What I Get from Quora that I Don’t Get from Medium
Why is that I wonder
I started writing on Medium in August 2021. My views now total 153. I am not sure how Medium calculates these figures because I had seen over 200 views at one time but now, they continue to decrease. How exactly do you lose views?
I started writing on Quora on Sept. 25, 2022, fourteen days ago. I have 1000+ views.
I find I like writing on Quora because there is more interaction between readers. Not only that but your audience is there asking questions. You answer the questions that are in your field of knowledge. You get to grow your audience as you go.
My numbers have not crossed over into followers or paid subscriptions but that hasn’t happened on Medium either. On Quora, I have people requesting I answer their questions every day. I feel as though they are interested in what I have to say.
On Medium, I feel as though nobody gives a damn about what I write. Well, maybe a few, but not enough. At this rate, I might make some real money in 2 or 3 years.
It has gotten better since publishing in Reciprocal. I have received lots more claps and responses.
But I started publishing in Reciprocal exactly one week before writing on Quora and I only have 65 views on Medium compared to 1000+ on Quora.
I am not giving up on Medium, not yet anyway. For now, I will do both. But it is so much harder to get views, let alone readers on Medium.
But enough about me here are two more Reciprocal writers you might enjoy.
Susie Kearley writes about when reciprocity is enough in this article. Here is the link to her story.
I also recommend reading stories by Bev G. I enjoyed her story about reciprocity and followers. Here is the link to that story.
Thank you for reading.
