Example:—

Your blog’s editorial window (“niche,” although that’s the wrong word) — what your blog is generally about or tends to focus on

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.
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.

Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.
THE 1ST PLACEHOLDER POST: ‘Hello, world!’
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).
