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

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

The About page will always be your blog’s most-viewed item and click magnet.

Twitter (now X ‘ecks’): xxx

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.

Have you been arrested or investigated?

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.

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

THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST

What is your favourite true story to tell at a party?

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

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.

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.

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…

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

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.

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.
