How often do you create long articles?

[Shawn Gossman]

Do you ever create long articles for your blog? If so, how often do you create them?

To me, a long article is more than 2,500 words.

I try to create at least ONE long article each month. I usually aim for 8,000 to a little bit over 10,000 words for the article.

It takes a while but those articles tend to do really well in search and with readers - as long as they are of great quality.

Is this something you do? Why or why not?

I need to get better at writing articles people want to read. It's been a few weeks since I wrote an article on my site. I would love to get a few article writers who churn out articles on a more regular basis thoguh. Perhaps in the future.

It always helps me to outline my articles.

H1 for title
H2 for sections
H3 for sub-sections

I'll write the intro and outro first and then fill in the middle.
