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

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.
I hope you didn’t delete them.
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.

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.

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.
Every day, around 7 million blog posts are published on the Internet. You’re fighting for attention and breathing space even with a voice.
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.

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

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 blog updates every Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST (midnight UTC, Wednesday).
The second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.
