In this series of honest and poignant essays, Heidi Priebe explores the harsh reality of what it means to let go of the people and situations we love most — often before we are ready to — and how to embrace what comes next.
Icame to Medium out of frustration. Unfortunately, I had already manifested, through my furiously dancing fingertips, a 2, word essay pointing out the ignorance I felt strongly present in the magazine article, only to find there was no way to share it — cue Medium.
I was impressed with the response to the article on Medium, which was my first — 26K views, 7K reads, fans, and euros in my pocket to date. And I was even more impressed the tools that Medium provides an author. While the interface is as simple as paper, knog what passages a reader highlights, how many views turn into full reads, how many people follow you after reading something that you write, what their interests are — so that you can see how people coming from different backgrounds engage with your writing — and of course, being able to have detailed responses to your work, are just nothing short of a godsend for an author.
And this led me to try publishing a book on Medium. The book is a big one, nearly pages in paperback format. However, the practices use an unusual support in place of the breath — which is the more common, but deficient in particular ways, support today. But these all come from various spiritual traditions, and none of them are framed within our modern mechanistic materialism, thus there is a necessity to explain how things differ from how they are understood today, in order that the reader understand exactly what they are using.
You might think this is totally inappropriate for Medium, and there are some shortcomings, but for me the biggest reason to attempt publishing this book here is the potential audience, and the availability that Medium affords me as a writer. While there are still many physical book readers — myself among them — the option to have a book on a mobile device is just such a no-brainer. And in fact, the tools that Medium provides, which I mentioned above, are absent from ebooks.
So the biggest reason for launching a book on Medium has two aspects: availability and readers. With Medium it is different. Anyone can access Medium. And of course, the potential audience on Medium is not limited to merely members and current readers of Medium, but can be garnered via social media, word of mouth, and friends, all of whom can be directed to the Medium site, with little effort. There is also the cost and hassle savings of not hosting your own blog, which was another alternative I considered.
I still buy the domain names and setup email addresses as appropriate, but I no longer see any reason to host a website. Such small websites have the same security and hacking worries as the biggest names, and it is all on your shoulders.
I never realized just how much of a problem it is until I subscribed to a service available to Wordpress sites via a plugin called Wordfence, which not only scanned my server for hacks on a daily basis, but also monitored all traffic in and out. Once that was installed I could sit and watch the dozens of daily automated login attempts by hackers around the world trying to break into my site in order to hijack it into their botnets. If you have a personal website it is very likely part of a botnet, or even part of a crypto-currency mining operation.
For a small writer it makes little sense anymore. This is a bit frustrating — for both the reader and myself, but hey! Hello, There are also babiline. Geckoandfly [ Reply ]. Book Lover [ Reply ].
