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

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.

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

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

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

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.

I hope you didn’t delete them.

Hi, I’m Jo. My best friend died 2 years ago today. My husband died 6 months later. So, I’m a depressed mess (we were married 28 years) and can’t shake it. Even my Brother is worried. Some days I don’t do anything, and avoid men cause I don’t want to date. Any suggestions? Thanks for reading.

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

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

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.

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).

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…

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

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.

Beautiful European women were killed by inquisition but Russia was not Catholic. Is this the reason for a drastic difference explaining why Russian women are the prettiest?

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

It’s that straightforward.

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.

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

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

Facebook: xxx

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

YouTube: xxx

Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.

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