I Posted On Medium.com For The First Time Today...Here's Why
![xJGh6cXvC69an86AdrLD98.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeBsUTx1arzeuuwSZfjMqHS5hkeENDGgwyhd1JJDjfAKv/xJGh6cXvC69an86AdrLD98.jpg)

**[Today I posted my first article on Medium](https://medium.com/@dappcentral.io/weekly-dappcentral-wrap-up-18-07-18-ac4b53481a38)**...you will understand **why** if you read the whole article.

For some reason, something changed in me this week. It was a complete transformation of how I see my relationship with the Steem blockchain. And it's all @Steempress-io's fault.

## DAppCentral.io Is Born And With It...A New Vision
If you haven't visited [dappcentral.io](dappcentral.io) powered by [SteemPress](https://wordpress.org/plugins/steempress/), stop by and check it out. For now, it's simply a personal blog where I spend time reviewing DApps(Decentralized Applications) but the vision is to build this into a thriving community of DApps enthusiast.

## So What Changed?
I've been blogging on steemit.com for 2 years now...for a grand total of 3675 posts(including comments).  Last week, I bought hosting and launched Wordpress, installed Genesis Framework and a few of my favorite plugins.

I realized that with my blog, I now **own a piece of property** on the internet. I have total control over the design, the infrastructure and the SEO...**I can actually build a brand**.

The time I spend on each article as quadrupled. Somehow because I now blog on my own domain, I am much more careful about the quality of my output.

## Growing An Audience
I really enjoy being an established author on the Steem blockchain. I have 17000 followers and I get a good amount of views and comments everytime I write. I love reading your comments and interacting with you guys.  For this reason, I'm really looking forward to the future features of SteemPress for complete 2-way integration.

But to build the community that I want to build, I have to reach beyond the Steem Community and go where the people most likely to like my content are. In the DApp world, I have to go to Medium and Reddit.

So moving forward, I'll have a weekly wrap-up covering the top 3 articles I'm most proud of and see if I can get some traction from Medium. 

## Conclusion - Something is Brewing...

Now that I'm in the Wordpress world, I realize the potential there for the Steem blockchain is HUGE...I definitely want to launch a business that will offer a killer plugin that will fill a need in the market. I'll stay silent for now but I'm beyond excited about it. As soon as an alpha is ready, I will let you know.

Great post @cryptooctopus. I run the adventure lifestyle website <a href="https://www.adaptnetwork.com">adaptnetwork.com</a> (also running on WordPress and the Genesis Framework), so I can relate to the importance of reaching people across multiple platforms.

I see a lot of similarities between the Bitcoin/Crypto dev world and the WordPress dev world, particularly because of the Open-Source nature of both projects. 

I love developing on the Genesis Framework - it's so elegantly put together. I also hold a developer account with StudioPress, so if you ever want to try one of their child themes (<a href="https://my.studiopress.com/themes/">my.studiopress.com/themes</a>) or need help developing on the framwork, let me know. 馃憤

As far as your point that social media can't work when it's built on eth, I'd say that's true, scaling issues are secondary to most team's attempts at tapping into the second most well-known coin's marketshare and following in an effort to lend credibility to their own projects. And it really doesn't matter if your platform can't scale well if you were planning on cashing out when the price goes up just from hype or traders.

Good luck man! There is definately room for steem or a steem type platform to expand with sites like Medium offering very little in terms of rewards for all the traffic authors are brinigng them via organic traffic and then with wordpress there are plenty of bloggers like myself who try to monetize our traffic the best we can and im lucky i understand ad tech but for the normall blogger who is just going to run an adsense plugin its not going to be as rewarding as it should be just for their content efforts

Great job at joining Medium! Funny, because I just posted my first intro article too, last week. I have been on Medium for a while but did not have the courage to post. But it's a great ''medium'' for bloggers to get known as well as Steemit. What I like about Medium is that there is more quality in content. Something that unfortunately lacks here sometimes. 
I want to publish more of my articles on Medium as well but I gotta get the time to. It ain't easy to get free time with a newborn to look after!

That is very interesting! I'm just re-starting posting here at SteemIt, after a few months underground. It seems that not much has changed since I was away. This interface is still horrible and that's why I use Busy.org instead.

But I see a lot of new developments on STEEM beyond SteemIt.com and that is amazing. Everything from DTube and DLive to SteemMonsters, Bob's Repair and Steemhunt.

I'm now playing SteemNova, which at the moment only uses SteemConnect for the authentication, but it seems like the goal is to migrate the game into the STEEM platform. Let's see how that works out!

If the trend continues, STEEM has a good chance of taking over the Internet!

Busy could be dogshit compared to steemit and people would still use it for the busy.pay vote.

It's a nice plus that it has so many more features.

I'm a fan of what Steem is doing with monetization of content, but being honest, Medium really kicks Steemit's arse in terms of quality of readership.  

I notice your current post has 800+ votes, but how many of them correlate to reads?  10%, 5%, 1%?  On Medium, you have a much more engaged audience, and some pretty good targeting from their categorizations.

You can also see statistics of how many people viewed article and how many actually read it.  Perhaps Steemit will implement something like that one day, but I doubt it...

Good luck with your blogging!

Good for you.  This is a smart move in my opinion.  Yes there is a bigger world outside of STEEM and it makes sense, if you want to build a brand, to branch out.

I followed @steempress for a while, even wrote a couple articles about it.  It is a great app since it has the potential to reach 75+ M different websites.  That is a market STEEM needs to go after.  I havent written about it of late (@actifit is my latest app that I am following/promoting closely).  

The more Steemians out there creating quality content in the other social media realms and feeding it back to STEEM can only help.  It is a much better approach than the get rich quick promos that some like to post on FB and YT.

I will be following your progress.

There's really a bigger world outside steemit. I started off with regulars blogs but stuck to steemit because I found it easier.

Migrating to WordPress in the future happens to be on my agenda.

I only recently realized anyone can submit to Medium and have been considering posting there as well.  I'm no blogger though, but I am never short of an opinion or willingness to share something.
