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

I hope you didn’t delete them.

your general commenting policy

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

Why are liberals so bad at grasping alternative facts? For example, if something doesn’t happen the exact same way Trump described it, liberals dismiss it as false; while conservatives are able to fully understand the underlying principle.

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

THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST

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.

Is heroin really as good as people say it is?

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

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

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

It’s that straightforward.

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

Why does Africa have all mineral resources but she is suffering economically?

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

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.

UH-OH…

the blog’s launch date and time

I'm a 28-year-old guy who has never been in a relationship, nor can I seem to find someone who wants to be in one with me. Why do I feel like a freak?

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

The 3rd placeholder post

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.

What is the reason that Worcester, Massachusetts is not as well-known as Boston and Springfield, even though it is a large city with many neighborhoods?

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.

Why does my dog keep licking at her privates now? She is 7 years old and has barely started licking there. The vet said she’s fine but she keeps doing that.

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 blog’s main language

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

What shouldn't you Google?

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.

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

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

Which race of women are the hottest?

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

“Administrativa” like:—

Why does my narcissistic ex told me that he f*cked and sleep with other woman and then at the end says that it also happened because of me?

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.

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

Addressing your question more directly:—

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

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

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

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.

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).

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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