Ask HN: When should i post on our company blog, when on Medium?

Hi,

i believe that it is worth it to have valuable content (the kind that is actually worth a blogpost) on our own company blog. At the same time i'm a bit afraid to miss the attention i could get on Medium.

Also: i don't want to have our medium blog on something like blog.example.com because for SEO purposes it is better to have example.com/blog

What is your take on this?

    I'd do both. Post it first to your blog. Spread it on twitter/facebook/email list with a link to your blog.

    Then after a few days copy it onto other platforms. Like Medium (with a link back to the original) and LinkedIn Pulse (if it makes sense for your audience).

    You can try it, but there is a saying: "Put all your eggs in one basket and watch that basket."

    Spreading yourself too thin can be a problem rather than adding value.

    Best of luck.

    How are you expecting Medium to add value to your posts? Won't routing traffic through Medium just shave 90+ percent of it off?
