creating whimsical, colorful & healthy platters for kids in form of visual stories that entice young minds to explore & love home-cooked meals.

2. What did you do before Blogging? What inspired you to start blogging?

I was a marketing post-grad, working for MNC’s in BTL Marketing. My last stint was Radio City 91.1 FM before I started blogging full time. Initially, I just posted my food recipes on social media platforms. When I got positive responses, I knew people loved what I did, so I took blogging seriously.

3. As a blogger, what are the challenges you face? How did you overcome it?

There are three challenges I am facing:

1. Getting people to understand there is a segment called Food art and it is a different entity in itself. Don’t generalize it as a food blog.

2. Marketing Myself, as there are a plethora of bloggers and they know the tricks and trade of business

3. Being Consistent, as I am a mom and time flies just running around him

To overcome these, I am trying to follow a systematic method of showcasing my content from time to time, seeking help from approaching bloggers in case I have my doubts & moreover enjoying the journey with fellow moms.

4. What would you consider to be your biggest achievement in your journey so far as a Blogger?

it’s been not even 6 months and my blog was nominated by IFBA ( Indian Food Blogger’s Association 2021) for their Insta Awards under Food Styling Category.
Also, I have been featured with one of the largest mom communities in India – The First Moms Club. They were the first community to bring my talent to other moms.

5. Have you worked/collaborated with brands? If yes, name a few brands you worked with

6. What is your primary revenue stream on your blog?

Currently, I earn through my blog via Sponsored Posts, and with Brand Partnerships.

7. Top 3 Blogging tools that you would recommend to your readers?
