In my opinion, there is no better or worse blogging platform. There is only better or worse content because it does not matter which platform you use. If your content does not offer value and mostly solves problems. Then I doubt any blogging platform will work for you.
It’s not about the platform, it’s about the quality of your content. But, seeing that we’re about to discuss one of my favorite topics, count me in. Because I have been exploring Quora and Medium for a while now. In fact, I am working on a particular Quora and Medium content marketing strategy as we speak.
Because deciding between Quora or Medium is nearly impossible once you get to know your way around these two platforms. Therefore, I decided not to choose, but rather to combine the two platforms. After all, combining them means access to just south of 1 billion visitors per month!
Quora and Medium is about a whole lot more than just answering questions and publishing articles. If you’re just sticking with those two options, then you are sadly losing out on a lot of traffic! That is traffic to any URL, including affiliate offers, by the way.
But, please, you NEVER, under any circumstances share affiliate links anywhere. There are ways to do that, and there are rules to abide by. Affiliate marketing is a lot of work, it is not as “easy” as is often suggested. But that is a topic and strategies I have covered many times.
With Quora, you have Quora Spaces. Whereas with Medium, you have Medium Publications. Truth be told, these two bear a striking resemblance. In a nutshell, with Quora spaces, you share (or schedule) other people’s answers.
With Medium Publications, you share both your own publications and those of writers writing for your publication. Therefore, besides answering questions and publishing articles. You also want to launch your own Quora Spaces and Medium Publications.
But, with Medium, you also want to get approved to write for other established publishers. Below is a list of 10 publishers on Medium I find really worth it to write for. Once your content starts getting featured on other publications, the increase in response will knock your socks off!
Getting to know your way around Quora Spaces and Medium Publications, however, is quite a bit of work. It is not something you want to rush, because if you make one wrong move (especially targeting) then you will sadly be wasting your time.
Your Quora Space Title and Medium Publication Title makes up the slug on the URL. You must choose a title that best describes your content in 2 to 3 words. Those will also be your “target keywords”. Although with any title, I strongly advise you avoid using “English stop words”.
That’s what I thought the frst time I read about that, what the heck is “English stop words”? Just do a search in your browser for “English stop words”, and access a rather long list. For instance, starting your title with “The” might not be such a good idea.
Moving on, I cannot leave you with a list of great publications to write for on Medium. Without also giving you a list of 10 Quora Spaces you might want to check out.
In conclusion, why must you avoid English stop words in titles. Any title, from Blogging to Facebook Groups. From Quora Spaces to Medium Publications. Your title determines where your site ends up in search engines!
In a nutshell, English stop words are basically pronouns and prepositions. These words can delay the potential that your target keywords, and ultimately your site (Website, Quora Space, Medium Publication, Blog, FB Group, FB Page, etc.) title might have in search queries.
