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

UH-OH…

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

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

If you get a chance to have sex with either Kajal Agarwal or Samantha, who would you choose and why?

the blog’s launch date and time

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

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

Why is the concept of pumping water uphill not commonly used as a source of electricity generation, similar to pumped-hydro systems?

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

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.

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

The 3rd placeholder post

What Your Sweat Could Reveal About Your Health - CNN

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

It’s that straightforward.

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.

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

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

Why is it common for guys to sleep with 10-20 women then marry a good girl?

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…

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

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.

THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST

How do I know if I am a bitch? I try to be a nice person but people often jokingly call me a bitch. My family calls me a bitch sometimes too.

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

the blog’s main language

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

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.

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

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

Addressing your question more directly:—

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.

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

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.
