Who your blog is aimed at, or who might be interested
Your blog’s editorial window (“niche,” although that’s the wrong word) — what your blog is generally about or tends to focus on
the blog’s main language
Why do narcissists want to hurt your feelings, even after they discard you?
Just carry on from where you are. Stay on target, Luke.
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).
The About page will always be your blog’s most-viewed item and click magnet.

Kuorans, what are some things unique to your country?
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.

Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.
There’s no point in backtracking. Don’t bother to re-create those placeholder posts.
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.
What are tips for weight loss?

What was something you did naughty with your cousin?
“What if I’ve already deleted those placeholder posts? What if I’ve posted a few posts already?”

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

Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.
your general commenting policy
On the balance of all practical probabilities, it’s easier (and cheaper) to write your own stuff.
What is one thing you've learned from life?
how frequent the blog is updated (i.e. what is your posting day — every Tuesday at 8 p.m. is a good starting point)
Example:—
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…

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.
This blog updates every Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST (midnight UTC, Wednesday).
THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST

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

THE 1ST PLACEHOLDER POST: ‘Hello, world!’
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 contact details (email at a minimum)
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.
I hope you didn’t delete them.

The 3rd placeholder post
UH-OH…
It’s that straightforward.
Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.
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.
