1. Tell us about your background and journey.

I am Mohit navlani born and bought up in Kota Rajasthan. I'm pursuing a bachelor's in hotel management from the Institute of hotel management and culinary studies, JAIPUR (IHMCS). After completing senior secondary I decided my course and searching for a good college so that I can learn more and achieve my goals. Then I joined ihmcs in 2018 and shifted to Jaipur & start working on myself and now I'm a student and running a food page and I'm really enjoying it.



2. When did you first decide that you wanted to create content and how did you start?

It was 15 march 2020 I started my food page named fooody_quest and started following some good pages which have creative content and explored them. I start posting whatever I had eaten in different restaurants, cafes and what I cook. Gradually I learnt how to click good pictures how to decorate and plate what I made. Then I get many responses from the bloggers about my content and that's how it's going. I have tried many new dishes in quarantine and it came out soo good and I got appreciation from my relatives, friend, family.



3. Is vlogging and Instagram content creation a financially sustainable career? 

If your content is amazing and you keep efforts on your blogs then yes you may earn from Instagram and blogging. You can do blogging for extra income.



4. Who is your favourite creator and why? 

There are many creators in food blogging and also a very tough competition but I love the content of food_oo_graphy. She clicks amazing pics and her feed is awesome. She has knowledge of photography and plating.



5. How and where do you find inspiration to churn out content?

I'm always thinking to be creative and interested in something innovative. As I love to cook and belongs to this field I used to try new dishes and post them on my what's app and Instagram personal account and getting appreciation from many. At first, my friends suggest me to start food blogging as I'm a foodie and love to cook so they believe in me and I also found it interesting and creative decided to start my page named @fooody_quest.



6. What does your typical day look like?

I usually woke up at 8 am and doing all the morning works freshen up having a cup of tea. In college days I leave for college at 9 am. I prepared my own food at my flat. Now in lockdown days, I thinking of what to make new how to create good content, how to plate it. And Complete my college work if any and cook my dinner at night and back to sleep around 12 midnight to 1 am.


7. Which is your favourite book and why?

I'm not a book reader so not read any books but I love to read and see mythological stories so I keep getting knowledge about them.



8. What piece of advice would you like to give to future and aspiring creators?

I would only like to say "believe in yourself". If you make efforts on your content and never get depressed by not getting followers and keep doing efforts one day you will get successful. I'm a new blogger and I achieved 1k followers in less time. If you believe in yourself no one could stop you to achieve your goals. Update your feed daily and keep exploring good bloggers and do engage with other bloggers.
