This is your first actual post — the first piece of ‘meat’ for your blog. Open it and fill it with pre-prepared copy.
What are the pros and cons of living in Male, Maldives?
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 About page will always be your blog’s most-viewed item and click magnet.
English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).
The 3rd placeholder post
“What if I’ve already deleted those placeholder posts? What if I’ve posted a few posts already?”
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.
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.

Just carry on from where you are. Stay on target, Luke.
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 second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.
What are 5 ways that can be done by the community to improve the public transport system?
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.
Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.

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

I hope you didn’t delete them.
Why are so many young teenage boys misogynistic? Where do they get these attitudes from?
Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.
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 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 it for editing. Fill it with your own text on:—
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).

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