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

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

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

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).

Have you ever been a victim of gaslighting? What happened?

I’m worried I have a bat bite on my hand, I have two small marks about 1 cm apart. I haven’t been in contact with a bat but I’m worried about at night. My fingers have a slight tingling sensation and my arm feels cold but isn’t. Am I ok?

How is it, in the USA, a country with 334 million people, the choice of President comes down to two aged men, one of whom is a liar as well as a criminal, one who appears to be on his way to dementia. Surely a democratic country can put up better?

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.

Were the 1980s as uptight and prudish as movies and TV shows make them out to be? When I think of 80s culture, I think about a very "icky" judgmental yuppie status quo time period.

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

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

Does a narcissist ever get their comeuppance/karma for the vile things they've done? Such as cheating, smear campaign, etc.

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

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.

Addressing your question more directly:—

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.

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

UH-OH…

What are some examples of the use of the word “piacere” in Italian? What do they mean and how would you translate them into English?

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

The 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts

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

The Roman Empire at the time of Christ kept meticulous records. Why then, is there no record of the trial of Jesus?

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

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

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

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

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

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

It’s that straightforward.

Your contact details (email at a minimum)

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.

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.

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

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.

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…

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.

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.
