The blogging game has changed recently. IYKYK.

According to Orbit Media’s 12th Annual Blogger Survey, the average post is now 1,333 words—shorter than in previous years—and most creators publish just two to four times per month.

Time per post has also shrunk to about three and a half hours. Nearly all marketers now use AI in some way, though few trust it for full automation.

The best blogs are balancing machine speed with human creativity (not easy). While only 21% of marketers call their blog’s impact “strong,” four habits stand out:

1. Writing long-form content (2,000+ words)
2. Using multiple visuals (7+ images, charts, or video)
3. Partnering with influencers
4. Tracking performance on every post

If you have no time (or skill) for fiddling with Figma, you can mock up a quick TikTok comment with this TikTok Comment Generator.*

Add the image(s) to your next short-form video or boost the production value of your social strategy deck.

*Doesn’t actually generate real comments on your TikTok. You still gotta do that part. 😉

The New Berlin Public Library in Wisconsin wins Instagram for bending over backward in a viral video.

Then, the punchline—”You can’t trust everybody, but you can trust the New Berlin Public Library”—really hits… the floor.

It’s racked up nearly 900,000 likes and thousands of comments. To quote a commenter, “And just like that, I’m following a library 2,000 miles away.”
