Don’t Be Stupid — Post Your Words on More Than One Platform
Make the content creation platforms compete for us (the writers)
You can write on Medium! You can write on Quora! You can write on LinkedIn! On WordPress! On Vocal! On Newsbreak! On Revue! And on Substaaaaaaaack!
YOU CAN WRITE ON ALL THE THINGS!
YAAY!!!
Ahem… Sorry, let me try that again.
Some people claim it’s the Golden age for writers — the age in which there are more places where you can write than ever before. But that’s sort of like saying it’s the Golden age for ass wipers because there are more baby butts than ever before.
It’s not the fact that you can write on countless online platforms that makes this an exciting time full of opportunities. After all, you only have so much time in a day. It’s the fact that you can write once and then publish on countless platforms. It’s like wiping once and getting all butts clean. That’s the crucial point. You can repurpose and republish everywhere to increase your chances that your stories will take off somewhere.
It’s like buying one lottery ticket and then being able to claim the jackpot in every country where your numbers happen to come up.
