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.

“Administrativa” like:—

Why do many modern Hollywood films rely heavily on CGI and visual effects instead of actual sets? What is your opinion on this trend?

UH-OH…

Twitter (now X ‘ecks’): xxx

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

Do you think President-Elect Donald Trump won the presidency fair and square, or do you think the GOP resorted to blatant unlawful practices to tilt the election?

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

The 3rd placeholder post

Why do British people always write "xxx" after their names?

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

THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST

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

Have husbands and wives ever had a threesome with someone in real life? How did it happen?

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

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

I hope you didn’t delete them.

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?

The 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts

Example:—

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.

What is the reason for writing X^2 as XX instead of X*X?

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.

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

Why do some young mothers trick a guy into believing that they're pregnant and it's their child when years later they find out that it's not even theirs should he still pay child support or not?

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

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.

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

Why do Indian parents force their kids to do stuff?

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

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.

I took a video of my serve (60 FPS) and it took 0.4 seconds from my racket to the service line. How fast would you say my serve was?

Your contact details (email at a minimum)

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…

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.

🔥Why has Prime Narendra Modi become Extremely FRUSTRATED and Highly DEPRESSED because he has NOT been invited by Donald Trump to witness his Oath Ceremony for his INAUGURATION on 20th January as the next PRESIDENT of USA? Does the DESPERATE Narendra Modi FEAR that Donald Trump's actions may even LEAD to the FALL of the BJP-led MINORITY Government in India, as such actions have already caused GREAT PANIC in the NDA Coalition?

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

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

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

Why do some guys treat girls so badly?

Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.

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 see ugly guys dating gorgeous, "hot" women all the time. I, too, am not very attractive but I'm not doing well with the ladies. What's their secret?

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.

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

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.

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).

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

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

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

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

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.

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