RE: The Girls of Steemit - Bullshit Content or Not?
I think that the word count is not an end-all. It needs to fit with your post and your purpose. the 300 to 600 word is a bit outdated. It used to be that Google wouldn't rank you if you have less than 300 words. Now, in the blogging world, the 1500 word count is looked at as the golden goose.
It depends so much on what you want to achieve and what your purpose on this platform is. If you are a poet who writes Haiku - the word count is going to be low and it would be annoying to fluff it up to get to the "magic" number.
There are people who want to read long articles - and other's who do not.
The key is to decide what your goals are and who your audience is or who you want it to be.
Or if your goal is to make $ as fast as you can. Then again, what is the long-term strategy? I think to grow a solid reputation and to build community is the key to long-term success. Look at Papa_Pepper.........
I am here for the long haul. If a post requires more text then I can adjust.
Money is not my primary goal. Having the platform, meeting new writers and bloggers, learning new tips around the homestead, etc. The monetary advantage comes close to dead last for me.

That is gold.
