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

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

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

THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST

I hope you didn’t delete them.

Do Republicans realize that the power of the people is invested in 'representative government'? If so, why did they elect a pathological liar?

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 3rd placeholder post

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…

In my experience, British people are fat, ugly and arrogant. Why is it and can it be changed?

“Administrativa” like:—

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.

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

At what point does trespassing become self defense? What are the necessary conditions for this line to be crossed from trespassing to self defense?

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

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.

What is your language's pangram?

It’s that straightforward.

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

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

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.

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

When a dog smells another dog’s poo or wee, do they then remember that scent for when they smell it again, or even further know which dog they are smelling if they know the dog?

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.

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.

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

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

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).

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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