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.

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

Can you share some of your favorite jokes that are not well-known but always make people laugh?

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

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

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

Is there a reason why many men give up on dating and relationships? Is the dating scene difficult for them?

THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST

Your contact details (email at a minimum)

What is the gayest experience you have seen in prison?

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).

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

The 3rd placeholder post

Why do people turn a blind eye to bad behaviour if someone is very good looking? Whereas if someone is ugly, they get harshly judged for everything?

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

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

Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.

I found out I have cancer—I have not told my family. We can’t afford the treatment anyway. Should I just say nothing and let nature take its course?

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

What's wrong with white women?

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.

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

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.

Why are girls supposed to have a stereotypical "hourglass" body shape, and why if you dont have an "hourglass" body shape you get treated differently? It doesnt make any sense to me.

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.

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

Why do you think Islam oppresses women when Christianity clearly does it more?

Why can’t Trump campaign on the real issues facing America rather than insulting the character of VP Harris? Does MAGA actually believe this tactic will work?

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).

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.

It’s that straightforward.
