How long should Your Article be? The top internet marketers have realized that if someone is going to read something they will read the whole article.
Testing has shown that people first get interested in the topic, then once they are interested in the topic they read the whole article.
The most important part is to grab their attention and outline the benefits to them. Then write your article as long as it needs to be to get your message across.
Whether your article is 1 page or 10 pages does not seem to matter. They will read it.
But as we have just learned previously, this does not give you a license to waffle.
Even if you are writing a long article (say 10 pages) you still need to go straight to important points
My personal preference is for shorter articles of between 400 and 1,000 words. It seems that with this length I can get my message across quite easily.
This is what I like and it also suits what I write about.
If you are writing a particularly technical article about computer programming then a short article could be the worst thing you could do.
Only a long article explaining the many details of computer programming will work for this topic.
Keep the long article exciting and use the other techniques we have learned to keep on topic and specific about the subject.
Another thing to remember is that you are giving away your article for free.
You do not want to give your reader everything you know in one long free article.
You could split it into many smaller articles and give away each one for free or you could use that one long free article as a precursor to your eBook that you have written
