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

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

“Administrativa” like:—

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.

Why is the trade war between the United States and the rest of the world keeping on escalating, with US goods facing brutal boycotts from the global economy? Isn’t this horrific for US companies whose earnings and stocks are already collapsing?

Does anybody believe in cultural appropriation?

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

It’s that straightforward.

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.

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.

Example:—

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

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

The 3rd placeholder post

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

If you get a chance to have sex with either Kajal Agarwal or Samantha, who would you choose and why?

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.

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

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

I told my 13-year-old daughter that she should never start a fight, but has my permission to end it. She got suspended for ending a fight that some other girl picked with her by hitting her then retreating. How do I handle the school’s response?

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).

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

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.

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…

I hope you didn’t delete them.

THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST

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

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