      <title>Why Not Medium or Substack?</title>
      <link>https://ernestortizwritesnow.com/why-not-medium-or-substack?pk_campaign=rss-feed</link>
      <description>&lt;![CDATA[I used to like Medium articles. Anything related to writing, marketing, or business, Medium was my go-to. However, too many paywalled articles and forcing you to register just to read the free articles turned me away from the site.&#xA;&#xA;I do love Substack and there are many informative and thoughtful creators I follow. However, I don’t think I’m intelligent enough nor have the time to write such articles. Who knows, maybe in the future when I’m not so busy.&#xA;&#xA;The main reason I choose Write.as for my primary blog is focusing solely on writing without worrying about click stats, email marketing, or selling a product or service. All my posts are free and they are not monetized. So enjoy, take what you can learn, and spread the word. And I will try to do the same with yours.&#xA;&#xA;writing&#xA;medium&#xA;substack&#xA;&#xA;a href=&#34;https://remark.as/p/ernestortizwritesnow.com/why-not-medium-or-substack&#34;Discuss.../a&#xA;&#xA;!--emailsub--&#xA;]]&gt;</description>
