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

UH-OH…

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.

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).

It’s that straightforward.

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.

What does it mean when someone tells you they love you and want you in their life, but doesn't want to commit?

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

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.

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

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.

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

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 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).

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

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