Medium is easy to use as compared to other platforms

If you start writing from another blog or website then it is not easy to create and design your blog or website. There will be a lot of procedures for creating your website or blog. It takes a lot of time. On another hand, it is easy to create a blog on medium.com because it has no such procedures. On other websites, there will not be so much traffic for beginners and it will be taken so much time to grow up if you are not a good expert blogger. On the other hand, there is much traffic on medium if you write well you will get a lot of traffic. If you write a good Seo-friendly article, your article will come on the top of Google search top 10 websites.
