My articles interviewing other people get a lot less traction than ones about my own personal opinions, so I'm just experimenting with what works. The ones about me do better than the interviews. I wish they didn't, to be honest. I'd rather people were interested in the interviews. Some people get incredible responses to their travel stories, but I guess they have a following that likes that kind of thing.
My best performers are on copyright, writing and Medium (not ideal) so I'm focusing on that more now.
I don't get excited by writing about food. I don't want to do that for Medium. I do that for My Weekly, and when I re-publish the stories in a Medium health publication, they flop. Opening a publication with no followers wouldn't change that. I basically started off writing about food, nutrition, and gardens (interviews with experts - not about me) and it was a disaster. So, I've moved onto other things.
Ahh yes, I see they sent you a separate message. Great response. They replied to me too, and I don't think you've seen this one, because you haven't replied to it https://medium.com/@theaccidentalmonster/youre-forgetting-that-they-control-pretty-much-everything-170a3ac51090
