4 Key Reasons Why Self-Publishing is a Great Strategy

Then why am I still on the fence?

My first article on Medium was self-published. It sat by its lonesome gathering dust until I submitted it to a pub.

The difference, though minor, was instantly noticeable in terms of views and engagement.

I self-published a few times when articles such as this one 👇 didn’t seem a good fit for any of the pubs I was a writer for.

The views were decent— comparable to what I get when I publish with pubs.

4 benefits of self-publishing

🎈Flexibility: Publish whenever without depending on the whims of pub editors

🎈New readers: Reach an audience beyond a pub’s followers

🎈Control: You’re the sole editor and can add as many pretty links as you want.

🎈Your post can be scooped up by Humans Parts & Zora (large Medium pubs).
