UH-OH…
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.

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 3rd placeholder post
Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.

What are some common historical misconceptions?
On the balance of all practical probabilities, it’s easier (and cheaper) to write your own stuff.
English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).
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.

Every day, around 7 million blog posts are published on the Internet. You’re fighting for attention and breathing space even with a voice.
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 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts
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.
Just carry on from where you are. Stay on target, Luke.
What was the worst spanking you ever got? Why did you get it, and how was it given to you?
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 second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.
Why am I always so tired and I don't eat enough?

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).

If you’ve just launched your blog, it should already have 3–6 empty placeholder posts autogenerated by the platform or system.
Even news agencies like AP, Reuters, AFP, etc (with hundreds of reporters each worldwide) have their own overall ‘corporate’ and ‘news’ persona or voice.

What is the best way to keep my vagina clean and fresh?
“What if I’ve already deleted those placeholder posts? What if I’ve posted a few posts already?”
There’s no point in backtracking. Don’t bother to re-create those placeholder posts.
This is your first actual post — the first piece of ‘meat’ for your blog. Open it and fill it 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:—
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.
I hope you didn’t delete them.
Who your blog is aimed at, or who might be interested
the blog’s launch date and time
Your blog’s editorial window (“niche,” although that’s the wrong word) — what your blog is generally about or tends to focus on
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…
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.

Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.
