There is no right answer to this question but the shorter the better!
What are the most common challenges when writing a blog?
- Lack of time
- Lack of Focus.
- Issues With Content Quality And Frequency.
- Fear of Publishing / Perfectionism.
Great thing is that people do not have the time to read a long blog. What they want is quick content that will help them solve a problem or make their life better in some way.
We recommend the following structure of a good story:
- Create a strong HEADLINE
- Propose the CHALLENGE facing a certain TARGET AUDIENCE
- Propose the SOLUTION to the problem
Typical Blogs can be anywhere from 200 to 1500 words. We recommend that less is more! Integrating video with your blog can really help make it more interesting and dynamic.
