INTERNET MARKETING

I've recently been spending lots of time on medium.com. Before I go to sleep I browse there and always find at least an article or two worth a read from random collections - usually promoted to the front page.

For the uninitiated, this is what medium.com is about:

Medium is a new place on the Internet where people share ideas and stories that are longer than 140 characters and not just for friends. It's designed for little stories that make your day better and manifestos that change the world. It's used by everyone from professional journalists to amateur cooks. It's simple, beautiful, collaborative, and it helps you find the right audience for whatever you have to say.

For the authors among you, if you haven't already, you might consider signing up and writing - for the love of writing - because with the aid of medium's algorithm, you might get quite an audience, which may help you get a lot of business - if that's what you are after - in the long run.

Through a combination of algorithmic and editorial curation, posts on Medium get spread around based on interest and engagement. Some get hundreds of thousands of readers -- and not because they were written by famous people. Medium is not about who you are or whom you know, but about what you have to say.

Here are some posts I found today that I read and found interesting:
https://medium.com/lessons-learned/5ef5adcd05f8
https://medium.com/failure-inc/d1a9592d00b2
https://medium.com/on-startups/968ebef44a56
https://medium.com/medium-long/b695860cb6d6
https://medium.com/best-thing-i-foun...ay/be8b2dc0677

Does anyone else read on medium.com and do you have articles to share?

No ... because I'd never heard of it. But I have now, and am most grateful to you for mentioning it here - it looks really interesting.

John, you know, I cherry-pick what I bookmark on my browser.
This is the second bookmarked item under my 'Good Reads' bookmark folder.
