How Long Do You Take to Write a Blog Post?
I’m trying to write a blog post as quickly as I can. As a matter of fact, I’m actually timing this blog post to see how fast I can write a 200 to 300-word blog post. I am trying to see if I can write this in under 15 minutes, or 10 minutes if that is possible at all.
Some people say that if you are taking an hour to write a blog post, you are taking too long. But you also need to include other things like grammar and spell check when writing a blog post. You will also need to add pictures wherever necessary or add links to certain websites within your post to guide your readers. As such, it may actually take a longer time.
So far, I have taken about 4 minutes to write the first two paragraphs. All in all, it would mean that I can actually write a blog post within 10 minutes. But is it wise to do so? Here’s what I think. I think that if you have planned what you intend to write before hand, taking that amount of time is reasonable, depending on how fast you can type, without making mistakes.
As for me, if the topic is very interesting to me and I have a lot of things to say or share with my readers, there is a better chance that I can write a blog post in the shortest amount of time possible. But if you are the kind of person who is a perfectionist, you will find that writing a blog post in record time will just stress you out, since you woul dneed to craft your words very carefully, to make sure that everything is prim and proper. I’m not a perfectionist, but I do believe that I do write well.
To conclude, I took 9 minutes to write this piece. Great work!
