Here’s the top outtakes:

· Copy length is dictated by what you need to write to best achieve your goal.

· Hence, there is no right answer for everyone, every business, and so on.

· You need to follow two rules:

 2. Test your copy length in your market.

·  That’s it, just follow the two rules and you’ll be smooth sailing. Oh and ignore the people who try to put a hard rule on this for everyone, because really every business, including yours, is unique!

Then, go forth and use that copy length and ignore everyone else that prescribes a certain copy length for all businesses on all channels!
