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

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

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

Do narcissists love their children?

UH-OH…

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.

What do you think about the NFA full auto band? Weapons built before 1986 can be transferred and registered? But we can't have an 87? But older weapons tend to be far more powerful. I think we should drop it. Input?

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

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…

I hope you didn’t delete them.

I've never read the book. What did Dorian Grey do that was so immoral and sinful?

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).

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

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.

Islam is definitely a very anti-LGBTQ religion, so why don't liberals ever stage pro-LGBTQ demonstrations at mosques or at the consulates/embassies of Muslim countries?

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

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.

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

What would happen if the Soviet Union had simply annexed Manchuria after World War 2 or kept it independent as a puppet state allied them and separate from China as China was too weak too oppose it anyway?

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

What does "feeling like your life is over" mean and why is it not in any dictionary online?

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

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

Why do American conservatives say that America is a constitutional republic and not a democracy? Would it not make sense to call America a constitutional republican democracy?

How do you say "I don't speak French yet, but I hope to speak it well one day. It would be a pleasure to learn French with you. Would you like to teach me French?" in French? Could you add audio?

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.

Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.

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

the blog’s main language

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 blog’s launch date and time

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

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

The 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts

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.

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

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

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

Addressing your question more directly:—

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.

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

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.

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.
