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

It’s that straightforward.
Example:—
I hope you didn’t delete them.
Why do men choose to marry a plain Jane woman over a pretty woman?
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.
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.
If you’ve just launched your blog, it should already have 3–6 empty placeholder posts autogenerated by the platform or system.
English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).

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
Have you ever been a victim of gaslighting? What happened?
This is your first actual post — the first piece of ‘meat’ for your blog. Open it and fill it with pre-prepared copy.
On the balance of all practical probabilities, it’s easier (and cheaper) to write your own stuff.
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.

how frequent the blog is updated (i.e. what is your posting day — every Tuesday at 8 p.m. is a good starting point)
Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.
Is it possible to become homeless after being released from jail or prison in the United States?
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).
Who your blog is aimed at, or who might be interested
This blog updates every Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST (midnight UTC, Wednesday).
Addressing your question more directly:—
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.
Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.

Just carry on from where you are. Stay on target, Luke.
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.
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.
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.

the blog’s main language
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…

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 second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.
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 About page will always be your blog’s most-viewed item and click magnet.
Every day, around 7 million blog posts are published on the Internet. You’re fighting for attention and breathing space even with a voice.
There’s no point in backtracking. Don’t bother to re-create those placeholder posts.
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.
“What if I’ve already deleted those placeholder posts? What if I’ve posted a few posts already?”
UH-OH…
