Each platform has an optimal content length:
Telegram post — 200-500 words (1-2 min)
Blog article — 1000-2000 words (5-8 min)
Long-form — 3000-5000 words (15-20 min)
Research shows that articles with a reading time of about 7 minutes get maximum engagement.
If an article exceeds 10 minutes of reading time, break it into a series. Each part should be self-contained.
Subheadings every 300-400 words help readers navigate and maintain interest.
