If you\u2019re intimidated by writing any piece of content longer than 1,000 words, don\u2019t be.<\/p>\n

Long-form content can be just as straightforward as dashing off a 500-word piece.<\/p>\n

It will take you slightly longer to do it, but there are huge benefits to reap from spending time creating long-form pieces.<\/p>\n

For one thing, longer content tends to perform better than short content. It earns more backlinks<\/a> and is most likely to appear on Google\u2019s first page.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Plus, bloggers<\/a> continually report that longer content formats such as guides and ebooks are most effective. The ones who write ultra long-form posts (3,000+ words) are 2.5x more likely<\/strong> to say their results are strong vs. bloggers who write shorter posts of 1,500 words or less.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, writing long-form content that gets results is a skill, and once you learn, you can leverage it to meet your content marketing goals<\/a>.<\/p>\n
