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

Example:—
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)

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

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

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
Your blog’s editorial window (“niche,” although that’s the wrong word) — what your blog is generally about or tends to focus on
Open it for editing. Fill it with your own text on:—

There’s no point in backtracking. Don’t bother to re-create those placeholder posts.
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.
The About page will always be your blog’s most-viewed item and click magnet.
THE 1ST PLACEHOLDER POST: ‘Hello, world!’

It’s that straightforward.

English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).
Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.
Every day, around 7 million blog posts are published on the Internet. You’re fighting for attention and breathing space even with a voice.

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

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

Who your blog is aimed at, or who might be interested
On the balance of all practical probabilities, it’s easier (and cheaper) to write your own stuff.
Are you afraid of being alone?
The 3rd placeholder post
This is because you’re meant to fill them with pre-prepared copy (text and pictures).
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.

“What if I’ve already deleted those placeholder posts? What if I’ve posted a few posts already?”
This blog was born on Wednesday, September 18, 2024, at 7:21 p.m. EST (23:21 UTC).
You need to understand why you yourself should be doing the writing for your own blog — certainly for the first two years.

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

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.

UH-OH…
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.
