The 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts
What is the dirtiest thing you have witnessed your wife do?
This blog updates every Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST (midnight UTC, Wednesday).
If you’ve just launched your blog, it should already have 3–6 empty placeholder posts autogenerated by the platform or system.
“Administrativa” like:—
What's the most valuable lesson you've learned in life, and how has it impacted your journey so far?
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).
Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.
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.
What can I say to a scammer who thinks he loves me, but I don't want to be scammed?
Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.
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.
Addressing your question more directly:—
What sets porcini mushrooms apart from other types of mushrooms, such as button mushrooms?
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.
the blog’s main language

Why has Biden pulled ahead in battleground states and is now projected to win the 2024 presidency?
how frequent the blog is updated (i.e. what is your posting day — every Tuesday at 8 p.m. is a good starting point)
The second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.
“What if I’ve already deleted those placeholder posts? What if I’ve posted a few posts already?”
How do introverts celebrate their birthday?
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.
Your blog’s editorial window (“niche,” although that’s the wrong word) — what your blog is generally about or tends to focus on
THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST
Is love natural, or is it somehow created?

Is it true that most Indian men are gay and they just hide their feelings?
This is your first actual post — the first piece of ‘meat’ for your blog. Open it and fill it with pre-prepared copy.
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.

Comments close on all posts after 28 days. Comments should be in English as far as possible, although all languages are welcomed. Comments once posted cannot be retracted or removed, so please comment at your own risk.
Who your blog is aimed at, or who might be interested
You need to understand why you yourself should be doing the writing for your own blog — certainly for the first two years.
The About page will always be your blog’s most-viewed item and click magnet.
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).
Why do most people care so much about what others think? Are they afraid of society norms?
Example:—
Your contact details (email at a minimum)
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…
Why do I get spun and then want big fat cocks to suck?
I hope you didn’t delete them.
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.
Should we consider deporting democrats to Canada?
Facebook: xxx
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 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.
your general commenting policy
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 1ST PLACEHOLDER POST: ‘Hello, world!’
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.
This is because you’re meant to fill them with pre-prepared copy (text and pictures).

the blog’s launch date and time
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

There’s no point in backtracking. Don’t bother to re-create those placeholder posts.
You can contact me below (for blog and off-blog matters) or use the Contact Form (click here).
The 3rd placeholder post
Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.
It’s that straightforward.
Open it for editing. Fill it with your own text on:—
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.
