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.
Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.
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…
Why do some people believe that Homelander would be no match for Superman or Thor?
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.

On the balance of all practical probabilities, it’s easier (and cheaper) to write your own stuff.
This is because you’re meant to fill them with pre-prepared copy (text and pictures).
“What if I’ve already deleted those placeholder posts? What if I’ve posted a few posts already?”

You can contact me below (for blog and off-blog matters) or use the Contact Form (click here).
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.
What are your controversial and hot takes on Naruto?
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).
I hope you didn’t delete them.

The About page will always be your blog’s most-viewed item and click magnet.
If you’ve just launched your blog, it should already have 3–6 empty placeholder posts autogenerated by the platform or system.

Open it for editing. Fill it with your own text on:—
Your blog’s editorial window (“niche,” although that’s the wrong word) — what your blog is generally about or tends to focus on
UH-OH…
This blog updates every Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST (midnight UTC, Wednesday).
Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.

The 3rd placeholder post
“Administrativa” like:—
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.
The 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts
THE 1ST PLACEHOLDER POST: ‘Hello, world!’

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
Just carry on from where you are. Stay on target, Luke.
Even news agencies like AP, Reuters, AFP, etc (with hundreds of reporters each worldwide) have their own overall ‘corporate’ and ‘news’ persona or voice.
Every day, around 7 million blog posts are published on the Internet. You’re fighting for attention and breathing space even with a voice.
Who your blog is aimed at, or who might be interested
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 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.
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)
