As Schiller once wrote to Goethe (or was it the other way around?): “I am writing you a long letter because I did not have time to write you a short one.” Here are some key tips (influenced by Carlos Blanco) on why it is better to create short rather than long blog posts.

Two weeks ago Carlos called me for a quick chat and to give me some advice for this blog. He gave me a critique that has influenced me to change the way I create short posts and not so long ones, as I was doing recently. Here are some of his key recommendations mixed with additional advice from me:
Reasons why short posts are better than long ones
People don't read articles, they scan them . If they are too long, they are afraid to start reading, because they always run the risk of being told something that will not give them anything.
As Schiller told Goethe, if you are not able to convey korea number phone your message in a short post , you will not be able to do so in a long one either.
Short posts give you the opportunity to create series and discuss individual topics in more detail. This way, you increase the return of users who have had an initial interest in the topic.
As this is a short post, I have limited it to the three most important reasons. What are the reasons that you see?

Hello
I think exactly the same as Carlos advised you.
My posts are usually:
-Short and freshly written (easy to read)
-I always include an image to help the reader relax their level of concentration on the text
-A certain touch of humor and personal expressions
-Spelling correction and at least a decent design
But yes, I prefer 3 short posts than one long and relatively unreadable or difficult to read one… because I believe that blog readers (or at least I do) read quickly and not deeply.
