Hello steemians...
This article was written by Hanley Wing, founder of www.Buzzsumo.com. He analyzed the amount of social share on 100 million articles that exist throughout the website. In this research, he took some learning why there are some articles that generate social share in large numbers.
Here are ways that can help you increase the social share of your content:
Long content gets more share than short form.
We all certainly already know how many people are consuming content through their mobile device. It shows that we have to write short and short articles to satisfy their attention is not it?
From the analysis data on the top 10 percent of the most shared articles, this research shows the opposite. On average, long content gets more share than short content.
If you look at the graph below, the longer the content, the more the number of shares, with the word count of 3000-10000 can get the average share amount up to 8859 times. Not surprisingly, there is a lot of short content that has been written. How much short content is there? There are 16 times more content with words that are less than 1000 than content with more than 2000 words.

This research is also supported by an article in the NY Times about the most content being emailed by email. The longer the article, the more people will share it in the email.
The fact is people are happy to share cute cat pictures and memes, but they also want to share what challenges their intellect, that is, long content. It would be better if you spend time writing a long cool article instead of writing a lot of short articles.
Little rival. It should be easier to withstand the rush of short articles.
Primary Key: write an article at least 2000 words.
