I have posted blogs on LinkedIn, Medium, and now on Publish0x

I do have a lot of followers on LinkedIn (8k+).

LinkedIn hadn't opened the opportunity for monetizing content. It is a lost opportunity.

LinkedIn could have done with its very advanced blogging platform called Pulse. After Microsoft acquired LinkedIn, the Pulse was replaced by the new and worse Writer platform replaced it.

The featuring channels disappeared. The zeal among the bloggers on LinkedIn has lost its life under the Microsftization of the company. Like Nokia (which was also acquired by Microsoft) incurred a huge loss under Microsoft control, LinkedIn hasn't been doing good business. Only Jeff Weiner, Reid Hoffman, and a few others made huge monetary gains from LinkedIn's sale to Microsoft. 

--------------------------------

Medium's monetization model seems attractive but is redundant in most of the globe

On the home page, Medium invites everybody to join and publish blogs. Anybody can create a free membership and start posting text content with attractive cover photos.

In principle, every Medium member (free or paid) can put their blogs under a Medium Partner Program (MPP) paywall. Based on the engagement, verified members under MPP can earn. The payment of the MPP earnings is managed only by Stripe - a payment company.

But, Stripe services are available only in a few listed countries, such as the US, UK, Australia, etc. It doesn't include most countries from Africa, South America, and Asia. When I asked the in-charge of Stripe India in 2018, the guy told me it would take some time. It is now 2021 August. Still, Stripe is not fully functional in India, Brazil, Bangladesh, Trinidad, Cambodia, etc.

There is an indirect way. I and some people tried to enroll in MPP and get the earnings via Payoneer, a better payment company and support worldwide.

Publish0x is a new-age content publishing platform

When my LinkedIn friend suggested Publish0x-dot-Com, I never thought I would publish content here. After a while, I have decided to start posting text content on Publsh0x.

Publish0x appears to be a nice platform. I have started to pour text blogs about two days ago. I have started to grow my community. I have followed some bloggers. The blog's stats show views, 'likes,' and comments. It is also showing some micro-earnings.

I am not sure if I would be able to collect the earnings into my bank account. Being from a country where cryptocurrencies can't be directly taken to bank accounts, getting payouts is a little bit of a problem. I know it is possible to get funds converted to fiat currencies and transfer them to banks.

I must say I was a little bit unwilling. As I know that willingness is the key to open any new opportunities. So, I won't take much time to get rolling with daily blogs on Publish0x.

I have to check the publishing policy, rules, and code of conduct on Publish0x.

Final words

Publish0x seems to be more writer-friendly compared to other blogging platforms, including Medium. I am also exploring another content publishing platform called Odysee, which is also promising - creators can publish text blogs, images, audios, videos on Odysee. I hope the Publish0x team will consider extending the possibilities by letting us publish audios and videos as well.
