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

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

On the balance of all practical probabilities, it’s easier (and cheaper) to write your own stuff.
Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.
If you’ve just launched your blog, it should already have 3–6 empty placeholder posts autogenerated by the platform or system.
It’s that straightforward.

Open it for editing. Fill it with your own text on:—
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.
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
There’s no point in backtracking. Don’t bother to re-create those placeholder posts.

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.

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 second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.
Every day, around 7 million blog posts are published on the Internet. You’re fighting for attention and breathing space even with a voice.
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 most craziest dream you ever had?
Even news agencies like AP, Reuters, AFP, etc (with hundreds of reporters each worldwide) have their own overall ‘corporate’ and ‘news’ persona or voice.
English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).
I hope you didn’t delete them.

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 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.

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 blog’s main language
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.
Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.
THE 1ST PLACEHOLDER POST: ‘Hello, world!’
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 About page will always be your blog’s most-viewed item and click magnet.
