Medium is easy to use. It is easy to add highlights and emphasis in paragraphs. It is easy to add images and videos anywhere in your articles. It makes article writing fun and easy to share. Other products were more cumbersome and awkward to use or were more expensive to operate.

Chose Medium
Medium is yet another "medium" in the world of creating content. Like Google's Blogger and Quora, it is free to publish. Medium feels a bit more sophisticated than the others and, due to the look, feel and reach, helps you show up professionally in the field. With a fresh …

Chose Medium
There are a handful of other blogging platforms available. The biggest difference between Medium and others is how streamlined it is. It's straight to the point and is excellent at showing related content, be it your own or another users. There's no new design to navigate …

Medium was recommended by a friend and mentor for its large reach. Because of the promise that it would be easier to get exposure on Medium than other blogging websites, I decided to use it. I haven't used other blogging platforms, but the promise seems to have been kept. I …

If you are vanity publishing and just want to see your stuff on the web, it is very, VERY easy to get involved with. Of course, your writing is not likely to stand out if you don't have a clear plan. The more I use it, the more I like it. The user interface is extremely well-done. I kinda wish my WordPress-based blogs had editors that were that easy to use.

Cons
  • It can be harder to get your content seen as medium is a popular platform.
  • It is still early days for us to track back success (traffic, rank etc) from posting to medium regularly. I hear tracking success outside vanity metrics can be hard for others too.
  • I am yet to figure out how to create and add to magazines - these have the potential to be a good audience booster, but not too clear.

Usability
By comparison, most online editors are clunky. The Medium editor is amazingly powerful and still easy to use.

We found the support desk of Medium to be really good. They are very focussed on customer service and are willing to go all out to help in every way they can. They are fast to respond and they are also very knowledgable at what they do. They know the importance of being customer-focused.

Medium is dirt easy to use. The hard part is figuring out if it is worth the effort to include it as part of our content-marketing strategy.

Return on Investment
  • Making enough money to pay back the monthly subscription fee takes a long time to reach that level.
  • I've gotten a lot more recognition for being an SME in many areas and have received more interest professionally.
  • Writing enough articles that are also high enough quality to attract followers takes a lot of time out of my weeks.
