When people search for information online, they want to cut to the chase. Your goal is to write clearly and effectively while providing useful information.
Many industry professionals say that blog posts should average between 500 – 600 words. Use as few words as possible to convey your message.
The more effectively you communicate your point, the faster you will gain subscribers.
These 6 tips have always worked well for me:
- Write the first draft without over-thinking it – just start typing what’s in your head.
- Use bullets to sum up key points quickly.
- Ask yourself if there are there words that can be deleted without sacrificing meaning?
- Do a word count so you can get a feel for the blog length. Word Count Plus is a great tool – highlight your text and receive your word count instantly.
- Revise your content until you are completely satisfied with it, no matter how many times it takes.
- If it still isn’t working for you, write something else. You can always come back later when your mind is fresh.
