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

Twitter (now X ‘ecks’): xxx
The 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts
the blog’s launch date and time
English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).
Facebook: xxx
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.
Email: xxx
Open it for editing. Fill it with your own text on:—

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

THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST
John “Ramenista” Smith
If you’ve just launched your blog, it should already have 3–6 empty placeholder posts autogenerated by the platform or system.
Why aren't F1 cars popular on the street?
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.
your general commenting policy
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.

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.

Do you agree with Michael Moore that Donald Trump is "toast" in a political comeback?

On the balance of all practical probabilities, it’s easier (and cheaper) to write your own stuff.
Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.
Every day, around 7 million blog posts are published on the Internet. You’re fighting for attention and breathing space even with a voice.
You can contact me below (for blog and off-blog matters) or use the Contact Form (click here).
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 succeed, you succeed. If you fail, you fail. It doesn’t matter either way because you still have to do some elementary things.
This is your first actual post — the first piece of ‘meat’ for your blog. Open it and fill it with pre-prepared copy.
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
How do I maintain and care for granite countertops in a coastal climate like Pompano Beach?
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.
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.
I hope you didn’t delete them.

There’s no point in backtracking. Don’t bother to re-create those placeholder posts.
This blog updates every Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST (midnight UTC, Wednesday).
You need to understand why you yourself should be doing the writing for your own blog — certainly for the first two years.

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
THE 1ST PLACEHOLDER POST: ‘Hello, world!’
the blog’s main language
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.
Just carry on from where you are. Stay on target, Luke.
Your blog’s editorial window (“niche,” although that’s the wrong word) — what your blog is generally about or tends to focus on
It’s that straightforward.

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.

UH-OH…
Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.
Even news agencies like AP, Reuters, AFP, etc (with hundreds of reporters each worldwide) have their own overall ‘corporate’ and ‘news’ persona or voice.
