I read a lot of stories on Medium. But, recently, I have noticed that I also skip a lot of stories after clicking on them.
One of the main reasons I do that is when I see long paragraphs.
Most people click on a story mainly because of the intriguing title.
I do so too.
After clicking on the story, I observe the content structure. If they have long paragraphs, I don’t feel like reading them. Sometimes, I read a few lines, and then I stop.
The lesson here is: Don’t write long paragraphs. Instead, learn to structure your content well. It is crucial if you want more reads.
Write at most three sentences in a paragraph.
Readers read with their eyes too. So, use short paragraphs, images, bullet points, numbering, and subheadings in your stories.
