My blog is new. I need 10 article posts for my blog. How much should I pay for it?
Last Updated: 30.06.2025 02:42
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.
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.
THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST
Every day, around 7 million blog posts are published on the Internet. You’re fighting for attention and breathing space even with a voice.

Who your blog is aimed at, or who might be interested
It’s that straightforward.
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.

The 3rd placeholder post
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…
This is your first actual post — the first piece of ‘meat’ for your blog. Open it and fill it with pre-prepared copy.

On the balance of all practical probabilities, it’s easier (and cheaper) to write your own stuff.
Your blog’s editorial window (“niche,” although that’s the wrong word) — what your blog is generally about or tends to focus 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.

“What if I’ve already deleted those placeholder posts? What if I’ve posted a few posts already?”
The 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts
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.

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.
There’s no point in backtracking. Don’t bother to re-create those placeholder posts.

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.

Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.
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).
This is because you’re meant to fill them with pre-prepared copy (text and pictures).

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