Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.
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.
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.
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.
Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.
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).
Example:—
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

“What if I’ve already deleted those placeholder posts? What if I’ve posted a few posts already?”
how frequent the blog is updated (i.e. what is your posting day — every Tuesday at 8 p.m. is a good starting point)
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.
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.
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.

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.

On the balance of all practical probabilities, it’s easier (and cheaper) to write your own stuff.
It’s that straightforward.
You need to understand why you yourself should be doing the writing for your own blog — certainly for the first two years.
English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).

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.

There’s no point in backtracking. Don’t bother to re-create those placeholder posts.
The second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.

Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.
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.
