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

It’s that straightforward.
the blog’s launch date and time
Open it for editing. Fill it with your own text 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.
Twitter (now X ‘ecks’): xxx
This blog was born on Wednesday, September 18, 2024, at 7:21 p.m. EST (23:21 UTC).

“What if I’ve already deleted those placeholder posts? What if I’ve posted a few posts already?”
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.

This blog updates every Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST (midnight UTC, Wednesday).
THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST
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.
Buffett Donates $6 Billion in Berkshire Stock to 5 Charities in Annual Gift - Barron's
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 is because you’re meant to fill them with pre-prepared copy (text and pictures).
The 3rd placeholder post

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.

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.
how frequent the blog is updated (i.e. what is your posting day — every Tuesday at 8 p.m. is a good starting point)
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.
Is BPD real or just an excuse?
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
On the balance of all practical probabilities, it’s easier (and cheaper) to write your own stuff.
English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).

Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.

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.
You need to understand why you yourself should be doing the writing for your own blog — certainly for the first two years.
There’s no point in backtracking. Don’t bother to re-create those placeholder posts.

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

Who your blog is aimed at, or who might be interested
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 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…
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).
