Why I Still Prefer Medium Over Other Platforms
blogging is a goldmine
Written content is the most powerful medium
So many platforms to choose from! They are free and only take a few minutes to start your journey. All you need is an email ID and that’s it!
I see people trying their hands at making videos (I have started this too) for YouTube. some like to make reels for Instagram and TikTok. Some enjoy making audio like in the case of Podcast.
Do you see how many formats are available?
I use text to deliver my content on Medium.
for YouTube I create videos.
Then do not forget that there is an audio version where you don’t have to show your face ever!
- Text
- Audio
- Video
Which one you think is powerful?
These options look attractive though but is it a more powerful tool compared to writing?
Absolutely not!
Why?
Because written words have your audience’s undivided attention.
And this is what we need. The longer the audience stays, the more chance of making money. This works everywhere. That’s the reason why creators prefer longer content more compared to shorter versions.
I still prefer long-form content whether you consider blogging or YouTube.
Because of long-form written content, I get a good audience retention rate.
This isn’t true of the other media Podcasts. Videos. Audiobooks.
People can do these while:
➔ Exercising
➔ Washing dishes
➔ Having a conversation
But when it comes to writing, this absolutely is not possible.
Take advantage. Write more.
See you soon!
