Long Copy - How long is too long?
I'm working on the sales page for my first product (an ebook on a medical treatment).
Since this is a condition I've faced myself, and cured, I am recounting my trials and tribulations with the condition, and am writing quite a bit. I just pasted the draft into word (I've been working in Evernote which has no page or word count), and I am at 3000 words, and 6 pages. I am probably 75% done at this point.
I know the length is a very subjective item, but would love to get some thoughts from folks with more experience than me (which is anyone here!)
Questions:
1. I've heard the advice, it can't be too long, just too boring. I think what I have so far is entertaining, as I am telling a story many can relate to. But, is it going to be too long for a sales page? At this pace, I will be at over 5000 words before I am done.
2. if this is too long, is it better to start trimming now, or should I finish the full story and then go back and trim?
Any constructive feedback is really appreciated! Thanks!
UPDATE: Here is the sales page, feedback appreciated.
