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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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).

Why is every human messed up in some way?

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…

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

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

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 do people hate fat people so much, even people who aren't exactly supermodels themselves? It seems like such a deep, passionate hatred, like they're offended by fat people just existing. Fat people didn't do anything to them, so why hate them?

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 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts

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

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

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

It’s that straightforward.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
