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

Addressing your question more directly:—
“What if I’ve already deleted those placeholder posts? What if I’ve posted a few posts already?”
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).

UH-OH…
This is your first actual post — the first piece of ‘meat’ for your blog. Open it and fill it with pre-prepared copy.
You can contact me below (for blog and off-blog matters) or use the Contact Form (click here).
Your blog’s editorial window (“niche,” although that’s the wrong word) — what your blog is generally about or tends to focus on
Example:—
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)
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
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.

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.
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.
What is Canada’s digital tax and why is Trump killing trade talks over it? - Al Jazeera
Every day, around 7 million blog posts are published on the Internet. You’re fighting for attention and breathing space even with a voice.
Even news agencies like AP, Reuters, AFP, etc (with hundreds of reporters each worldwide) have their own overall ‘corporate’ and ‘news’ persona or voice.
There’s no point in backtracking. Don’t bother to re-create those placeholder posts.

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 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 3rd placeholder post
This is because you’re meant to fill them with pre-prepared copy (text and pictures).
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.

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

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 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.
THE 1ST PLACEHOLDER POST: ‘Hello, world!’
This blog updates every Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST (midnight UTC, Wednesday).
On the balance of all practical probabilities, it’s easier (and cheaper) to write your own stuff.
Who your blog is aimed at, or who might be interested
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.
Just carry on from where you are. Stay on target, Luke.

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

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