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

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

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.

The 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts

The 3rd placeholder post

your general commenting policy

What is the most sentimental item you inherited from someone dear to you and what does it mean to 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.

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

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 is the reason for The Acolyte (2024 series) having poor reception among Star Wars fans?

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

the blog’s launch date and time

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

Why is Reagan seen as the best president in the USA when he literally destroyed the American economy with trickle down system and was strongly against worker unions?

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

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

UH-OH…

How did the Thunder get this good? Three perfectly executed summers created a 2025 juggernaut - CBS Sports

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

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 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST

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

Example:—

Scientists identify a group of viruses just one mutation away from causing the next pandemic - Times of India

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

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 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…

We white women don't like white men. Do you have any issue with that?

It’s that straightforward.

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.

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

Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.

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

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.

I hope you didn’t delete them.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

the blog’s main language

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).

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

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

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

Addressing your question more directly:—

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.
