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

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.

You need to understand why you yourself should be doing the writing for your own blog — certainly for the first two years.
You can contact me below (for blog and off-blog matters) or use the Contact Form (click here).
On the balance of all practical probabilities, it’s easier (and cheaper) to write your own stuff.

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
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).

This is your first actual post — the first piece of ‘meat’ for your blog. Open it and fill it with pre-prepared copy.

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

Who your blog is aimed at, or who might be interested
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.

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.
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 3rd placeholder post
The About page will always be your blog’s most-viewed item and click magnet.
“What if I’ve already deleted those placeholder posts? What if I’ve posted a few posts already?”
the blog’s launch date and time
THE 1ST PLACEHOLDER POST: ‘Hello, world!’
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’ve just launched your blog, it should already have 3–6 empty placeholder posts autogenerated by the platform or system.

It’s that straightforward.
English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).
Just carry on from where you are. Stay on target, Luke.
The 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts
There’s no point in backtracking. Don’t bother to re-create those placeholder posts.
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.
