Hello and welcome to the Fizzle show.

All right.

This is the Fizzle show where every Friday we publish another conversation about the art and science of supporting yourself, doing something that you care about.

In this episode, should bloggers be using Medium? That very popular website, Medium.com.

Listen, as bloggers, we want to get as many people interacting with our content as possible.

And more than that, we want them to become fans,

to live their lives in relationship with us.

Well, recently, we made a guide to promoting your blog,

which talks about syndicating your blog posts.

This is one of the ways that you can get more people to read your stuff,

is you syndicate them.

That is, you publish these

existing posts to different websites like Huffington Post or Medium. Okay? So Medium has become

extremely popular in some circles in the last few years and it can be a great place to syndicate

your blog posts. Why? Because hundreds of thousands of people could come to know about your work. But

if you use Medium, are you shooting yourself in the foot? Because maybe people just won't

come back to your website and you really need that. But if you use Medium, are you kind of shooting

yourself in the foot because it simply doesn't bring enough people into a strong

direct relationship with you. They don't come back to your site. Well, that's exactly what we get

into today. All right, before we get into that, in case you aren't familiar with what we do here

at fizzle.co, we make courses that help creatives, freelancers, and entrepreneurs build a business

that can thrive instead of fizzle out.
