Length of an article?

[bluesky]

What should be the length of an ideal article? I am of the view that 300 words is the ideal length.

It depends on the policy of the writing sites. I found today two writing article sites and each requires 500 to 1000 words but the pay is $100 per article submission.

It depends on the article and the impact you want it to have, for me 300 words is not enough.

Three hundred words is not bad but you can strive to make it five hundred words. Also, an article should not be full of repetitions for the sake of making it long. It can be just three hundred words but it is packed up with information.

Adding subtitles to your article can help make it longer. For example, title, uses, advantages, disadvantages, conclusion e.t.c. are short titles to help outline your article and make it longer.

For me at least, an article has to be at least 1500 words, but it also depends on where you are going to write it, there are some sites that have articles even of only 600 words.

I'm one person that don't like long boring articles. So just make it short and straight to the point. So 500 words maximum for me.

It depends on where you are writing or who you are writing these articles for. Most platforms usually have specifications.

Yes, they will tell you the length of articles that they want. But long articles are hardly read by a lot of people

It depends on the site. Many of the sites have fixed minimum words as 300 and some need their article to be lengthy of above 1000 words or more.

Yes that's true, people get tired easily or bored of reading long materials or articles.

 

[Kross]

I have written professional articles that get published in magazines. And most always require a minimum word count of 1000 words.

I'm no fan of long articles just write the main information in very clear terms . Make it concise and short so that we get the real information

 

[SHAHID987]

We can't decide it by our own. When I submit my article in LinkedIn they said write less than 300 words. Smashoid requirement is more than 500 words. Some website need 2200.

Unless you are writing for a client's that need something long but for a personal publications I think a short article should suffice

If you want your article to rank on search engines you need to write your content between 1200-2500.

The main thing for me in an article is just the information herein. So it is better to summarize the information into something shorter to attract people to read
