My blog is new. I need 10 article posts for my blog. How much should I pay for it?

The biggest mistake any blogger could make is producing a blog that has no voice — no persona, no personality, no flavour and no perspective behind the words.

There’s no point in backtracking. Don’t bother to re-create those placeholder posts.

The first placeholder post is typically headlined “Hello, world!” with no content. Leave it alone. This is your blog’s birth certificate. It helps the search engines to ‘notice’ the launch of your blog.

Why are flat Earthers made fun of when they seemingly don't exist? I have only met one flat Earther in 18 years.

I welcome submissions of recipes, stories and photos. Please discuss with me. I am prepared to pay US$1 per word for unique, eye-catching pieces.

Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.

I hope you didn’t delete them.

I am 13 and I am planning to run away. What should I do to succeed?

This is because you’re meant to fill them with pre-prepared copy (text and pictures).

Comments close on all posts after 28 days. Comments should be in English as far as possible, although all languages are welcomed. Comments once posted cannot be retracted or removed, so please comment at your own risk.

Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.

“What if I’ve already deleted those placeholder posts? What if I’ve posted a few posts already?”

You need to understand why you yourself should be doing the writing for your own blog — certainly for the first two years.

It’s that straightforward.

The 3rd placeholder post

After 12 Years of Failed Attempts, the Man Who Lost His Hard Drive Containing $742M in Bitcoin Finally Ends His Search - The Daily Galaxy

If you’ve just launched your blog, it should already have 3–6 empty placeholder posts autogenerated by the platform or system.

This is your first actual post — the first piece of ‘meat’ for your blog. Open it and fill it with pre-prepared copy.

Just carry on from where you are. Stay on target, Luke.

Why do ugly men flirt with girls that are really hot?

If you succeed, you succeed. If you fail, you fail. It doesn’t matter either way because you still have to do some elementary things.

Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.

Even news agencies like AP, Reuters, AFP, etc (with hundreds of reporters each worldwide) have their own overall ‘corporate’ and ‘news’ persona or voice.

Why are there posts saying the T in LGBT should be dropped? With what is happening in the US and beyond against the trans community cause for concern that if this is accepted could it be deemed acceptable to start on the LGB community again?

Who your blog is aimed at, or who might be interested

This blog updates every Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST (midnight UTC, Wednesday).

Example:—

Should any books be banned from school libraries? Why is it important for students to read certain books in school?

Open it for editing. Fill it with your own text on:—

If you’re running a hobby-horse blog, you generally don’t pay because then you’d be inviting people to guest-post out of interest.

Your writing doesn’t have to be perfect for a blog. It only needs to be reasonably readable — and reasonably formatted (which you still have to do anyway even for a piece written by someone else).

Once you’ve done the above, copy and paste the above into a new static page (“About”), edit it here and there, and publish. Add a link into your blog menu for the About.

Never mind what the Internet is telling you. The starting rate is US$1 per word for a 300–500-word piece (with minimum 3 photos) that’s unique and exclusive to your blog — with a 30%–50% kill rate for submitted but cancelled acceptance.

The 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts

You can expect to pay up to US$7 a word with experienced writers or bloggers (with 10+ years’ experience) — same as magazine writing rates.

On the balance of all practical probabilities, it’s easier (and cheaper) to write your own stuff.

I am the author and owner of Ramen Freak. I work in Windows and Linux mobile computing for a boring, colorless, publicly listed corporation in East Coast USA. I live with Janet (my wife since 1985) and two whimsical cats the size of battle tanks in the lush concrete suburbs of Anytown, Anystate. My wife isn’t ‘big’ on noodles though. Oh well…

THE 1ST PLACEHOLDER POST: ‘Hello, world!’

the blog’s launch date and time

This blog was born on Wednesday, September 18, 2024, at 7:21 p.m. EST (23:21 UTC).

The second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.

The Ramen Freak is about all things ramen and noodles, Japanese or not. It focuses on traditional as well as “new wave” or “fusion” recipes and discusses protips for creating the “perfect” noodle dish for the noodle aficionado.
