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.

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

the blog’s launch date and time

How do you handle your mother-in-law after you heard her talking badly about you in the next room?

It’s that straightforward.

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.

Why are US customs agents so talkative? I cringed hard when a US customs agent asked me if I was on vacation. He doesn’t need to know why I went to another country as long as I am a U.S. citizen.

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

THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST

UH-OH…

Why do some young mothers trick a guy into believing that they're pregnant and it's their child when years later they find out that it's not even theirs should he still pay child support or not?

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

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

Why is there a "double standard" applied to sex between a dog and a human? Why is it that to many who are at least mildly okay with bestiality, a WOMAN having sex with a male dog is fine, but a guy with a female dog is not?

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.

Who is the beast of Revelation 13?

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

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.

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

How do I get off Paxil?

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

Does the interpretation of the Book of בראשית create in all generations the Chosen Cohen People יש מאין?

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.

Do Republicans give permission to Democrats to vote for any candidate except for Kamala Harris?

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.

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

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

Have you had any paranormal activity situations happen personally to you or someone you know?

You can contact me below (for blog and off-blog matters) or use the Contact Form (click here).

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.

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.

What are some signs that someone may be being stalked by an organization or secret society? How can they find out for sure?

the blog’s main language

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).

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

How do people in your country say "you're welcome" in their native language(s)? Is it a commonly known phrase or do most people just reply with "no problem"?

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.

Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.

Have you been with a stranger yet?

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

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.

your general commenting policy

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

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

I hope you didn’t delete them.

Open it for editing. Fill it with your own text 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)

(All images via my blog)

Example:—

Your contact details (email at a minimum)

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

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

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

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.
