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

“Administrativa” like:—

THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST

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

Shelved Europa Lander mission concept could be used to explore Enceladus instead - Phys.org

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

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

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

650-foot mega-tsunami sends seismic waves around world and satellites captured the action - Earth.com

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

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

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

The 3rd placeholder post

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.

Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.

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.

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

New Hope on Autoimmune Diseases: Sunlight - Newser

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

The 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts

From 1 to 10, how dark is the Naruto fandom? Why?

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.

Even news agencies like AP, Reuters, AFP, etc (with hundreds of reporters each worldwide) have their own overall ‘corporate’ and ‘news’ persona or 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.

This blog was born on Wednesday, September 18, 2024, at 7:21 p.m. EST (23:21 UTC).

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