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

Addressing your question more directly:—
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
“What if I’ve already deleted those placeholder posts? What if I’ve posted a few posts already?”

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

the blog’s main language
how frequent the blog is updated (i.e. what is your posting day — every Tuesday at 8 p.m. is a good starting point)
On the balance of all practical probabilities, it’s easier (and cheaper) to write your own stuff.

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).
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).
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.

English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).

Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.
Example:—
Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.
Would you raise your children like your parents raised 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.
There’s no point in backtracking. Don’t bother to re-create those placeholder posts.

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 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST
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.
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…
the blog’s launch date and time
It’s that straightforward.
(All images via my blog)
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.
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 succeed, you succeed. If you fail, you fail. It doesn’t matter either way because you still have to do some elementary things.

Just carry on from where you are. Stay on target, Luke.
