When I first started writing on Medium, I asked myself the same question: Is writing about Medium on Medium worth it?

To be honest, it felt a bit like singing to the choir.

After all, why would someone on Medium need advice about Medium?

But over time, I’ve come to realize there’s more to it than meets the eye.

Let me tell you the truth: writing about Medium on Medium is not just a good idea—it's a smart move, but only if done right.

Here’s why.

The Audience Is Already Here

In my opinion, Medium readers are your people if you’re writing about blogging, content creation, or tips for growing an online presence.

Many writers on Medium are looking to improve their skills or gain more visibility.

So when you share insights about Medium itself—whether it’s how to get more followers, earn from the Partner Program, or craft viral posts—you're tapping into a built-in audience.
