Sure, you can post whatever your heart desires on social media, but if you’re serious about getting engagement, you may want to study this infographic. It shows you exactly what the optimal length is for social media updates.
And not just that, it also shows you the optimal length for domain names, hashtags, blog posts, blog titles, and even subject lines for emails.
You’re welcome.
My key takeaway was this: shorter is better. Every optimal word count for social media shows that the less words you use, the shorter your videos are, the more engagement you will get. That’s a powerful lesson.
If you compare your social media habits to this graphic, how do you score?
