Do you cross-post/share anywhere other than DEV?

• Personal Site?
• Hashnode
• Medium
• LinkedIn Article (not post)

Share your experience, and whether cross-posting to anywhere else has helped build your community and drive meaningful engagement.

My current Process

I currently post all articles to my personal site waylonwalker.com, and they show up in my DEV dashboard as a draft. I fix the missing cover image, and language from code blocks and post when ready.

Some posts stop here.

Flagship posts get shared heavily

• Twitter
• DEV
• LinkedIn
• Newsletter

For flagship posts, I make sure that I share it to Twitter and LinkedIn.

My Twitter account is small beans so it drives very little engagement, that's hardly worth the effort. The same core friends that I have on Twitter also are connected on LinkedIn anyways.

For LinkedIn, I make sure that I summarize the article in 800-1300 characters, as I anticipate most people just read the summary on LinkedIn and move on without clicking the article.

I also attempt to keep up a monthly newsletter where I share all of my articles.
