I haven’t written any long blog post till date. I think I will have to try writing one.
You should try it. It may be working great for your blog.
Many of my blog posts are 2,000 words and over. When I write them, I generally break down each section into “chapters” as a book would. From there I tend to break it down further into subheadings which I know I want to keep divided but make sure I cover.
When writing, I do a few sections at a time so I don’t burn out from writing so heavily all in one go.
You seems do it right mate.
Thanks Dana,
I will bookmark this page to read it again in the future. I have always kept my blog post as short as possible and included pictures and videos in it because I think that people now are lazy to read a long post. However, maybe I will need posting long articles sometimes.
You surely need to post a long article sometimes. It is good both for readership and SEO.
I’m always torn between writing long blog posts that fully explain a topic or just a quick flashy straightI to the point post. I haven’t noticed much difference in the traffic from post to post. For me the posts that get the most traffic are those that offer real solutions to real problems.
If we put long blog post here, the words will become “the most traffic are those offer real complete solutions”. That’s base on my experience.
You came up with really good order. I always prefer the same order, this way it don’t break flow of my article writing and easy to write long articles.
Yup, these steps surely help us to write long blog post.
Well, you and most of the blogosphere so I don’t blame you.
Thanks for the conversation, you should write long posts more. It’s not really that bad.
You’re welcome mate.
Hi. I usually write long posts and that’s because it allows me to reflect on all aspects of my topic. While making money is something I aspire to do, I have yet to venture on the topic so most of the time it’s about mindset and motivation. I’m aware that most readers tend to look for short posts. Once I’ve build a readership, they’ll take me for who I am supposedly. But I’m inspired by Yaro Starak of Entrepreneurs-Journey.com so I take after him when I write.
For me, I do not enjoy Yaro writing much. Instead Yaro, I enjoy the long blog post of Problogger.
