Why I’m Quitting Medium
It’s not about the money…
Two weeks ago, I wrote a post saying I’d quit LinkedIn. Now the same is true for Medium, and similar reasons. Here’s the truth on why I won’t dedicate my time to this platform anymore.
I suppose many Medium readers and writers might not know a huge amount about LinkedIn, and vice versa.
My experience of daily posting on LinkedIn started around three years ago when I became more serious about my coaching business. In that time, I amassed 25,000 followers and garnered around 3 million impressions on my writing.
On Medium, I began publishing in late 2021. Though my articles have slowed down, I published over 100 pieces of fiction, and articles discussing language, literature, and life.
It was a wild ride, but now it’s time to leave the theme park.
Reasons I Quit Posting on Medium
Here they are, in no particular order:
1. I went from coach to ghostwriter.
2024 threw up an unexpected career change. Since 2018, I’ve been a coach, moving from teaching English as a foreign language to working with groups of multilingual pro writers looking for better opportunities.
