There’s some debate on this topic, so let’s examine some magical numbers (they’re sexier than you think😋).

The popularity of blogging will continue to increase with the rise of the self-education industry — it will make $121.85 billion by 2025.

Magic numbers to keep in mind when blogging

➡️ 37 seconds is the average time a follower will read your posts (hence Medium’s 30-second threshold for earnings… it’s all sexy science, baby!).

➡️ 73% of peeps skim-read blog posts; only 23% read them word for word.

➡️ 75% of humans wanna read blog posts under 1,000 words.

➡️97% of bloggers use social media to enhance their blog’s exposure.

➡️ Drop in engagement? Keep the read time under 7 minutes.

7 & 9 are magic numbers in Pricing Psychology

It’s proven that the conversion rate is higher for items priced at $99.97 than $100 (pricing psychology is in action everywhere you look 🙈).

Why is blogging so popular in 2024?

Free or affordable education is readily available with the rise of online courses and value-creators/influencers. Therefore, leverage this trend in your content to gift additional value to your readers.

How can you further leverage this trend on Medium?

Knowledge is the most valuable currency, so make some extra cash from what you know.

Gift your knowledge to truth seekers and hungry readers who want to consume new ideas and unique perspectives.

For best results, translate simple or complex subjects into bite-size information that’s easily digestible.

Rinse and repeat the process. Voila!
