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

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

Why am I so wanting to suck a penis?

“Administrativa” like:—

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

Why cant I add weight to my lifts even though im completing my sets? Every time I try to add more weight I cant even complete one rep.

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

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

Example:—

Why is the band Nickelback unliked so much?

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

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

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

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.

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

What are the major security challenges facing India, both domestically and internationally, and how does the government address them?

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

The 3rd placeholder post

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

What was your worst experience while living with roommates?

It’s that straightforward.

Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.

the blog’s launch date and time

How does an experienced gay/bi guy handle a bi-courius guy on his first time?

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.

What are some possible reasons for an unfaithful spouse to not confess their affair to their partner and instead end it without telling them?

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.

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.

your general commenting policy

Why do people mourn when their leaders lose elections? Is it common for people to cry over events that are out of their control?

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

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

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.

Why do some straight men like to suck dick but don't find other males attractive?

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

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.

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

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

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

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 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST

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.

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

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.

UH-OH…

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

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).

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

The 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts

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

the blog’s main language

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

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.

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.
