Long-Form Blog Posts: Advantages & Drawbacks
It's alright to write and publish a blog post that is less than 1000 words. However, if you want your visitors to stay on the page longer (and read more), then long-form blogging should be considered as an option. Longer posts can help increase leads and conversions by 3x-30x times because these types of articles provide value for many keywords in search engines like Google.

With Long-Form Blog Posts & Go Viral!
"
"The returns and results from using long-form content strategically can be huge."
Long-form content (e.g. 'ultimate guides' blog posts) is "resource-intensive. It is usually not quick to produce and often requires a significant investment of time and resources. However, the returns and results from using long-form content strategically can be huge."

"How-to'' blog posts are not the best, nor the only blog content idea you should focus on.
Did you know that too many bloggers, brands and blogs strive for this format, while overlooking the other 12 ideas shared herein?
Most of these are at least 2k words, while some exceed up to 18k words! That's one of the reasons why they rank, and become viral. ;)
TIP: Blogging is not easy, it needs to be ultra-strategic;
My belief is that all businesses should have a long-term content vision, not a mere content calendar and some writers/a content team.
Are you ready to educate your target market and leverage blogging radically differently than competitors, and even have your content go viral? Let's dive in!
