Improving Medium
Why we need more “pure readers”
I used to have my own business. Sometimes people would give me advice on how to run that business. Most of it was not good because they were not seeing the big picture like I was seeing.
I am giving Medium some advice. I don’t have the big picture.
When reading this article, keep in mind that I really appreciate Medium. It has been the best forum for me to get my ideas out of my head and into the world. While results are not what I wanted, being “out there” has been a great cathartic release for me.
My new Medium strategy
After the November 5 election, I changed my Medium strategy. I was writing more directly to my alternative democracy. I thought the second term of Donald Trump would generate more interest in this idea. I was wrong. My Medium traction was cut by 75% with direct writing. The world wants the current system to fix itself, which I’m sure will not happen.
My new viral article
Nonetheless, I published an article on March 6 that became my best earner since I joined Medium six years ago.
