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).

Is Taylor Swift actually a nice person?
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.
Even news agencies like AP, Reuters, AFP, etc (with hundreds of reporters each worldwide) have their own overall ‘corporate’ and ‘news’ persona or voice.
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 blog’s main language
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.

English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).
THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST

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.

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.

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

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.

Addressing your question more directly:—
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…
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.

Your blog’s editorial window (“niche,” although that’s the wrong word) — what your blog is generally about or tends to focus on
Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.
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’ve just launched your blog, it should already have 3–6 empty placeholder posts autogenerated by the platform or system.
You need to understand why you yourself should be doing the writing for your own blog — certainly for the first two years.
