Just made a cooking blog, any suggestions on what to do next to earn? (Im a newbie)

I just created a cooking blog and added two adsense codes. My goal is to build a series of blogs over the next couple years and earn some adsense revenue but what I do not know is what to do next. After you make a blog, do you submit it to blog directories? Make Youtube videos? I have made good content with decent keywords. I have a lot of time on my hands and I do not mind putting hours of work into it. As long as it pays off in the end.

Please advise a newbie with good work ethic.
