One of my jobs as your Content Creation & Content Marketing Coach is to keep up with the very best places to publish your content.

The places that are going to get the best results for your efforts.

A little history

There was a time when all you had to do was publish an article on EzineArticles once or twice a week to get good steady traffic. Do it every day and you were golden. Those days are no more.

Then there was LinkedIn Publishing. Potential that really didn’t go much of anywhere.

And then…

And then Medium came along. Growing since it’s start in 2012, here’s the big benefits Medium offers you:

  • An audience of millions eager for your content
  • The ability to publish articles, podcasts, and videos
  • Include audio, video, and graphics in your articles
  • Link to your other articles on Medium, opt-in pages, even products.
  • And oh yeah: Medium pays you based on the length of time readers spend on your content.

  1. Publish your content on your Medium profile: Begin here. Each piece of content published on your Medium platform becomes another residual income source.
  2. General Publications: Medium has many publications. Think of them as magazines. There are general magazines that reach thousands on general topics. An example is “Illumination”
