My blog is new. I need 10 article posts for my blog. How much should I pay for it?

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.
Just carry on from where you are. Stay on target, Luke.
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.
What is something you want to "get off your chest"?
“What if I’ve already deleted those placeholder posts? What if I’ve posted a few posts already?”
You can contact me below (for blog and off-blog matters) or use the Contact Form (click here).
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.

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

What is the best reply if your boyfriend asks you,"why do you love me?"
Every day, around 7 million blog posts are published on the Internet. You’re fighting for attention and breathing space even with a voice.
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 a cat is feminine in German, what article do you give to a male cat?
your general commenting policy
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.
Even news agencies like AP, Reuters, AFP, etc (with hundreds of reporters each worldwide) have their own overall ‘corporate’ and ‘news’ persona or voice.
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 succeed, you succeed. If you fail, you fail. It doesn’t matter either way because you still have to do some elementary things.

This is because you’re meant to fill them with pre-prepared copy (text and pictures).

Has anyone ever really waited that long and gotten a paper check mailed 20 days ago?
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 3rd placeholder post
We white women don't like white men. Do you have any issue with that?
If you’ve just launched your blog, it should already have 3–6 empty placeholder posts autogenerated by the platform or system.
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.

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…

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.

The second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.
Addressing your question more directly:—
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).
Open it for editing. Fill it with your own text on:—

On the balance of all practical probabilities, it’s easier (and cheaper) to write your own stuff.
Example:—
This blog updates every Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST (midnight UTC, Wednesday).
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.
I hope you didn’t delete them.
Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.
