Default Quality or Quantity Blog

People like to read short posts, preferable with lists or bullets. However, am planning a blog soon, but my major concern is that the niche i'm focusing on and the posts i've brainstormed, they will be length but with superb quality.

Will people read lengthy posts if the blog is new or just a short and interesting one?

Quality rules over quantity. Fact.

If it's interesting or informative or one of my favorites, I'll read it
Quality is still best for me, doesn't matter how long or short the post is.

What you need to do is to break it down into readable chunks with small paragraphs, and sub headings along the way. OR you could break it down into part1 part 2 etc.

I originally started writing a blog post about how to carry out seo. I started at keyword research, and by the time I finished, it was 30 pages of a word document

Only 43%? I expected better from you and at least 50%.

On a serious not though, OWG has just provided an excellent tip that can be used across multiple platforms, be it blogging or static content.

Breaking things up into bite sized chunks can bring back positive traffic from others feedback.

Also, when I ran these 'part 1, part 2 type posts, the subscription rate shot up!
