Stop Obsessing About Word Count. It’s the Content That Matters

Although this article will be exactly 150 words, It will deliver an idea for you to think about. Word count doesn’t matter; it's just the quality of the message.

Shortform content has a valuable role for Content writers. It helps us refine ideas and test angles with our content. But since Twitter turned into a dumpster fire, we don’t have a place to refine our messaging. So, I have an idea for you.

Publish short-form content here on Medium.

Find an idea, think of an angle and then write 150 words about it.

See what resonates and then expand on that.

Not every piece of content has to be 1000 words+

I’m Mark Thompson, and I Love Shortform content
