What? Another great post from Hubspot? Who could have known. Anyway thank you for this, great points to concentrate on. I wonder what the relevance of images within posts is. Is there any data on whether a post with a graphic will be more successful than one without?
Thanks,
Jon
Well said Kipp... agree. Re length of post also agree, provided that the content has been laid out in an easily digestible way. Often writers for the web are writing in a user unfriendly way. If writing a long post - do break it up - ensure there are headers, sub headers, bullet points. Short sentences and that paragraphs really don't run to more than 4/5 lines. If you make the content user friendly to read online - and you're writing in a compelling way - then length really isn't an issue.
In regards to length, one of my high school English teachers employed what she called the "mini-skirt rule," which was: make sure you have enough to cover the topic, but keep it short enough to stay interesting! More people should keep that in mind, or they will fall victim to the perils of tl;dr.
i believe an image to a post is very important in our ADD society. case in point, would anybody read about the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest? plus, it makes the post more intriguing to visually demonstrate what the post is regarding.
be
the expert on your topic? hmmm...that can get a little scary...
agreed Jim! and
minis create a lot of attention...
I, too, like Jim Wells' "mini-skirt rule!" I wrote it down to keep in mind/use it in the future. Excellent example of use of metaphor to create a visual (if a bit distracting!) image. Using pithy visual word pictures can really help audiences/readers remember your key points. Thanks Jim!
Love this post! Thank you! Size doesn't always matter. Perfection isn't the key. Great stuff.
Love the mini! You guys might also appreciate Taylor Mali's poem, "The the Impotence of Proofreading"
I agree about communication over perfection, but a good proofread never hurts. Here's the end of Mali's poem:
So do yourself a flavor and follow these two Pisces of advice:
One: There is no prostitute for careful editing.
And three: When it comes to proofreading,
the red penis your friend.

I am so impressed with HubSpot that I just became a subscriber. I can't wait to get started with real, effective inbound marketing. Great advice about what good blogging practices are and are not.
I've been writing the B2B marketing blog Fearless Competitor (http://www.fearlesscompetitor.net) for well over 5 years. Many consider me to be one of the best. But you share some good tips too.

When we read articles from great bloggers like you we get the real idea, but for some reasons you guys don't tell the readers that it will take time to grasp these tactics.
Most guys advertise income from internet as passive source of income, may be thats why.
Any way this article is very helpful.
When i publish my blog post, i will go to each and every social bookmarking websites like digg, reddit, facebook, twitter and still many more to just submit my post. It was very hard to get at least 25 backlinks for each of my post. after along time i have found a good backlinks submitting tool. that is only wire. this tool can create forty plus automatic free backlinks when you publish your new article in your blog or website. Hold on this tool lets you post free upto 300 submissions as on now..but if your are more porfessional then hope you need to go on their paid service which is upto 1000+ submissions.hit this link www(dot)onlywire(dot)com
I blog only on something i am passionate about because the rest can follow. Having a detailed plan on where you want to go is certainly very important but it all starts on blogging about something you love.
Hmm, the 'mini skirt' rule? Lol, great advice.
Usefulness is good, but entertaining is better. Both together is what makes for great blog posts.
Thanks for another great article. As a new business owner and blogger this article is really going to help get me going in the right direction. Also used your blog grader...have a long way to go!
Simple but to the point. Great post.
