That’s really a great idea. I have a blog and I never thought this idea before. Now at least I can create few article from my blog itself.

Thanks a lot for sharing…

Awesome article, with precise relevance to my ongoing business development plans to produce articles ready for submissions and other venues, including ezines.

Keep it up, and have a great weekend!!

Hi Louis,

I am less strict on my word count requirements for my blog posts–I tend to write longer blog posts because there are not the publisher restrictions that there are with articles. So, I tackle a topic in a blog post and just write til I’m done.

With the articles, I use a word count limit. I experiment with different lengths, sometimes 700-800 words, and other times shorter in the 400-700 range. It just depends and I do this to 1) switch things up for myself so I don’t get bored, and 2) to see which type of posts are more popular for certain topics.

I use the blog post as an outline for the article–usually the blog post is longer, as I tend to write ‘How To’ type content.

But, I had a question Steve. How long should the blog post be as compared to the Article. I was doing both about the same. But, whether article or blog post I prefer short and to the point. 350 to 500.

Whats your thought?

Hi Louis–yes, the idea is to keep the content on your own site unique. Use the blog posts as an outline for the article, so that your article is not a copy of your blog post.
