Considered Both Products	Medium Verified User Anonymous Chose Medium WordPress and LinkedIn Publishing Platform Incentivized Helpful? Kevin O'Grady Founder Chose Medium 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. Incentivized Helpful? Saurabh Tiwari Relationship Manager Chose Medium I chose it because of the large user base. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Medium Medium is yet another "medium" in the world of creating content. Like Google's Blogger and Quora, it is free to publish.

User Testimonials
	Medium
Likelihood to Recommend	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. Incentivized Jack Edward Heald Marketing Consultant, Certified Marketing Partner, Read full review
Pros	User-friendly interface and editing features Easy to categorize articles to ensure they are found Change tracker helps review changes before article is published. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
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. Lucy Jones Head of Content Read full review
Usability	By comparison, most online editors are clunky. The Medium editor is amazingly powerful and still easy to use. Incentivized Jack Edward Heald Marketing Consultant, Certified Marketing Partner, Read full review
Support Rating	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. Incentivized Kevin O'Grady Founder Read full review
Implementation Rating	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. Incentivized Jack Edward Heald Marketing Consultant, Certified Marketing Partner, Read full review

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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
