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

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.

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.

I hope you didn’t delete them.

How common is it for siblings to fight over their parents' inheritance money? What is the best way to handle this type of situation?

UH-OH…

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

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

If there exists a “New York of Australia”, is it Sydney or Melbourne?

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

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.

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.

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

What is the reason that Worcester, Massachusetts is not as well-known as Boston and Springfield, even though it is a large city with many neighborhoods?

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.

Why cant I feel anything in my sleep? I cannot even feel myself moving, breathing, and swallowing saliva! I cannot even hear anything, not even my alarm! Some people that I've been with says that I'm moving a lot in my sleep, how can I stop it?

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

It’s that straightforward.

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).

What are some good inspirational movies?

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

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

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

What is the reason for the high number of stray dogs in Thailand? What measures are being taken to address this issue?

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

THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST

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.

How would you advertise if you wanted to be a "tour guide" who can take you through the dark web while warning you what not to look at and not to click on?

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

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.

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

If you caught a shoplifter at your yard sale, how would you handle it?

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

The 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts

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

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

Undercover cops in New York are riding the subways with iPods on to entice robbery. Is that a form of entrapment? If not, why not?

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

the blog’s launch date and time

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

What are some of the differences between the Democratic and Republican parties? What policies does each party advocate for? What groups do these parties usually represent?

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

the blog’s main language

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…

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

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.

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 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.

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

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