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

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

What is your craziest/worst Halloween story?

UH-OH…

It’s that straightforward.

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

Do you believe that the portrayal of smoking in films and music videos contributes to the glamorization of cigarettes in society?

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.

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.

What are "demonic attacks" and how can one tell when they're happening to them, or someone else? How would one go about dealing with it?

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

Why do women stubbornly refuse to let men lead, even though they are attracted to the man, and the man both loves and desires them? Why do they get angry and blame the man when he gets fed up and walks away, when it's entirely their own fault?

This blog was born on Wednesday, September 18, 2024, at 7:21 p.m. EST (23:21 UTC).

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

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

What is the best phrase that sums up Tim Burton's Netflix Wednesday series cast? What is your unedited opinion about it?

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

Example:—

Why are fewer English people going to their local pubs for a drink? Are they aware that many pubs are shutting down due to lack of customers?

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

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

Why do people immediately disregard subjects such as flat earth, without opening their minds/taking time to research?

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

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

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?

I hope you didn’t delete them.

Are the seasons in Ireland different from those in Scotland, England, and Wales? Or are they just milder versions of each other?

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

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

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

How do I overcome attachment issues?

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

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.

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

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.

How do empaths destroy narcissists?

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 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.

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.

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…

Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.

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.

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

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

the blog’s main language

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

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.

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).

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.

Your contact details (email at a minimum)

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

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.
