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

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

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

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

Why do wokes use words like "homophobes" when they don't know what that means? Do they realize that no one is afraid of them?

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

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 your blog is aimed at, or who might be interested

Delta Force selection is originally based on SAS selection, so why is there no brutal jungle phase for Delta Force? It seems like it's based only on the Brecon Beacons section.

The 3rd placeholder post

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

It’s that straightforward.

My stepdaughter’s mom tells her I’m not a real dance teacher, but my stepdaughter has seen me in action. Why does she still question my abilities?

THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST

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

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

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

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

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.

Why would a spouse cheat if the marriage is good?

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.

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

Why am I so tired of seeing homeless people all over the place?

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.

The 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts

What are some reasons why some men choose to live alone instead of getting married?

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 blog’s main language

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.

Can you imagine how nervous Kamala Harris must be knowing that in couple of hours she needs to face master debater Donald Trump?

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

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

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.

If people in the UK hate Trump so much, why does he own golf courses there?

It seems that I am cursed with bad luck. How do I break such a curse?

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

your general commenting policy

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

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

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

Example:—

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

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.

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

Your contact details (email at a minimum)

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

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 hope you didn’t delete them.

UH-OH…
