My blog is new. I need 10 article posts for my blog. How much should I pay for it?
Last Updated: 26.06.2025 08:33
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.

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.

Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.
If you’ve just launched your blog, it should already have 3–6 empty placeholder posts autogenerated by the platform or system.

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

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.

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 blog updates every Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST (midnight UTC, Wednesday).
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.
Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.

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

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

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

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).
This is your first actual post — the first piece of ‘meat’ for your blog. Open it and fill it with pre-prepared copy.
The second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.
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
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.
UH-OH…

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…
