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

Your blog’s editorial window (“niche,” although that’s the wrong word) — what your blog is generally about or tends to focus on

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

UH-OH…

Why is Matt Gaetz being investigated but not Sarah (Tim) McBride? Why do we only care about grooming when it's the Republicans doing it?

the blog’s main language

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

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.

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

Why does it smell so bad? I noticed that when I move around my vagina has a stench. It’s usually a wet liquid, almost like pee. There’re little to no discharge and it doesn’t hurt or itch.

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.

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

The 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts

How did Neo defeat the architect at the end of The Matrix: Reloaded? Was it solely due to his belief in himself or were there other factors at play?

Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.

Who you are — you don’t have to disclose your identity, but there must be a person even with a pseudonym (not anonymous) for attracting readers and subscribers

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

Is it okay or problematic to be both Black and gay in society in the 21st century?

“Administrativa” like:—

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).

THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST

Why are girls supposed to have a stereotypical "hourglass" body shape, and why if you dont have an "hourglass" body shape you get treated differently? It doesnt make any sense to me.

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

Example:—

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

Why is pure dopamine not a recreational drug? And if it was wouldn’t it be the most addictive and fairly side effect free?

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

What is the reason for the high number of stray dogs in Thailand? What measures are being taken to address this issue?

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

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

The About page will always be your blog’s most-viewed item and click magnet.

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

Every day, around 7 million blog posts are published on the Internet. You’re fighting for attention and breathing space even with a voice.

It’s that straightforward.

Why does Christianity push reconciliation after a partner cheats? Mine had a 7-year affair with someone half my age. He cheated and lied. He is not the same to me.

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.

how frequent the blog is updated (i.e. what is your posting day — every Tuesday at 8 p.m. is a good starting point)

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.

the blog’s launch date and time

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

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.

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

I hope you didn’t delete them.

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

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.

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.

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…

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.

The 3rd placeholder post

Email: xxx

English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).

Addressing your question more directly:—

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.

Twitter (now X ‘ecks’): xxx

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

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

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.
