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

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

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

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

Can you explain the concept of an annulment of marriage in the Roman Catholic Church and its effects on a previous marriage?

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

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

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 is the recommended approach for creating a film or TV script? Should the script be written first or should the story be developed first? Why?

It’s that straightforward.

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

Example:—

What would Spanish sound like if only latin and Greek words were used, like some romance analogy to anglish?

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.

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 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.

What is the Abu Shusha massacre in Palestine?

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

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.

What would happen if the Earth stopped spinning for one minute?

Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.

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

Why are people so rude to debt collector’s? I am one and I am so tired of being mistreated. We are under paid and then have to deal with the most ungrateful, and disrespectful people. We aren’t customer service. Don’t get mad at us because YOU owe.

Your contact details (email at a minimum)

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.

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.

Homophobia is clearly a harmful mental sickness. What can LGBT people do to cure it?

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

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

What contributed to the popularity of The Beatles' song 'Yesterday'? Was it due to its simplicity, lyrics, or other factors?

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

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

Don't you think Democrats are so full of it stool softener and an enema couldn't help them?

your general commenting policy

I hope you didn’t delete them.

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

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

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.

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

the blog’s main language

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

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.

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

UH-OH…

The 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts

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).

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Addressing your question more directly:—

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

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
