The downside: some of my old articles are wrong. Platforms change. Features get removed. And when your primary reference is yourself, you stop looking for other perspectives. That's lazy. I do it more than I should.

Each article is a tiny investment. Most do nothing for months. But a few start showing up in search results. And once they do, they keep showing up. That's the compounding effect of writing about what you actually do. 👇

I have almost 2,000 articles across three platforms. Medium, Substack, and my own blog. At some point you stop Googling your problems and start finding your own answers. Literally. 👇

If you're starting out, don't do this. Pick two platforms, build a habit. Multi-platform works when you already have traction. Starting from zero on all three at once would be brutal. 👇

What Happens When You Publish on Three Platforms at Once I publish every article on three platforms. Medium, Substack, and my own blog. Same topic, different versions. Here's what that looks like in practice. 👇

The best compliment I get on a story isn't "that was detailed." It's "that was exactly what I needed." And that usually comes from the shorter ones.

We write long because we think longer equals more valuable. We pad sections. We add examples we don't need because the article feels "thin" without them. I've done all of that. Many times.👇

The Case for Writing Shorter Articles in 2026 I have 900+ articles on Medium and 1,000+ on Substack. Many of my longest pieces are not my best. Not by quality, not by engagement. 👇

The price of a website should depend on what you get at the end. Not on how long someone takes. AI changed the production time. It didn't change what makes a website good. 👇

Website Pricing in the Age of AI AI can build a website in five minutes. Agencies still charge $5,000. Someone on Fiverr charges $50 for three ChatGPT prompts. Both feel wrong. The interesting question is what a fair price looks like in 2026. 👇
