Short ones! There is also a trend in Tiktok, Instagram and Youtube including "Shorts". This is because there are so many platforms and information online that it's easier to get your attention quickly than making you read a long story!

@marianna_nk True. How many words would you say? mines usually at 600-800. I am trying to reduce it, long-form is more natural for me

@cameronscully_ Since my content is educational and informative, focusing on project management and wellness, usually my articles as well are around 550-750 words. I believe it depends on if its educational and will be longer or if its an announcement - presentation of a product - service where it would be shorter. Overall, 600-800 is not bad in my view.

While some mailings are brief and sweet, some are lengthier and contain more information. Which look is your favourite

Seems like so many people prefer short ones, haha, but personally think long ones can be just as important. A quality short newsletter can actually be hard to craft if it is more than an aggregation of news headlines. The longer style gives room for personal credibility and brand building and allows for a deeper connection with readers. Set a cadence and would recommend a blended approach, a mix of short form and long form (less frequent)

@nolan_wang Haha yeah suprised, i usually find the most value through long-form content in my niche. I agree with mixing it up. i have marketing examples which are short-form and then case studies where its more in-depth, so i am sort of catering both sides at the moment.

Short, ideally with small letters because then... the email looks like a short form :)

@busmark_w_nika if its a case study about a business, wont you find more value in longer newsletters?

@cameronscully_ Only if it is something I am really interested in and the text needs to be divided into many paragraphs to make my attention not span.
