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

I hope you didn’t delete them.
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 blog’s editorial window (“niche,” although that’s the wrong word) — what your blog is generally about or tends to focus on
What did someone say to you that instantly made you realize their life was in danger?
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
“What if I’ve already deleted those placeholder posts? What if I’ve posted a few posts already?”
Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.
How do you get a teenage boy to care about hygiene?
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.
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)

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’re running a hobby-horse blog, you generally don’t pay because then you’d be inviting people to guest-post out of interest.
On the balance of all practical probabilities, it’s easier (and cheaper) to write your own stuff.
The About page will always be your blog’s most-viewed item and click magnet.
The second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.

Why do North Indians, living in Bangalore, not bother to learn Kannada?
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 1ST PLACEHOLDER POST: ‘Hello, world!’
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.
Example:—
Even news agencies like AP, Reuters, AFP, etc (with hundreds of reporters each worldwide) have their own overall ‘corporate’ and ‘news’ persona or voice.

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 contact me below (for blog and off-blog matters) or use the Contact Form (click here).
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.
This is your first actual post — the first piece of ‘meat’ for your blog. Open it and fill it 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.
