How Long Should A Blog Post Be?

When Seth Godin became an evangelist for blogging, he advocated short posts. He still writes that way. But his posts are full of wisdom and good graces.

Nevertheless, there are plenty of bloggers who write long posts and they provide great insight into their topics every day. That’s great. A blog post has to be as long as it needs to be to get the point across. But it need not be any longer.

So how long should it be?

Not long. But it’s entirely up to you. You’re writing it so write it your way.

But if you have a ghostwriter write your blog for you then find out what the minimum and maximum number of words are going to be in their blog posts. Here at Blog Content Provider, our posts are typically between 250-500 words each. We sometimes write longer posts, but we rarely write shorter. We believe in delivering value.
