20% of the posts that I write take up 80% of the total time I spend writing posts. There could be an average figure (say 3-4 hours?) but that would be misleading.

Besides the length of the post has virtually no correlation to the value and clarity of the ideas expressed.

Just my 2c

Answer

Usually, it takes me about 2-3 hours to write a blog post of 800-1000 words. It includes research, writing, and a bit of editing.

Answer

For a post of that size, I find 3 hours to be ideal. It’s enough to do a good job without feeling rushed.

Answer

I usually spend about 2 hours on a blog post of that length. It’s enough time to get a solid draft and do some quick edits.
