This is a guest contribution from Tiffany Sun of Rabbut.
It’d always frustrate me after I publish asb directory a post on my blog. Simply because no one would respond or share it.
Did I pick a boring topic?
No, the real problem was not getting enough visibility to generate a steady stream of visitors to my blog. In other words, I had a dead blog.
The only way I could get people to realize I even existed was to:
1. Write SEO-optimized content.
This required me to research for specific updated 2024 mobile phone number data keywords that’d help me rank higher on search engines and write fresh, quality content using those keywords.
or
2. Use a mainstream media to promote my content.
This meant publishing my post on active social media sites: Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, Google+, and Quora to drive more traffic to my blog.
To keep it simple, I devoted all of my attention to #2. Surprisingly, Medium had worked the best for me.
In one month, I’d gotten 1,193 visitors who’d read my posts and clicked directly to Rabbut (my blog).

Here’s why Medium is the better marketing platform to promote your blog.
Medium targets readers.
Unlike Linkedin who appeals to ’yan uwa da ’yan uwa da ma na kowane makusanci. college graduates and marketers or Instagram who attracts photographers and food/fashion bloggers, Medium targets readers. Readers who crave stories that evoke strong feelings and open their eyes to new perspectives.
Just read one of the posts from “Top Stories” or Editor’s Picks, and you’ll know exactly what I mean. Rarely will you find posts that try to “sell” you a product or waste your time, simply because Medium rewards stories that teach or awaken your senses. As a matter of fact, they keep reforming their homepage and search page to deliver only the best stories to their readers.
