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

your general commenting policy

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

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…

How do I confess to my crush who had a traumatic past with his previous partner without losing the friendship?

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.

Addressing your question more directly:—

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.

Why is it that when the Democrats absolutely love everyone to be LGBTP, they don't even acknowledge that Barack Obama and his husband Big Mike are homosexual, and he is the first homosexual president of the USA?

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.

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

The 3rd placeholder post

Why are so many US conservatives in this day and age still against racial mixing? They won't say it in public, but they are still against the mixing between Blacks and whites? Why?

It’s that straightforward.

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

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 do you think of casting Emma Watson as the next James Bond?

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

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

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

Do countries with free health care generally have co-pays or deductibles to discourage use?

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

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

Example:—

Why did Britain steal Gibraltar from Spain?

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

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

Which document should be pointed out to a holocaust denier?

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

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 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 are your thoughts on Italian nationalist poet Gabriele D'Annunzio, who was the subject of the documentary "Fiume o morte!"?

Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.

I hope you didn’t delete them.

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.

Why do so many men on the internet try to compete with women, or try to "humble" and bash them? There's so many videos across my tiktok and YouTube of men claiming how they're wanting to get back at women and put them in thier place.

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.

Who are some good social skills therapists in Pompano Beach, Florida?

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.

What are some reasons why men may not want to date a woman who can pay her own bills?

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).

THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST

How are you spending your best time?

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

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

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

What are some examples of the use of the word “piacere” in Italian? What do they mean and how would you translate them into English?

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

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

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 can expect to pay up to US$7 a word with experienced writers or bloggers (with 10+ years’ experience) — same as magazine writing rates.

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

“Administrativa” like:—

the blog’s main language

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

The 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts

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…
