What is the minimum word count that a WSO should be?

I think its possible to share immense value in a short paper that is only like four or five thousand words long. Are these types of WSO's permissible or do they all have to be ebook length (over 20 pages)?

    WSO's are approved or not approved. If it's approved, you did good!

    As for the length, or lack thereof, if you simply put "click here", (and they happen to approve it),
    but no one clicks or responds, then you can edit it and make it longer.

    if you write a book instead of an ad, (and they approve it),
    but no one clicks or responds, then you can edit it and make it shorter.

    In the end, it's your ad, and you have to decide how much, or how little info you need to give
    in order to get your point across.

    I've seen some doozy's in the WSO section.

    Too long,..... too short,....... half English......

    Here are more details: I have not prepared an ebook or essay yet, but I would like to sell essays that are approx 4000 words a piece.

    Do people ever sell short essays in the WSO room?

    Oh, my bad!

    Thought you were talking about the length of your WSO "ad" itself,

    and not about your product.

    Short essays you say? Well some may refer to shorter eBooks as a "report".

    Call them reports, and you will be able to get away with it amongst the community.

    Or you might even call them essays if you choose to. After all, It's "your" product.

    The value is in the content, not the length.

    Depends on the content. I've bought products that were only 10 pages but were great value for the money. I've also bought products that were 100 pages that were a waste of money. If your going with the short reports, just make sure the content is quality information.

    Nice! I always thought short and jam packed was a lot better than long and fluffy, especially in the age of "information overload".

    Focus on delivering high quality content. Usually the topic of the content will determine how long it should be. The most important thing is to make sure you deliver on every promise you make in the sales letter.

    It definitely is...

    However, you can even go much shorter than that.

    How many words / characters you use is up to you.

    I've always stuck with short and to the point reports...

    Double spacing, and using short choppy sentences like you see now.

    At the end of the day...

    It's up to the customer to decide if the info is valuable.

    Imo instead of focusing on length, focus on providing quality. I'd personally rather see a product short but good quality than a long one that has lots of filler
