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

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 need to understand why you yourself should be doing the writing for your own blog — certainly for the first two years.
Who your blog is aimed at, or who might be interested
UH-OH…

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.
English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).

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

This is because you’re meant to fill them with pre-prepared copy (text and pictures).
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…
how frequent the blog is updated (i.e. what is your posting day — every Tuesday at 8 p.m. is a good starting point)
Why do most people care so much about what others think? Are they afraid of society norms?
Open it for editing. Fill it with your own text on:—
THE 1ST PLACEHOLDER POST: ‘Hello, world!’
“What if I’ve already deleted those placeholder posts? What if I’ve posted a few posts already?”

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 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.
Example:—

If you’ve just launched your blog, it should already have 3–6 empty placeholder posts autogenerated by the platform or system.

I hope you didn’t delete them.
The second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.

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

the blog’s main language
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).
What are the latest interior design trends in 2025?
Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.
Addressing your question more directly:—
The About page will always be your blog’s most-viewed item and click magnet.

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.
Just carry on from where you are. Stay on target, Luke.
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.
Even news agencies like AP, Reuters, AFP, etc (with hundreds of reporters each worldwide) have their own overall ‘corporate’ and ‘news’ persona or voice.

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.
Open them and fill with pre-prepared copy.

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