Hundred percent! I am blogging + TikTok purely cos TT is fast and easy. The other thing people need to understand is that in the modern day you need to be a master of media and marketing. Back in the day good writers could just get their articles syndicated and distributed by newspapers. Nowadays you need to do that for yourself online. Most writers and bloggers have no idea about these things and worse, some think they shouldn't have to do it. Build a WEBSITE not just a blog. Build your own ALGORITHM and stop being at the mercy of others. When you have a website you can charge for sponsorships, ads, promotions, affiliate market, partnerships, memberships, or even sell your own physical or digital products. The list is endless and so are the opportunities. While we're all here blogging on Medium and getting the benefits of a seamless CMS, discovery, get to build an email list for free, we're actually spending valuable time giving Medium all our energy instead of building our own Medium so to speak.
