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

UH-OH…

THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST

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

Why is Tiananmen Square censored?

The 3rd placeholder post

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

What can help me fall asleep at night?

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.

Addressing your question more directly:—

Your contact details (email at a minimum)

Should India conduct another air strike to attack Pakistan over the Pahalgam attack?

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

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.

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

My girlfriend told me that she wants to move in with me. I have my own apartment and I like my peace and quiet, but I also love her. We've been together for a year now. What should I do?

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.

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

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…

So I’m getting piano lessons and my teacher wants me to get an upright piano instead of a keyboard. An upright piano is way above my price range, so what do I do? And what’s the difference between an upright piano and a keyboard?

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).

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

Why do Puerto Ricans come to this country flying their flags over in the United States all over their cars? They're so proud of their country. Why are they here?

Example:—

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.

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.

Is Daenerys Targaryen really the most beautiful woman, or is everyone saying that just to flatter her?

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

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

Can you turn 150 pages into a 5 minute presentation before a meeting?

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.

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.

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

How long can someone with narcissistic tendencies maintain a facade of fake love before their true self is revealed? Is there a specific trigger or amount of time that causes them to reveal their true nature?

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

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

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.

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

Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.

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