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

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…
Open it for editing. Fill it with your own text on:—
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).
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.
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.

It’s that straightforward.
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.

What is your most intimate experience with your best friend?
Every day, around 7 million blog posts are published on the Internet. You’re fighting for attention and breathing space even with a voice.
This blog updates every Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST (midnight UTC, Wednesday).
THE 1ST PLACEHOLDER POST: ‘Hello, world!’
How can you know if they are your twin flame and not limerence or obsession?
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.
I hope you didn’t delete them.
Just carry on from where you are. Stay on target, Luke.

Addressing your question more directly:—
On the balance of all practical probabilities, it’s easier (and cheaper) to write your own stuff.
“What if I’ve already deleted those placeholder posts? What if I’ve posted a few posts already?”
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.

Even news agencies like AP, Reuters, AFP, etc (with hundreds of reporters each worldwide) have their own overall ‘corporate’ and ‘news’ persona or voice.
The 3rd placeholder post

Example:—
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.
Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.

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.
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
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.
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 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST
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).
You need to understand why you yourself should be doing the writing for your own blog — certainly for the first two years.
