Yes it can totally be too long.

But if you follow this awesome advice from smart researchy people it’s manageable. Win!

Thank You Buffer!
Thank You Buffer!

Full disclosure:  I didn’t read the whole article.

Because it was too long.  Oh, irony is beautiful.

But not as beautiful as you.

  1. It’s not the length – it’s the content. Give me something worth reading!

    1. I agree! I also love snapshots like these – research cliff notes for busy people : )

  2. Width is the most important to me.

    1. Hahaha – thank you for spicing up the comments section : )

  3. Lol “I didn’t read the whole article.”

    1. I’m busy! And if know anything: a photo is worth 1,000 words hahaha

  4. I think 1600 words is pushing it for a blog post. I have a hard enough time getting to all the blogs I follow as it is. Great infographic!

    1. Me too! I read somewhere else that 600 words is the sweet spot for blog posts. Who knows?!

      I loved El Guapos post about your book : ). It’s on my list to order today!

      1. Aw, thank you. So lovely to hear! Hope you enjoy it. 🙂

      2. I’m sure I will – it sounds awesome : )

  5. I’ll read a long post, so long as it interests me, but I still love the graphic, which shows me I fail often, and with moxie!

    1. I’m putting fail with moxie on my goals for this year haha. You rock!

  6. Oh, what would we do without smart researchy people…

    1. I know, right? Hooray!

  7. Hilarious – “I didn’t read the whole article.”

  8. Iiiiiinteresting. Hmmm… I should start accepting advice, but I’m so bad at following it.

    1. Advice should usually be very specifically ignored. Unless it’s from a grandmother. They almost always know the real score : )

  9. I didn’t realise twitter counted as “long form” amongst its social media peers.

  10. You have to give the readers something exciting to read about. You can’t bore them with a long story that they can’t even finish… Capture with strong words and emotions!
