When I wrote an article before, I wrote Medium As a secret little world, I wrote a lot of interview experiences, work ideas, etc. on it.
However, one day I discovered that Medium was like a drug to me. Although it was great and made me feel good about myself, it was not good for my future development.
Today I will share with you why I moved from Medium and why I want to set up my own website!
First time coming into contact with Medium
When I first came into contact with SEO, I wished there was a place where I could practice more.
I decided to find a platform to practice more and try more.
At that time, when I saw Medium for the first time, I immediately fell in love with my background in design. I just couldn’t put it down.
There are no ads, the layout is nice, and the user experience is very good. I can type my articles wholeheartedly without any interference.
So I also posted a lot of articles on Medium, including interview experiences, work sharing, mood moments, etc.
Watching the data increase every month, watching articles appear on the first page one after another, and receiving many letters from readers, it would be a lie to say that there is no sense of accomplishment.
But it wasn’t until later that I discovered…
But I found that none of the results belong to me
I find that Medium makes me feel so good about myself.
In the past, articles seemed to often appear on the first page of Google.
But in the later stage, some articles cannot be found?
No, this is really wrong. I checked many articles and found out:
"With Medium, you only need to do simple SEO at the beginning, and you can easily rank on the first page."
"But later it was changed to an advanced screening mechanism, and they decided which high-quality articles can be searched."
Hey, but Medium hasn’t announced its review standards?
Isn’t this a big disadvantage? Hahahaha, I don’t want to give in like this!
So, I decided to build my own website.
At least, you can control the life and death of your own website.
Can I really build my own website if I don’t understand programming at all?
"I don't know how to program, can I really build a website?"
This was my first thought when I decided to set up a website.
Although I have come across Python before, I have long forgotten all about it!
At that time, I was anxious and searched all the information on the Internet.
Later, I discovered a cool thing called “WordPress”
What is WordPress?
To put it simply, it is a website program. You don’t need to know how to program to create a variety of websites.
After reading this, my eyes lit up, it was so attractive!
It shouldn’t be difficult, just take it easy!
No, it’s a big misunderstanding! ! !
After the fight was over, the problem came. Only after the fight was over did I realize that I was the one who couldn't figure out the situation.
After setting up the website, there are still many questions waiting for you!
• The website suddenly hangs up
• The layout of the theme suddenly ran away
• The website is incredibly slow
I will share the blood and tears history of my own website later.
I will also share with you how I chose my blog’s hosting provider, purchased a domain, and some of the options~~
Set up the website and then?
You’ve set up your website, what do you do now?
Of course I want more people to see me!
Why do I build a website?
• In order to have a place to write articles
• In order not to let Medium control the traffic
For the first time, I had control, and the success or failure of my website rested on me!
I started thinking, what kind of person am I and what value can I bring to everyone?
I have a soul that is eager to share, very explosive. Maybe it’s because my parents are teachers🤣
So, I started writing articles that can help people, such as interview experience sharing, work sharing, and new information. And researching these contents is also a passion for me!
Moreover, I am also very grateful to you for searching for this article. At least, I think what I wrote has a chance to help others, or it can help you!
in conclusion
After sharing today’s story, I hope this article can help everyone.
