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

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 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
Every day, around 7 million blog posts are published on the Internet. You’re fighting for attention and breathing space even with a voice.

Just carry on from where you are. Stay on target, Luke.
It’s that straightforward.
Even news agencies like AP, Reuters, AFP, etc (with hundreds of reporters each worldwide) have their own overall ‘corporate’ and ‘news’ persona or voice.
Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.

Your blog’s editorial window (“niche,” although that’s the wrong word) — what your blog is generally about or tends to focus on
“What if I’ve already deleted those placeholder posts? What if I’ve posted a few posts already?”

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.

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.

You need to understand why you yourself should be doing the writing for your own blog — certainly for the first two years.
English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).

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

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.
There’s no point in backtracking. Don’t bother to re-create those placeholder posts.
