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

It’s that straightforward.

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

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

THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST

First-round pairings for NASCAR Cup In-Season Challenge are set - NBC Sports

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

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

Example:—

Connor Zilisch and crew chief Dale Earnhardt Jr. win Pocono NASCAR Xfinity race - Motorsport.com

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

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 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).

Laborum vero molestiae dolorem tenetur doloribus delectus.

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.

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 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.

Grandfather's simple changes reversed pre-diabetes diagnosis that left him 'petrified' - AOL.com

The 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts

Are judges being lenient on hard criminals?

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

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.

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

AI-Focused Apple Music Reboot Said to Be in the Works - MacRumors

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.

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

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

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.

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…

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

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.

the blog’s launch date and time

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