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

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.

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

Your contact details (email at a minimum)

Do Flat Earthers exist today? If so, where do they live?

the blog’s launch date and time

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

The 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts

What is your review of the Redmi 9A? Is it worth buying?

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.

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.

Why aren't U.S. prisons more like Marine Corps boot camp, were every second of the day there are mandatory activities so that at night everyone is so tired they go to sleep until wakeup at 5:30 am? Would this make prisons safer for all?

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

How do Greeks identify themselves in terms of civilization? Do they feel more connected to Western or Middle Eastern civilization and why?

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

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

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

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

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

Why do people hate fat people so much, even people who aren't exactly supermodels themselves? It seems like such a deep, passionate hatred, like they're offended by fat people just existing. Fat people didn't do anything to them, so why hate them?

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

The 3rd placeholder post

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.

☆ what's the thing that made u fell in love with your bias?

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).

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

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.

Do you think it is likely that Maegor was presented a young dragon at some point, almost to the point of full-bonding, only to scorn it for Balerion in the end? If so, which one could it have been?

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

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

Why do gun lovers think their right to own a weapon supercedes everyone else's right to be safe and not be shot?

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

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:—

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.

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.

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

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

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.

It’s that straightforward.

Open them and fill 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.
