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

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

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.

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

Zionists keep saying Israel “bought” the Palestinian’s land when the ownership was less than 5% prior to 1948. If Israel did indeed purchase majority of Palestinian land, why did the zionist state pass laws to confiscate Palestinian property?

The 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts

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

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

Do you think the animation industry will make a breakthrough in creating new voice recordings of dead voice actors and celebrity actors through machine learning (AI)?

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).

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.

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

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

I hope you didn’t delete them.

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

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.

Creatine supports brain and muscle health during every stage of life - Earth.com

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.

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.

Why do people have trouble accepting the very true fact that "The Blue Marble" photo of Earth is a composite and therefore (just like every other subsequent "picture" of Earth NASA has ever shown us) not a real photo but computer generated?

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

How can one select funeral songs that truly celebrate the essence of a loved one’s life while providing comfort to attendees?

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

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.

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 3rd placeholder post

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.
