Medium is the best publishing platform online, there is a lot of traffic on it but you might want to have your own blog as well.

Writing posts on your blog is a lot of efforts and also very worth it since you own it! I strongly recommend you to have a self-hosted blog.

This one you are reading now is a self-hosted blog, you can read my guide on how to have a successful blog here.

The reasons why you need to have a blog on a cool domain on the internet are many. But if you publish content on Medium as well you could potentially bring in a lot of extra free traffic. This is a very powerful content marketing technique.

The problem is that if you write an article on your blog and then copy and paste it or even re-write it a bit on Medium it will be considered as a duplicate content.

If Google finds out that you have duplicate content, your site will face serious problems and your site might not rank and it can get penalized by Google.

The first thing that you need to do in order to be able to post something on Medium is to create an account.

 

MAKE AN ACCOUNT NOW

 

Once you have created an account, complete your profile and fill in all the options in your settings tab.

I strongly suggest that you create a publication section on your profile.

This is like having your own blog where people can subscribe too. You can even modify the menu of that page.

Medium have by default an ‘Import story‘ feature that will add a canonical tag to the post you are importing to Medium.

A canonical tag gives Google directions on what pages to crawl and show in the Search results.

Adding a canonical tag on your Medium articles is like  saying that the original content is on your blog at that specific URL.

“hey Google, this is just a copy and paste, please do not consider it and crawl the one I am linking in the canonical tag.”

You will not get organic traffic from Google then but still you will get organic traffic from people searching for articles on Medium.

In the video below there are the steps on how to publish on Medium the correct way.

If you are wondering how medium works, it is pretty simple. You can create a profile and a publication section and even medium series.

I don’t use a lot the medium series but actually, those are sending notifications to your subscribers each time you post.

I really like a lot to post my content on Medium as well from all the various websites I have.

I  always wanted to post my stuff also on Medium but I was always scared of the Medium SEO point of view and duplicate content.

If you are using this feature you don’t need to be scared of the Medium SEO because the SEO will come from your post that should be already SEO optimized.
