What The Ideal Length Of Everything Online?

What The Ideal Length Of Everything Online?

Have You wondered if anyone is paying attention to how long our post should be on the social media platforms? I mean are we talking to much or not enough?

I'm going to give you some guidance and the fun will be in monitoring your own results. You will win with the guidance provided here.

Going to the source of twitter, the recommendation is keeping your tweets to 100 characters. Twitter says that tweets under 100 characters get a 17% higher engagement rate.

Facebook the ideal length is 40-80 characters is the recommended ideal. This seems very short but less is more, right? Questions on a facebook post get more engagement. That is actually a psychological truth. You have asked a question holding your viewer hostage. The truth is no matter how silly the question is people want to feel they have the answer! Questions engage your viewer at first sight. They may want to leave but they at the least have to see what others have said.

Google Plus has a new lay out. Keep it to 60 Characters and to one line. The trick here is to write a first compelling sentence that will be visible in the post. Personally I find 40-60 characters tough but using questions seems to help me shorten my titles.

Blogging post are differently entirely as far as engagement. Once you get the viewers attention the time frame that he/she will remain on your post has been researched to being about 7 minutes! It reminds me what my social study teacher told our class before we were to write a term paper. Here it is in his words:

"Tell 'em what your going to tell 'em"

then

"Tell 'em"

then

"Tell 'em what you just told 'em"

To me that was a great way of staying focused and keeping it short and direct. That sage advise seems to hold true on our social media platforms.


A 7 min read comes in around 1,600 words.

The above chart covers a few ideas I didn't mention. We all know people have short attention span when it comes to consuming information. There is a psychology to that as well. Its compared to "lifting weights". A person's mind will take so much in and tire of the consumption and walk away. As presenters of information with a guideline of limitation on the information, it sure makes us clarify what it is we want to say.

One final word, don't worry if you go over. In fact if your going to tweet you can tweet a long version and tweet a short version and watch your results. 

To Your Success!

When video marketing came out the big shots were telling you what expensive equipment you needed and the software programs that were needed to do video marketing right. You'll see alot of that going on with podcasting. What you really need to know is just do it and play back your podcast if its noisey then yes upgrade your microphone.

PODCAST SCHOOL

I don't want to be redundant and the information is all here at this link for what you need to know about podcasting.

Click Below:

Podcast School

Remember its still CONTENT.  You're NOT trying to reach everybody. Hopefully you have developed a following from all your previous blogging.

How do you develop a following? Get on numerous social platforms and the secret? Be Social!!! It's alway about the "Liking, Commenting and Sharing"  Don't forget to ASK people to come and hear your podcast and ask them to share it. Send it out to your email list and again ask that they give you feedback and share. Be sure  in your podcast, after you deliver your message, to tell people where they can go to get MORE information! Hopefully you have a website rich of videos, fun test or quizz, the thought is to give people a reason to want to come back to your website ~ Hopefully they bookmark it!

I know many of you are perfectionsit or intimidate to do this but you know what? THROW caution to the wind and just do it. Some of you remember some years back I hosted a training call. OMG! I was so nervous my vioce quivered. After a few weeks of hosting the calls no one knew how terrifying that was for me! Many times my mind wonders off in mid sentence because I have so much I want to get out and I am easily distracted. Guess what? I'm just honest about it! I'll tell you I lost my train of thought and I am switching tracks!
I'm not a name dropper and more then likely when I do a podcast I am not going to be concerned with the physcology of trying to have big names on my podcast. I think many of you will see I write like I speak.

Get busy and get to the podcast school and see you out on the airways!

What Up In The Corner?

Aren't we all looking for something better?  To me, thats what makes life so great! Each day is an opportunity to do something better. If we fall short it's okay! Just have to let go of the mistakes or let go of what didn't work but we have to keep TRYING!

I am excited that many of you are following me from so many places you've met me on the internet and you are at least curious as to what I do, if I am as good as you or that you value my leadership! Personally I value YOU because we do learn from one another! I have yet to meet somone I couldn't learn something from!

I'll soon be having an anniversary of my "Big Move". I lived in Northern Indiana for 29 years of my adult life. Before that my childhood was spent in Ohio. Aug 18th 2013 I boarded the plane to Orlando Florida. The Allied moving truck had a two day head start on me with my now downsized earthly possessions. It was still a week after my arrival before the truck showed up to reunite me with my "stuff". That was an awesome week without everything! The "new" neighbors were very suspicious of me. After all I was coming and going and yet they seen nothing in the way of a person "moving in". I learned later they thought maybe I was a squatter ~ It happens in Orlando.

Since I have gotten to Orlando I have adjusted to many "new" experiences. What I really want to get at here is I put my "Marketing" on hold, I still dabbled. I want you all to know I am BACK! I needed the rest. I could not have made the move had it not been for my online opportunity and its the best feeling in the world when you don't have to job hunt! You already know you have the job as soon as you unpack!

I'm currently grabbing up and researching and talking with others about "PODCASTING" If your upline hasnt told you: PODCASTING is where it is at! Think about it. Wouldn't you rather have this blog post in an audible format so you could walk around the house? Or hear it in the car? Have your clients listen on their time frame?

People want their information FAST and Faster! So as Marketers or People working from home wanting to get the exposure you have to investigate PODCASTING!

Be sure to sign up on the left and enter your email so You don't miss my upcoming Post on PODCASTING! Who knows as I get better you might find my future post via Video or PODCAST Format.

From the heart I thank you today for being  Here     X !!!!!!!!!
