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

The 4th, 5th and 6th 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.

Addressing your question more directly:—

Have you ever lied to your family? What were the circumstances?

I hope you didn’t delete them.

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

It’s that straightforward.

Why do narcissist move on so easily?

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

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

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.

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

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

The 3rd placeholder post

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).

How do I come out as queer to my best friend in a funny and stupid way?

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.

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.

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…

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

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

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.

the blog’s main language

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