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

Your contact details (email at a minimum)

THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST

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

What's the most trivial thing that ever made you go to the doctor?

the blog’s launch date and time

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.

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.

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

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.

“Administrativa” like:—

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

I hope you didn’t delete them.

Why has my ex moved on so fast after years of being together with me?

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

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

Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.

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

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

The 3rd placeholder post

Why does the God of the Bible condemn homosexual acts?

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

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).

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

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.

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.

Example:—

How can fashion design be used to make a political statement in popular culture, and society?

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

the blog’s main language

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.

Why do flat Earthers run away like whipped dogs with their tails between their legs when asked simple questions that expose their delusions as fantasy?

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

your general commenting policy

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

It’s that straightforward.

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.

Addressing your question more directly:—

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.

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