Today’s Helpful Byte: Size Matters – The Ideal Length of Everything Online

I’m an engineer – so I like accuracy and precision where possible and am typically a “rule follower.”

But I’ve also learned over time that life is not always black and white. There isn’t always a “right” answer to most questions in life – and we are often asking the wrong question.

What about social media posts online – what is the ideal blog length, post length, etc?

“Every piece of content should be as long or short as it needs to be to convey the message, and no longer.” –SumAll and Buffer

So, content is still QUEEN!

Now, check out these highlights from Impact, SumAll and Buffer then check out the full infographic below (source: bufferapp.com):

  • the ideal word count for a LinkedIn post should be 25 words
  • it should take 6 minutes to view a SlideShare
  • a domain name should have 8 characters
  • Tweets should be between 71-100 characters
  • Hashtags should only be 6 characters long
