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

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

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

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 did a computer scientist such as Geoffrey Hinton manage to win a Nobel Prize in physics when computer science already has its own Nobel Prize equivalent in the Turing Awards?

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.

Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.

Common Diabetes Drug Linked to 'Exceptional Longevity' in Women - ScienceAlert

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…

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

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.

Report: Knicks have interest in Wolves' Chris Finch as new head coach - Sports Illustrated

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 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.

The 3rd placeholder post

It’s that straightforward.

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

Is it true that most people in Québec are bilingual in French and English? If so, why do they often identify as monolingual?

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

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

the blog’s launch date and time

Is it okay or problematic to be both Black and gay in society in the 21st century?

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.

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.

Why cant I feel anything in my sleep? I cannot even feel myself moving, breathing, and swallowing saliva! I cannot even hear anything, not even my alarm! Some people that I've been with says that I'm moving a lot in my sleep, how can I stop it?

The 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts

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.

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.

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

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

“Administrativa” like:—

the blog’s main language

Example:—

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

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

Addressing your question more directly:—

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

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

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

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