Thanks Derek! 💙 😊 I realized that narrative writing style is a sure winner on most platforms 👌! How about creative writing? Does creative writing work on Medium and Substack?
I see here that you mention not starting a blog. I started my blog first, then went to Medium (while continuing the blog), and now I am here on Substack while continuing my bog and Medium. I've thought about stopping my blog and only working on Substack, but I have over 200 articles on there so far and I've been told I should keep it as a library of sorts. What would you suggest to someone in my shoes?
If it’s established keep it going. The main reason I advise not starting one is because no one will find it. It’s much better to write where people are (eg Substack or Medium). Thanks for the question Julene
I can already see some of Nicolas Cole's advice in this post.
Great issue today, Derek.
Looking forward to learning more from your experiences.
Have a good one!
Thanks Alberto
His influence is all over the 450 articles I’ve published!
It's all about adding value. Thanks
Great Post!
I have a question: You write:
"Write where people are. The options are endless. Medium, Quora, X, LinkedIn."
Is there a specific reason you wouldn't recommend Substack as someone's main platform to grow?
Whoops simple oversight.
I’ve just told everyone on Medium this is the place to be https://medium.com/write-a-catalyst/the-best-place-to-write-in-2025-growth-has-never-been-so-easy-dfd3fe561e6b?sk=b9e3fab6469062b675b1b0b5da61502d
Which social media platform did you choose to promote your write ups?
I’ve been on Medium 24 months and Substack 6 months
Thanks Derek - some great tips! Love the idea of monthly micro-skill building - to keep learning is always the best advice!
