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

Your contact details (email at a minimum)

the blog’s launch date and time

I hope you didn’t delete them.

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.

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

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

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

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

It’s that straightforward.

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.

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

This is your first actual post — the first piece of ‘meat’ for your blog. Open it and fill it with pre-prepared copy.

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.

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 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.

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