So what is the best size for an article that you can use to market your business?
Is it really important to have a very lengthy article? Will your clients only hire you if your article is longer than someone’s PhD dissertation? Will your clients actually read an entire article if it is over 10 pages in length?

It is not extremely important to have a very lengthy article. Of course, a very short article, such as 2-3 paragraphs will not do. In fact, many article directories have minimums when it comes to article length, and they will not post your article if it is too short.

However, it is also not good to have a very long article. While you may have a lot of knowledge to share, a very long article is too much for your readers to read. If you started writing articles and you have too much material for one article, split the material, write two articles and get double the exposure :)

So what size should your article be? A page to a page to a page and a half is best. Some article directories do not accept articles that are under 500 words, so you want to be a bit above that.
