Should You Start Your Own Blog or Should You Write on Medium?
Blogs are dead, right?
That is what I keep hearing about blogs. People keep saying that blogs are dead. That the blog era is far behind us and that now, everything is about social media and YouTube, and that Podcast might be the only format to do a comeback.
But the problem is: maybe you want to share your passion and your knowledge, and maybe you’re not really a video person. Maybe you feel unnatural in front of a camera. Maybe the content that you are planning on making cannot really be shared on regular social media sites such as Instagram or Twitter (are people still using Facebook anyway?). Or maybe you are just an awesome writer and so, writing your own blog would be the format that makes the most sense?
So naturally, you started doing research on blogs: what’s the best blogging platform? How to set up Wordpress? How to buy a domain? Is Squarespace worth it? Is Wix better than Squarespace? Is Wordpress free? might be some Google queries that you have actually searched for in the past. And you are finding answers to your questions. But most articles answering these questions are old. They have been published years ago, when blogging was still highly popular and when blogging was still an attractive activity to internet users.
