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.

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.

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).

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

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

Why is Elvis Presley so controversial? Why do so many people love him and others despise him?

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.

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.

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’re running a hobby-horse blog, you generally don’t pay because then you’d be inviting people to guest-post out of interest.

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 1ST PLACEHOLDER POST: ‘Hello, world!’

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…

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

UH-OH…
