Keep Blog Posts Short and Informative.

What is the ideal length of a blog post? Well, you might be surprised to find out that to maximum blogging efforts your blog posts should be 150 words or less.  That is not many, just look at this post for I am up to 45 words already.

According to John Tesh at Tesh.com, the average iphone can display approximately 150 words. Many people read while they are on a subway or they are standing in a grocery line.  Quick reading; they read a page and they are done.

Many ebook writers are now taking this into account when writing ebooks.  I might add here too, that the sales of Kindles are going down as more and more people opt for iphones.  This post I got from listening to the Tesh show and I thought I would pass it on.

So basically within the first 150 words of your blog post you should have some kind of call to action like this real one of mine:  Interested in selling Tee shirts from your blog?  Click here and follow my experience!

Well, this post is about at length so I will conclude it by saying time to write posts in Word so you know exactly how many words your blog posts are.

There are a couple of exceptions to this rule.  If you are content writing and want to be placed high up in search engine results, you will want long blog posts of 1000 to 2500 words.  But mix in some short posts for those readers who are checking you out on their phones.  And don't forget to put some kind of action link in the short reads.
