This is another case of the conflicting experts, and of me making tons of mistakes.
The 2 main questions new bloggers ask is "How long should my posts be?" and "How often should I post?" I answered the first question in my last post, so here's my discussion of the second question. This is another case of the conflicting experts, and of me making tons of mistakes. (Yes, I explain my mistakes for your enjoyment, so you can feel like a genius at my expense. You're welcome.)
About a year and a half ago, I read this article by Michael Hyatt: Do You Make These 10 Mistakes When You Blog? I discovered that I made a whole lot of mistakes (Oh, shocker!) and one that I felt I could immediately do something about was the mistake on length. Michael Hyatt recommends shooting for posts that are 500 words in length, though he notes that Seth Godin is the master of super short, but wildly popular, blog posts. (Say, in the 200 to 400 word range.) |
