  The blog post length changes with niche.  Tech niche have the smallest post more than any other niche and blogging have the longest post more than any other niche.

What is the Ideal Blog Post Length?

Mainly blog post length is of two types short and long. It totally depends on you which one you prefer so before choosing the right one for you read the pros and cons of both below.

Short Posts – Blog Post Length

These posts are less detailed and should contain words between 400 and 1000. You don't have to explain everything in this post. Write these posts when you don't know much about the topic or don't want to write a long one (It's your decision). You can write short posts regularly as they are not time consuming and are easy to write. They are engaging and normally readers don't skim these type of posts as the content is less and attractive as compared to long posts.

Long Posts – Blog Post Length

These posts are detailed and should contain words more than 1000.You have to research every aspect of your topic to write these posts, so you cannot write long posts regularly and they consume much more time than short posts. People will always skim long posts as they are always in a hurry but I don't know why these type of posts get much more shares on social network than short ones. They also get popular on social bookmarking sites like Digg, StumbleUpon.

Which one is for you?

Both short posts and long posts have their own pros and cons so, it doesn't matter which one you choose, your choice must satisfy you.
