What is the Optimum Word Count for Newsletters and Social Media Posts?
Todayโs internet should be optimized for mobile-first. Therefore a lot of the skyscraper technique articles donโt read well on a phone screen. I get bored reading long content on a phone screen. Plus I have old eyes, which doesnโt help.
There is no right answer for the question โHow long should my newsletter post beโ? Following are suggestions, maximums and minimums (if recommended). Best Answer: Optimal Article length - 1,450 words
โA good speech should be like a woman's skirt; long enough to cover the subject and short enough to create interest.โ ~ probably Winston Churchill

See if you can write your posts in the โBloggerโs Word Counter", then copy/paste into your Substack Editor to format, add media, then publish.
Say you have a list of keywords that you are trying to rank for in your blog. This tool shows the top 4 keywords used as well.
Use it to write without distraction. No ads or anything to take away from the task at hand. Itโs rewarding to watch your word count climb as you type.
Create a habit: If you have a daily goal for writing, say 1000 words per day, this lets you know if you are close to being finished.
If youโd like to use this application without the internet you can save the tool as a website (HTML) on your desktop:
Go to:
Right-click and view the page source
Copy and Save page source.
Paste the page source into a note or text file
rename it:
wordcounter.html instead of .txt
save it on your desktop. It is now a local file to use as you wish. ๐
If you are doing a lot of writing (a book) use this larger desktop version of the counter.
