Chapter 502: Chapter 502: What She’s Saying Now Is Still Polite (2 chapters combined into one)

Christy Xenos couldn’t help but to ask first, “What’s a food blogger?”

“Someone who posts food videos online,” Wendy Clarke briefly explained, “You mean she posts videos on the Internet with tutorials on how to make certain dishes?”

“I’m quite busy, so I don’t have much time to care about these things,” Wendy added, showing her disdain for their kind of internet celebrities.

After the last competition, she did look up Cain Velman.

However, Wendy did not know where Cindy Clarke’s main platform was.

So she googled it.

Many pages popped up.

Many websites were re-posts.

Wendy searched Cain Velman’s Facebook and found it.

She watched a few food tutorial videos Wendy posted but didn’t see anything special.

They were all simple home cooking techniques, but she had quite a few followers.

However, she didn’t see any posts about Morgan Zhekova.

One reason was that the posts were quite old, and another reason was that the post about confronting Nelly Woods was deleted by Cindy Clarke.

Since the matter was resolved, there was no need to keep this information on Facebook.

That’s why Wendy hadn’t seen it.

“She’s a very famous food blogger, and even if you’re very busy with work, like you, ordinary internet users who may not be interested in food videos would have at least heard her name,” Zoe Silverstone said, as if not hearing Wendy’s contempt.

She pouted and said reluctantly, “Although I don’t want to admit it, she indeed has the most followers and the largest traffic among us bloggers.”

“Not only in the food industry, but also in other areas like beauty, fashion and travel bloggers, she would rank among the top ten in terms of followers and traffic,” she said.

“I’m saying this because you might not have an intuitive and concrete understanding since you don’t know much about this industry,” Zoe Silverstone said.

“For example, I am now suffering because she’s causing all my accounts on various platforms to be shut down. No matter how many new accounts I create, they are all closed. All the ads I had been promoting were canceled. There are no more brands looking for me to promote. I don’t have any income now,” she said.

“But at least I was a well-known blogger before and knew these things very well,” Zoe Silverstone said. “Cindy Clarke, as the number one blogger in our food circle and ranked among the top ten internet celebrity bloggers, how much money do you think she gets for promoting an ad?”

When Christy Xenos heard the word “money”, her whole body seemed to come alive.

She even paused, holding her rice and chopsticks, without any movement in her right hand.

She leaned involuntarily towards Zoe Silverstone and asked eagerly, “How much money?”

Zoe Silverstone spread her fingers open.

Christy raised her eyebrows, “50,000?”

Not that she wanted to say it, but 50,000 didn’t seem like a lot to her.

She originally wanted to say 5,000, but she thought Zoe Silverstone wouldn’t say such a small amount.

However, even 50,000 was not a small amount.

Fifty thousand for one ad – that’s just too easy to make money.

Christy thought that even with 50,000, she shouldn’t miss out.

Zoe Silverstone rolled her eyes internally and thought Christy was too naive, but she just chuckled and said, “No, it’s 500,000!”

“What?” Christy Xenos exclaimed.

Even Joshua Clarke, who was holding his chopsticks, dropped them with a “clang” on the table.

“Five hundred thousand?!” Joshua shouted in disbelief.

Cindy Clarke was making so much money in Belfard City!

“What do you mean? How does she make 500,000?” Christy asked quickly.

She was really clueless about these things.

Zoe Silverstone then explained, “For example, a brand wants to promote their latest model of oven, they will send it directly to Cindy Clarke, and they will also give her 500,000 as an advertising fee, as long as she advertises it in her video.”

“It’s not that she has to specifically talk about how good the oven is. Just a regular food cooking tutorial, but using the oven to do it. She demonstrates how to use the oven during the process and highlights any unique features the oven might have compared to other models.”

“There are also kitchen range hoods, steam ovens, various small appliances, and so on,” Zoe Silverstone saw Christy Xenos’ love to take advantage of others and said, “That is to say, not only can Cindy Clarke get the advertising fee, she can also get those products for free. All the things in her house, she doesn’t have to buy them. They are all gifted by the brand as long as they appear in her video.”

“Take the ovens, for example – they are new models, costing thousands or even tens of thousands. She gets those for free,” Zoe Silverstone said.

“Oh my God, she’s really that powerful now? Just one ad, one video, and she gets 500,000? Plus the products she gets for free!” Christy was astonished.

“So if she shoots one a day, with 30 days in a month, wouldn’t she have an income of 15 million?” Christy calculated by counting her fingers.

Of course, it wouldn’t be calculated as Christy thought.

How could there be ads every day to receive?

If it were to be calculated this way, it could be calculated by the hour or even by the minute.

But Zoe Silverstone didn’t correct her.

In any case, the more money Cindy Clarke has, the better it is for them, and the more trouble she will have.

However, Cindy Clarke would actually be richer than Christy thought.

Not only from her income as a food blogger.

With Cindy Clarke being together with Adrian Zhekova, money couldn’t even be measured in numbers.

There were countless benefits.

What she was saying now was just being polite.

“That’s just the exclusive advertising,” said Zoe Silverstone. “It’s for promoting a specific product for a specific brand, taking a video’s duration to promote it. There are also many small product collections.”

“For example, high-speed blenders, food processors, egg beaters, and other small appliances, or even speakers, headphones, home appliance control systems, seasonings and so on – anything you can think of. Many small items and using one episode to promote would be a bit wasteful, so they simply put several products in one episode.”

“This promotion isn’t exclusive, so the price is lower. Many brand owners will choose this method. The prices won’t be the same. But for someone at Cindy Clarke’s level, the price would be upwards of 200,000, as long as it appears in the video.”

“For promotions like this, she takes on several in one video and earns even more than the exclusive promotions,” Zoe Silverstone said.

“Boom!”

Wendy Clarke couldn’t help but slap her bowl and chopsticks on the table, her face darkening.

She thought Cindy Clarke went to Belfard to struggle for success.

Even if she looked glamorous on TV, in reality, just like many other people in Belfard, she thought that she must have her own struggles and hardships.

She and Christy Xenos did tell Joshua Clarke that Cindy Clarke wasn’t suffering and was having a good life.
