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

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

how frequent the blog is updated (i.e. what is your posting day — every Tuesday at 8 p.m. is a good starting point)

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

Have you ever had a weird experience immediately following the death of a loved one that made you think there is an afterlife and that the deceased person was communicating with you?

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.

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.

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…

What would happen if the US government told the British government in no uncertain terms all RAF bases with USAF personnel now must follow the Constitution and us law, and if the UK tried to defy this, the US military would directly attack the UK?

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

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.

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.

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.

How do I write a character’s physical description without it feeling unnatural and clunky? I’m able to describe their hair and body relatively easily because my writing puts emphasis on small movements and fidgeting, but I can’t describe faces.

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.

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

How can the citizens of Russia accept the enormous difference between people? The richest 500 Russians own more than the poorest 99.8% of the entire Russian population combined. Why don't we see any protests?

It’s that straightforward.

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

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

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

Can you share a lesson that you learned later in life and how it has impacted your current lifestyle, mentality, or attitude?

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

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

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

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

your general commenting policy

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.

Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.

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

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

The 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts

I hope you didn’t delete them.

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

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.

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.

“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.

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).

THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST

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

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