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

the blog’s launch date and time

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 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.

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.

the blog’s main language

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

Has anyone tried bestiality and been caught?

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.

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

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.

It’s that straightforward.

I hope you didn’t delete them.

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

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

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

The 3rd placeholder post

Example:—

Hamas uses 100,000 human shields and no one cares. Israel straps one wounded terrorist to a Jeep to transport him to medical facilities and the world cries. What gives?

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.

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

This blog updates every Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST (midnight UTC, Wednesday).

THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST

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

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

What does it mean for a model to be a "non-chain-of-thought" model?

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.

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

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 succeed, you succeed. If you fail, you fail. It doesn’t matter either way because you still have to do some elementary things.

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.

The 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts

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

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.
