“What if I’ve already deleted those placeholder posts? What if I’ve posted a few posts already?”

English is the blog’s language, but other languages may appear occasionally (hopefully with an English translation).
Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.

There’s no point in backtracking. Don’t bother to re-create those placeholder posts.
Whatever the editorial window or niche, your blog has a ‘voice.’ That voice is you.

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
THE 1ST PLACEHOLDER POST: ‘Hello, world!’
This is your first actual post — the first piece of ‘meat’ for your blog. Open it and fill it with pre-prepared copy.

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).
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.
Why would you think you're fit to be a model?
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.

how frequent the blog is updated (i.e. what is your posting day — every Tuesday at 8 p.m. is a good starting point)
Every day, around 7 million blog posts are published on the Internet. You’re fighting for attention and breathing space even with a voice.
I hope you didn’t delete them.

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.
The second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.

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 4th, 5th and 6th placeholder posts
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.

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

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.
