A Sunset, A Sunrise

After much thought and deliberation, I’ve decided to sunset this Medium blog.

Generated with WALL-E 3

Firstly, this doesn’t mean I’ll delete this blog. It will remain until Medium exists and allows me to host it at no cost. What it does mean is that I won’t be publishing any new content in it and I won’t be checking for contact/interactions very often at all.

There are many reasons why I decided to take this step. Without going into much detail in my experience, and my blog analytics Medium has turned into the place where good content goes to die. Whereas I used to get thousands, if not tens of thousands, of blog views per week, I now get a hundred, perhaps less — regardless of topic. Traffic and exposure were the main draws for me to keep my blog here. Absent of these, I decided to move on.

In addition to my blog, long overdue (for decades, really) was a personal/professional website. Further, I wanted to separate my blog from product reviews that I do from time to time. Bearing all these things in mind, I went ahead and created my new website https://rubeninwriting.com where I will hereafter maintain my blog, professional going-ons and product reviews mini site (that’s still in the works). If you are so inclined, please pay it a visit — though frankly there’s not much content there at the moment.

So, I guess this is it, then, huh? 🙋‍♂️
