If you start a blog it can last up to six months until Google will filter out your blog’s content. I’ve been in the sandbox period when I used to be a travel blogger.

It’s different writing on Medium. I don’t need to worry about getting stuck.

One of my first and most successful articles in the beginning, shows the power and high authority of the top brand Medium:

Revenge Bedtime Procrastination — Do You Stay Up Late To Have A Moment For Yourself?

It’s a provocative headline that gets you thinking: What’s this?

I read a post by Arianna Huffington on LinkedIn and immediately felt I had to write about this phenomenon, first covered by Glamour.

As you can see below, 52% of the traffic came externally. 67 referrals via Google.
