Let me be honest... writing blog posts is a lot of work.
You might think, "Do I really need to write 1,000 to 2,000 words?"
Maybe you’ve seen short blog posts online and thought, "That looks easier."
But here’s the truth: If you want people to read, share, and trust your content, longer posts win.
And I’m not talking about writing just to fill space—I mean writing posts that truly help people.
Why longer (1k-2k words) blog posts work better?
1. Google Loves Them:
Search engines like Google rank longer, detailed posts higher.
Why?
Because they offer more value. A 200-word post can’t cover a topic in depth.
But a 1,500-word post? That can answer all the questions a reader has.
2. Readers Stay Longer:
People click on blog posts because they want answers.
If they land on your blog and only find a few short sentences, they’ll leave.
But if you write a well-structured, easy-to-read post, they’ll stick around.
And the longer they stay, the more likely they are to trust you.
3. More Words = More Ways to Sell:
Let’s say you’re using your blog to promote a product, a service, or an affiliate link.
A short post gives you only one or two chances to mention it.
A longer post?
You can naturally include your offer multiple times without sounding pushy.
If you’re serious about blogging, writing 1,000 to 2,000 words per post is one of the smartest things you can do.
So, next time you sit down to write, don’t cut corners. Go deeper. Make it count.
P.S:
Blogging is hard.
Writing, editing, SEO... it’s a lot.
If you’re too busy, hiring a blog writer can save time and drive better results.
