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.
THE 1ST PLACEHOLDER POST: ‘Hello, world!’

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.
Your blog’s editorial window (“niche,” although that’s the wrong word) — what your blog is generally about or tends to focus on
It’s that straightforward.
What is an appropriate response to someone saying "merci" in French?
The About page will always be your blog’s most-viewed item and click magnet.

“What if I’ve already deleted those placeholder posts? What if I’ve posted a few posts already?”
Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.
the blog’s launch date and time
What are some ballbusting stories?
Even news agencies like AP, Reuters, AFP, etc (with hundreds of reporters each worldwide) have their own overall ‘corporate’ and ‘news’ persona or voice.
UH-OH…
This is because you’re meant to fill them with pre-prepared copy (text and pictures).

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

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.
Example:—
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).
Who has gotten cured from a stage 4 breast cancer? The oncologist told her she would never be cured.
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.
You need to understand why you yourself should be doing the writing for your own blog — certainly for the first two years.
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.

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’ve just launched your blog, it should already have 3–6 empty placeholder posts autogenerated by the platform or system.
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.
Open it for editing. Fill it with your own text on:—
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
English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).

On the balance of all practical probabilities, it’s easier (and cheaper) to write your own stuff.
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 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.
Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.
