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

I hope you didn’t delete them.
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.
It’s that straightforward.

Even news agencies like AP, Reuters, AFP, etc (with hundreds of reporters each worldwide) have their own overall ‘corporate’ and ‘news’ persona or voice.

The 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts
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.

On the balance of all practical probabilities, it’s easier (and cheaper) to write your own stuff.
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.

The second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.
This is because you’re meant to fill them with pre-prepared copy (text and pictures).
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.

Who your blog is aimed at, or who might be interested
The About page will always be your blog’s most-viewed item and click magnet.

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.
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.

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

your general commenting policy
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 blog’s main language
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.
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:—

THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST
Your contact details (email at a minimum)
There’s no point in backtracking. Don’t bother to re-create those placeholder posts.
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
Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.
This blog updates every Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST (midnight UTC, Wednesday).
Just carry on from where you are. Stay on target, Luke.
English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).
