Could Substack take Medium’s place?

In the last few days I took some time to take a look at Substack, and man let me tell you something, the platform is promising.

With a design that is not very interactive at first sight, since those who encounter it at first, can only check a column with the 50 most popular posts and two other cells, where one shows a column containing the 25 best-paid posts, and a cell showing a column containing the other 25 best unpaid posts; until you decide to click on the button ¨Publish on Substack.¨

The Publish to Substack Button

After you click the publish button on Substack, this is where you start interacting with the platform. An amazing presentation, I can say that seductive, the way they do marketing for those who are arriving for the first time if he is looking for a platform that pays and has been sizzling with a blog for years, he stops spending money to start to write in Substack.

But what is this section of Substack?

In a clearer and more basic language, Substack is a publishing platform for email newsletters, for which you can charge for published content. And lately this is becoming a big trend for top and beginner writers worldwide. The platform is growing so much that today in the freelancing world among writers, you only talked about Medium, Substack and Ghost, but Substack is becoming a very popular trend.

Just to give you an idea about Substack, once registered on the platform, you write the content, be it informative or educational, readers pay to access your written content and everyone leaves happy. For example everything you send to your subscribers is also published on your website; in this case in your Substack publication (you.substack.com).

But could Substack really take Medium’s place?

So, it depends on how the platforms are considering their efforts and their relationships with content creators. On the one hand, in order to be a successful writer on Medium, you need to focus on what you write, improve your content, attract and win followers and readers, use good strategies so that the Medium algorithm recognizes that you are standing out so that you are more recommended in Medium feeds. At Substack, you pay for a package, write a relevant topic, and whoever wants to read your post has to pay for a reading, and if you can attract and win him, he becomes a paid follower and every month you have an income from him, and the greater your followers as a paid member, the more your revenue.

As you can see, there is a high probability that some will follow the second alternative, in this case Substack. In my opinion if you want to do two different things, you can try your luck on Substack, but don’t leave Medium, and make both platforms two places for you to write.

Ending the suspense

There are several reasons why Substack is unable to take Medium’s place. I did some SEO tests on the content compared to Medium’s search engine, and Medium simply crushed Substack.

Check out the images below about a post by a popular Substack writer, and a post from me here on Medium, on Google’s search engine.

The big truth is that Substack has little chance of taking Medium’s place. First, because both platforms are totally different, although they look the same, between the way of writing and the payment method. Well, my dear, Substack seems to have had the same idea as Medium, they also pay via Stripe, and with that many interested parties can get away at first, and second it seems that Substack has complicated fees, starting with 10% of the revenue.

Knowing that Medium charges fees depending on your location, some are fees that are not felt, some may give up Substack.

Whether or not Substack is growing, however, Medium is a platform for writers of all kinds, not everyone who is on Medium, they are writing for money, and that makes the total difference between the two platforms, something that on Substack may seem almost impossible.

To complete

For me, there is still no well-equipped platform capable of downloading Medium, because the founder of Medium, was the co-founder of Blogger and Blogger today is Google’s largest traffic positioner in the world on the internet, and this relationship, makes with the things you search on Google, find on Medium, and some things you write on Medium, the biggest traffic comes from Google.

And do you already know the platform? What do you think?
