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

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

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

“Administrativa” like:—

Why are so many Communist Chinese on Quora despite it being illegal for Chinese citizens to use Quora?

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 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…

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

What are the best examples of reverse psychology?

It’s that straightforward.

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.

Democrat voters, why are you so naive, easy to manipulate, can't see a liar standing right in front of you and why won't you research your party? You will find they have a plan for all W. Nations and it's evil.

The 3rd placeholder post

How do so-called Religious/Christian people really think homosexuality is even a sin? That would be nonsense. In fact, LGBT people need love instead of contempt/hatred. The word Homosexual didn't appear until the 1850s.

The 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts

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

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

Why does my dog keep licking at her privates now? She is 7 years old and has barely started licking there. The vet said she’s fine but she keeps doing that.

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.

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.

UH-OH…

Isn't it unfortunate for the Democrats that we Republicans are the masters of the universe who control everything while the Democrats control nothing?

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

your general commenting policy

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.

Why do flat earthers exist?

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.

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

Do Americans realize how much goodwill and credibility they've lost in the past two weeks?

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

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

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

What CIA front organizations operated in the United States during the 1960s?

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

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.

Since the rise of feminism, the dating market has shifted to the disadvantage of men and that is causing this incel phenomenon. Why do women not understand how lonely the majority of men are?

Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.

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

Example:—

Why is Reddit blocked by the Indonesian government?

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

Your contact details (email at a minimum)

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

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 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.

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).

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

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.

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

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