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

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).

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…
Just carry on from where you are. Stay on target, Luke.
Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.

This blog updates every Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST (midnight UTC, Wednesday).
This is because you’re meant to fill them with pre-prepared copy (text and pictures).
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.

Who your blog is aimed at, or who might be interested
This is your first actual post — the first piece of ‘meat’ for your blog. Open it and fill it with pre-prepared copy.
The 3rd placeholder post
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.
THE 1ST PLACEHOLDER POST: ‘Hello, world!’
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
Even news agencies like AP, Reuters, AFP, etc (with hundreds of reporters each worldwide) have their own overall ‘corporate’ and ‘news’ persona or voice.
It’s that straightforward.

“What if I’ve already deleted those placeholder posts? What if I’ve posted a few posts already?”
I hope you didn’t delete them.
If you’ve just launched your blog, it should already have 3–6 empty placeholder posts autogenerated by the platform or system.

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

THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST
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.

your general commenting policy
You need to understand why you yourself should be doing the writing for your own blog — certainly for the first two years.

the blog’s main language
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.
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.
