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

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

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

Twitter (now X ‘ecks’): xxx

You found a love potion, and your friend tried to use it on an attractive popular girl, but he accidentally dropped it on the neighbors dog. Now the dog won't stop following him. How would you help him?

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.

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 can contact me below (for blog and off-blog matters) or use the Contact Form (click here).

What happens if someone fills up their car at the pump but leaves without paying? How is this situation typically handled?

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

I hope you didn’t delete them.

Is it legal for an employer to ask why you are taking time off from work?

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

your general commenting policy

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 it okay for a wife who comes home from a date to tell her husband what she did?

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

It’s that straightforward.

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

I’ve often wondered why fans aren’t deployed on GBBO during warm weather? I’ve seen too many desserts melt (and bakers too…). (I live in Pompano Beach and we try to use fans in lieu of AC as much as possible).

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

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

I'm looking for an answer from people who consider themselves "Gender Critical", or transphobic, or TERFs, and my question is this - Why would you refuse to use the pronouns someone wants? What does it cost you? Where's the harm?

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

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

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

Do happily married husbands cheat?

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

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.

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

The 3rd placeholder post

Why do a lot of women have a crush on my boyfriend when they know he is in a relationship with me? I am starting to feel insecure too. What should I do?

Addressing your question more directly:—

UH-OH…

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

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 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST

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.

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 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts

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

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.

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

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.

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…

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.

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.

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

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.
