How Long Should Your Blog Articles Be? https://buff.ly/2pzmD22 - Good news for those writing website content. You don't need to write massive posts to rank. Depending on industry, how well you write and format the content, posts can be between 1000 - 2000 words and still rank.

The most common issue I see with blog content is…
 It’s written like the author/company doesn’t expect anyone to actually READ IT.
 Short story shorter? There’s no soul in the work. It’s just words on a page, finalised by following a checklist. Sure, your keywords are in all the ‘right’ places. You’ve got short paragraphs and sentences. And you’ve probably done many other things suggested by your writing/editing tools of choice. Yay? 

Flipside: there’s no logical flow. The writing is bland. The tone is yawn-worthy. You tell ZERO story. You might rank, but you won’t move the needle — even the slightest — on the conversion front. 

Getting page 1 is just phase 1. Do you factor in what happens next? 👀

"I'll just quickly write this blog post." Stop right there. Rushing your content creation is a recipe for disaster. In my years running a content writing company and being a freelancer myself, I've seen how hasty writing leads to: • Weak introductions that fail to hook readers • Poorly structured arguments • Lack of supporting evidence • Missed opportunities for SEO and featured snippets • Typos and grammatical errors Quality content takes time. So, always ensure you: ✔︎ Plan ✔︎ Research ✔︎ Write ✔︎ Edit ✔︎ Optimize Your readers will thank you. And so will your search rankings. How long does it typically take you to craft a blog post? #ContentCreation #BloggingBestPractices

If you don’t teach your writers anything this week teach them these 2 things. 1. Complete your thoughts when writing. Don’t write a sentence halfway and leave the rest for the reader. 2. Write like you've been hired as a consultant to teach your readers. How will you teach them the topic in a way that’s interesting and useful? Write like that. #seo #content ---- I share content strategy and production ideas. I also talk about how to use Linkedin for your business.

The Everlasting Content Battle: Quality vs. Quantity 😖 [Think Pareto + answer 2 questions]. 👉 20% of your content produces 80% of your results — Pareto’s 80/20 rule has certainly been my experience over the years. So let’s ask (and answer) two questions: 👉#1. Is it about value over volume (quality over quantity)?  Yes and no. 👉#2. Is there anything wrong with writing fewer articles?  No — often less is more. More doesn’t necessarily mean better. We all know the online pandemic of redundant/poor content. If you want your readers to be hungry for your creations — instead of overeating them — create unique content that matters. Make it so compelling, unique and/or well-researched that your readers cannot wait to be notified of your new post. Still, if you’re serious about your content strategy/journey, you may need to produce a big number of words, especially before you know what works and focus on that. Thoughts?
