Love to explore new places & foods. So I thought to create a page on Facebook & started exploring new places. But it wasn't easy. I have to travel by bus & it takes almost 2 - 5 hours to travel from one place to another.
At first, when I started my page, my post doesn't get a good response. But I never felt sad about that. This time my friends & my family support me a lot.
Tell us about your background and journey.
I live in Howrah, West Bengal. So, I started my food blogging in July 2019. Basically, I'm an out and out foodie & also love to explore new restaurants. In February 2020 one of my posts got viral & from then till now many of my restaurant's reviews got viral & people love my content so much.
It means a lot to me. I never thought this could happen. Now I've 33K followers on my Facebook page Hangla's Day Out.
1) Try to create unique content for your followers/ viewers. Because people always love to see unique & new things.

Is vlogging and digital content creation a financially sustainable career?
I thought so. But you have to have more patience, more dedication & face difficulties to continue this as your career. Though food blogging is just a passion for me right now. But sometimes I collaborate with restaurants, brands. So maybe in future, I'll choose this as my career.

How and where do you find inspiration to churn out content?
From the day I started my journey as a food blogger I didn't have any idea about food blogging. So, I just started to share my experience in my mothertounge Bengali language & it works like magic.

I always try to share each & every detail of any restaurant, so that people don't have any questions after reading my content. Then I decide to write most of the content in Bengali & try to give more details about the food & restaurants.
What piece of advice would you like to give to future and aspiring digital creators?
Many people think food blogging is a very easy job just like "Eat - Sleep & Repeat". But no it's not. There's need a lot of hard work, unique content creation, suitable photography, time management, entertain followers & many more things to do to be a good blogger. So for me if you want to be a good food blogger you have to maintain quiet steps.

2) Try to post every day on social media (on which platform your work).
3) Maintain a time schedule to post your content every day & the last but more important point is to ignore negativity, be positive, work hard & try to be more creative.
Which is your favourite book and why?
I'm a pure bookaholic. There are more than 100 books on my favourite list. So I can't choose one. But I mostly like Science fiction because I always got positive vibes from it.
