Analyzing Every Reddit Comment Mentioning HODL since 2017 — Part One
I made a trading bot called HodlBot that automatically diversifies your portfolio into the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market cap.
Think of it as a long-term crypto-index that you can DIY on your own exchange account.
To reach out to potential users, I've started blogging a lot and doing data journalism to create interesting content.
What do you guys think of this strategy? How could I improve?
What are some good ways to get on popular publications and get content out?
Thanks in advice :)
Content strategy is always a good idea, but it's a long-term bet. So I would suggest just stick with it, but don't expect a huge ROI in the short-term.
As another poster here said, I would post all of those blogs on my website and then import them in Medium through - https://medium.com/p/import
Tip. If you get in touch with Medium support, they can change the canonicals to up to 10 posts that you've already published, to save you to delete them and import them again.
That way you save the canonical URL and increase SEO effectiveness.
Besides that, the technical style of writing with a lot of graphs/images is appropriate for showcasing your expertise and therefore backing up your product offering.
The problem I see with hosting your blog on medium.com ergo on another domain than your main product is that you lose so much SEO potential. All the links that you might get are not improving your main domain.
You should really think about hosting it under your own domain to get the full benefit of a blog for promoting your main project.
You can do both. Publish under your own domain and cross-post on Medium without upsetting Search Engines.

I think blogging is great! Your blog is great for your target audience too so keep up the good work. Content distribution matters so much here so keep that in mind.
One thing that I to keep in mind is you are posting on medium (which is totally fine) but I find medium sucks for calls to action and keeping people engaged with your content. It also sucks for building your email list which is where your true fans will live. It will be much better in the long run to have people landing on your own website.
Thank you.
I'm not familiar with content distribution yet. Would you recommend not having it on medium and on my own blog?
I'd love to get on some publications too. Does anyone have tips on how to get on pubs like Hackernoon etc. ?

Email hackernoon your story. They usually approve it within 24 hrs. This post is a high quality one so you should sail thru.
You can write on your blog and import your posts to Medium. They respect your rel canonical tags.
