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

Example:—
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.
Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.
On the balance of all practical probabilities, it’s easier (and cheaper) to write your own stuff.

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).

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.

I hope you didn’t delete them.
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
Will friendly dogs protect their owners?
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.
Just carry on from where you are. Stay on target, Luke.
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.

The second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.

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.
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.
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.

Addressing your question more directly:—
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…
UH-OH…

THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST
Your contact details (email at a minimum)
how frequent the blog is updated (i.e. what is your posting day — every Tuesday at 8 p.m. is a good starting point)
If you’ve just launched your blog, it should already have 3–6 empty placeholder posts autogenerated by the platform or system.

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.
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.
This is because you’re meant to fill them with pre-prepared copy (text and pictures).
You need to understand why you yourself should be doing the writing for your own blog — certainly for the first two years.

THE 1ST PLACEHOLDER POST: ‘Hello, world!’
Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.
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.
