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

You need to understand why you yourself should be doing the writing for your own blog — certainly for the first two years.
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

It’s that straightforward.
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…

THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST
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.

how frequent the blog is updated (i.e. what is your posting day — every Tuesday at 8 p.m. is a good starting point)
Just carry on from where you are. Stay on target, Luke.
On the balance of all practical probabilities, it’s easier (and cheaper) to write your own stuff.

The 3rd placeholder post
The 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts
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.

Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.
the blog’s launch date and time
“Administrativa” like:—
UH-OH…
This blog was born on Wednesday, September 18, 2024, at 7:21 p.m. EST (23:21 UTC).
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.

Even news agencies like AP, Reuters, AFP, etc (with hundreds of reporters each worldwide) have their own overall ‘corporate’ and ‘news’ persona or voice.
This blog updates every Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST (midnight UTC, Wednesday).
I hope you didn’t delete them.

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’re running a hobby-horse blog, you generally don’t pay because then you’d be inviting people to guest-post out of interest.
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).

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.
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.
This is your first actual post — the first piece of ‘meat’ for your blog. Open it and fill it with pre-prepared copy.
The second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.
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’ve just launched your blog, it should already have 3–6 empty placeholder posts autogenerated by the platform or system.
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.

“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.
