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

the blog’s main language
It’s that straightforward.

You can contact me below (for blog and off-blog matters) or use the Contact Form (click here).
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.
how frequent the blog is updated (i.e. what is your posting day — every Tuesday at 8 p.m. is a good starting point)
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.
On the balance of all practical probabilities, it’s easier (and cheaper) to write your own stuff.

your general commenting policy
Just carry on from where you are. Stay on target, Luke.

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.
Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.
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…

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).

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 3rd placeholder post
THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST

This blog was born on Wednesday, September 18, 2024, at 7:21 p.m. EST (23:21 UTC).
The second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.
The 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts
You need to understand why you yourself should be doing the writing for your own blog — certainly for the first two years.

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

Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.
the blog’s launch date and time
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.
There’s no point in backtracking. Don’t bother to re-create those placeholder posts.
UH-OH…
Your blog’s editorial window (“niche,” although that’s the wrong word) — what your blog is generally about or tends to focus on
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.
Even news agencies like AP, Reuters, AFP, etc (with hundreds of reporters each worldwide) have their own overall ‘corporate’ and ‘news’ persona or voice.
Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.
This blog updates every Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST (midnight UTC, Wednesday).
English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).
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.
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 1ST PLACEHOLDER POST: ‘Hello, world!’

If you’ve just launched your blog, it should already have 3–6 empty placeholder posts autogenerated by the platform or system.
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.
Every day, around 7 million blog posts are published on the Internet. You’re fighting for attention and breathing space even with a voice.
