Issue selling articles

    Hey guys.

    I have some articles to sell, but I have this message:
    "Article(s) too short (possibly all individual paragraphs are too small within an article)."

    The article has 488 words. How can I fix this?

    Thanks
    Paul

    I encountered the same thing. I've seen articles with fewer words in the marketplace, so the length isn't the problem. You'll just need to edit the article to ensure each paragraph isn't too small.

    Unfortunately didn't work. I've taken out all the paragraphs and still couldn't save.
    Anyone with the same problem?

    Thanks

    Trust me it should work. I had the same problem and making the paragraphs longer worked.

    In a 488 words text, I have only 8 paragraphs. Been searching the web for some similar issues and couldn't find an answer to this.
    Thanks for any help.

    It's not the number of paragraphs, but the length of the paragraphs that is the problem.

    Thanks again, dcristo.
    I already took out the subtitles for each paragraph, so I came down to only 4 paragraphs.
    Let me brake the article down to numbers:

    1st paragraph - 128 words
    2 - 103 words
    3 - 116 words
    4 - 136

    If you want to send me the article in question privately, I could do some testing with it for you to figure out what the issue is.

    Go ahead and try it now... looks like there was a bug where it was only looking at the first paragraph and not all paragraphs as intended.

    BTW - your "first paragraph" shouldn't be there... it's the title of the article, not the actual article.
