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

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

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.

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

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?

your general commenting policy

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.

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.

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).

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.

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…

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

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.

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.

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

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.
