Writing on Medium and getting curated or published in the popular publication is way better. You can literally make thousands of dollars, getting thousands of followers, and make yourself a brand writer on a topic. But, for any writer, even with those who have more than 100,000 followers sometimes find it difficult to get more readers.

Maybe or maybe not you are getting good engagement on your stories but as a writer, marketing your content can help you get ranked, making more money, promoting your brand, and what else not. Writing about your favorite topic on a different platform has many advantages such as;

  1. Can promote your brand. Writing about a single topic can make you an authority figure in that topic.
  2. Getting more followers on your Medium account. Writing quality content can drive people to learn more about a topic they are interested in.
  3. You can build yourself a following on other platforms and increase your income streams.
