Just received my invite via email. Currently I publish my essays everywhere (personal blog, Medium, Svbtle, sometimes Quora). I'll start publishing to LinkedIn too to see how it compares.
Interesting. I have been reading a lot of post on LinkedIn lately. Would be interesting once it is rolled out to all users.
@rrhoover How did you get your invite?
@michael_xander - TBH, it's unpredictable what will do well. Generally, more introspective piece or essays about writing do well on Medium. Svbtle generates 0 traffic unless it's highlighted on their homepage (which I believe Dustin or someone hand-picks / whitelists certain publishers).
@akramquraishi - they just gave ~25k people access and will continue to roll it out to everyone over time.
@rrhoover on a side note, do you cross publish on all those platforms are target different type of content on each of 'em. What do you think is the primary advantage in doing so. Or is it just for fun?
@akramquraishi I need to write a blog post about this because I get asked that question at least once a week. :)
Unless it's a guest post on a publication like TNW or Pando, I publish on my own blog first and the following day I cross post to Medium, Svbtle, and sometimes Quora. Ultimately, if the content is relevant to the community it's posted in, why not maximize distribution?
