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

Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.
Even news agencies like AP, Reuters, AFP, etc (with hundreds of reporters each worldwide) have their own overall ‘corporate’ and ‘news’ persona or voice.
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.

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

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
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.

I hope you didn’t delete them.
English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).
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.

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

The second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.
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.
Example:—
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.
Addressing your question more directly:—
Your blog’s editorial window (“niche,” although that’s the wrong word) — what your blog is generally about or tends to focus on
Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.
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 1ST PLACEHOLDER POST: ‘Hello, world!’
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’ve just launched your blog, it should already have 3–6 empty placeholder posts autogenerated by the platform or system.
