New Cohort, New Writing Tech Stack — Plus, How The Ship Changed My Medium Stats So Far
Going into my 90-day #ContentStorm experiment, my writing tech stack was a bit whack.
(Can’t resist a good rhyme, sorry not sorry)
I was clearly doing the most.
The Writing Tech Stack I Had:
- Ulysses
- Scrivener
- Squarespace
- Patreon
- ConvertKit, then Revue
- Grammarly & Hemingwayapp
- Social Bee
- PromoRepublic
- Medium
- Substack
- Multiple Twitter Accounts
My Current Writing Tech Stack:
- Apple’s Pages & Notes
- Typeshare
- Still Grammarly & Hemingwayapp
- Gumroad
- Ghost
- Hypefury
- Zapier
- Concentration on one Twitter account
Clearly, You Can See the Simplification Here
Your mileage may vary, but I entered my commitment to 90-days of daily shipping with a spirit of experimentation.
I decided to let the data show me what was working.
Since the Ship started sailing, I’ve hardly used Ulysses. Patreon & Substack were wastes. Hypefury beats both Social Bee and PromoRepublic. Ghost beats Squarespace, ConvertKit, Revue, Patreon, and Substack.
What The Hell Happened with Medium?
I am asking the same thing. I had a rapid rise on the platform, followed by what looks currently to be a drop-off.
What’s awesome: Typeshare publishes directly to Medium for you.
What’s not? It appears to me the Typeshare-Medium content automation isn’t working for me. I did better writing longer, tailored-to-Medium content in December.
Am I right about this? Only time will tell. This is why sticking with the experiment of shipping daily in the long term is so revealing. There’s a chance I’m having an “off month” or the algorithm changed, or who knows?
But if you don’t stick with it, you don’t find out.
