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.
Every day, around 7 million blog posts are published on the Internet. You’re fighting for attention and breathing space even with a voice.
There’s no point in backtracking. Don’t bother to re-create those placeholder posts.
Who you are — you don’t have to disclose your identity, but there must be a person even with a pseudonym (not anonymous) for attracting readers and subscribers
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.

Even news agencies like AP, Reuters, AFP, etc (with hundreds of reporters each worldwide) have their own overall ‘corporate’ and ‘news’ persona or voice.

THE 1ST PLACEHOLDER POST: ‘Hello, world!’
On the balance of all practical probabilities, it’s easier (and cheaper) to write your own stuff.
Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.

the blog’s launch date and time
The second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.
This is because you’re meant to fill them with pre-prepared copy (text and pictures).
Addressing your question more directly:—
Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.
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.

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.
I hope you didn’t delete them.
Open it for editing. Fill it with your own text on:—

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).

UH-OH…
how frequent the blog is updated (i.e. what is your posting day — every Tuesday at 8 p.m. is a good starting point)
It’s that straightforward.

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 2ND 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…
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 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 About page will always be your blog’s most-viewed item and click magnet.
You need to understand why you yourself should be doing the writing for your own blog — certainly for the first two years.
