I created a second Medium

PrisilaBS

I would write whatever came to mind, some similar to what you read on this blog content marketing, online income, audience building, etc. , and others very different; cultural criticism, opinion, creative nonfiction, and more. Recently May , to be exact  account. I did it to separate my passion for the different types of writing I enjoy, but also to understand how a brand new Medium user may benefit from the platform in . Now, let s talk about how Medium works and how to get started on this platform. Writing on Medium vs. Blog on WordPress There was a time, a few years ago, when I d yell say WordPress without a second thought, but this is , and like all things, blogging has also evolved.

Now it s more of a personal choice. There s the good old fashioned blogging photo editing servies with [preferably] WordPress, there s Medium, and there s blogging via newsletters Substack, anyone? , to name a few. That said, I m biased and would say WordPress is still the best way to blog if you want to create a business and brand that is independent of platform shenanigans and algorithmic rollercoasters. Pretty much all popular successful writers on Medium also have their own websites whether on WordPress or some other platform.



That should tell you not to trust any one platform too much, especially when you do not own it. You don t own Medium. You cannot control how Medium behaves today or how it ll behave a few months from now. Those of us who ve been on the platform long enough know the pain of weathering its many iterations of the infamous algorithm. But not just that, Medium can and has in the past , at any time, change.
