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

The About page will always be your blog’s most-viewed item and click magnet.

It’s that straightforward.
How can we become the best humans? How can we trust each other?
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.
The 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts
Even news agencies like AP, Reuters, AFP, etc (with hundreds of reporters each worldwide) have their own overall ‘corporate’ and ‘news’ persona or voice.
Who your blog is aimed at, or who might be interested
There’s no point in backtracking. Don’t bother to re-create those placeholder posts.

Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.

Atheists who have read the Bible and think that contains immoral things, why do you assume that?

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.
Just carry on from where you are. Stay on target, Luke.
What is the best case of “You just picked a fight with the wrong person” that you've witnessed?
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.

Addressing your question more directly:—
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
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…
Why do people who were very kind and loving once become cold-hearted?
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.
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).

Your blog’s editorial window (“niche,” although that’s the wrong word) — what your blog is generally about or tends to focus on
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.

On the balance of all practical probabilities, it’s easier (and cheaper) to write your own stuff.

I hope you didn’t delete them.
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.
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.
the blog’s launch date and time
Why are white women not interested in dating Asian men? Are they not attractive to you at all?
English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).
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.
This blog updates every Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST (midnight UTC, Wednesday).

Every day, around 7 million blog posts are published on the Internet. You’re fighting for attention and breathing space even with a voice.
Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.

THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST
You need to understand why you yourself should be doing the writing for your own blog — certainly for the first two years.
The second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.
Your contact details (email at a minimum)
This is your first actual post — the first piece of ‘meat’ for your blog. Open it and fill it with pre-prepared copy.
THE 1ST PLACEHOLDER POST: ‘Hello, world!’
Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.
The 3rd placeholder post
Facebook: xxx
UH-OH…
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.
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.
This is because you’re meant to fill them with pre-prepared copy (text and pictures).
