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

Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.
It’s that straightforward.
how frequent the blog is updated (i.e. what is your posting day — every Tuesday at 8 p.m. is a good starting point)
How was your first cuckolding experience as a husband?
“What if I’ve already deleted those placeholder posts? What if I’ve posted a few posts already?”
English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).
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.

What was your worst experience while living with roommates?
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.
Your blog’s editorial window (“niche,” although that’s the wrong word) — what your blog is generally about or tends to focus on
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.

I hope you didn’t delete them.

Your contact details (email at a minimum)
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.
Addressing your question more directly:—
What were your fantasies when you reached puberty?
Open it for editing. Fill it with your own text on:—
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.
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).

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

Is the Las Vegas Grand Prix considered one of the "premier events on the Formula 1 calendar?"
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…
You need to understand why you yourself should be doing the writing for your own blog — certainly for the first two years.

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.
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.
Every day, around 7 million blog posts are published on the Internet. You’re fighting for attention and breathing space even with a voice.
Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.
the blog’s main language
If you’ve just launched your blog, it should already have 3–6 empty placeholder posts autogenerated by the platform or system.
This blog was born on Wednesday, September 18, 2024, at 7:21 p.m. EST (23:21 UTC).
This is because you’re meant to fill them with pre-prepared copy (text and pictures).
Example:—
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.

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.
