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

I committed the unpardonable sin. God immediately punished me so that I can no longer think like before and my brain is as if paralyzed and does not work. I've tried everything (confession, repentance, etc.) nothing helps. Any advice?

THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST

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.

How come Jesus died on Friday and rose on Sunday? That's not 3 days and three nights.

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

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.

It’s that straightforward.

I am still studying engineering. I feel worried being an average student. Can I get a good job in placement, buy a house, and a car? I don't know why I feel this.

How do people break a narcissist man's ego?

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

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

I hope you didn’t delete them.

Do narcissists love their children?

The 3rd placeholder post

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

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.

Jenny from Perth writes – my partner is the life of the party, women and men adore him. But at home, he gets angry at us for the silliest reasons and never nice words me or our kids, always putting us down. Should I stay or leave him?

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…

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

I am 13 and I am planning to run away. What should I do to succeed?

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.

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.

What are your thoughts on the dating app "scam"?

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

the blog’s main language

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.

Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.

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.

You can contact me below (for blog and off-blog matters) or use the Contact Form (click here).

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.

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

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 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts

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).

Example:—

Facebook: xxx

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