Blog Length

I've spoken about this topic before, but I want to clarify what blog postings I think tend to fit into different blog length categories.

Tutorials - LONG

I consider these full length tutorials that really teach a process.

How-to MEDIUM

These are going to give the reader information on how-to do something. What makes it different from a tutorial is that it's not a step-by-step process. It's more of a general concept.

Quick tip - SHORT

This is something which a person can initialize pretty much immediately. And so why not just make it really easy for them to grasp by not weighing it down with tons of observations.

Sharing a Link - SUPER SHORT

Sometimes I find a blog posting that I didn't write which is just far superior to anything I've read online. When that happens I'll create a blog post just to notify my readers of its existence. And say a few lines about why I think it's so great!

Oh an just think how much happier your readers will be getting the information they need in a speedier way!

Whoopie!

Love ya,

See how this one was medium? And it was a how-to! Well there ya go!

P.S. In case you need it here's my post on: How to Hyperlink.
