Submitted Article to HackerNoon
by Zane MilakovicTesting the waters...
I discovered that HackerNoon has open submissions. SInce cross-posting to medium has not been working, I decided to look for other sources. I am already cross-posting to Dev.to, but the traffic is limited.
So far my success is as follows -
- Medium - 6 reads across two articles
- Dev.to - 500 reads across 3 articles, but nothing after a limited release.
- HackerNoon - pending approval of a single article
Does anyone else know a good development site for cross-posting and republishing content?

So, it seems like there's a ton of options. Medium, HackerNoon, freecodecamp, and Dev.to...
Is there any way to write once and share everywhere?

Hashnode also supports cross-posting.

freecodecamp has always done the best for me, traffic and conversion wise.

DailyJS on Medium has also been a good source of traffic for me, or at least was this time last year. Not sure about now.

I know a lot of people have bailed from Medium. FreeCodeCamp and HackerNoon have both bailed off the platform. So I know a lot of people reading technical articles are leaving as readers as well.

Hey there fellow Austinite! First off, I'm definitely not sure about the cross-posting stuff, not something I personally engage in with my own blog.
I do know sites like Alligator.io (full disclosure, I do write for them) has sponsored posts mixed in with their other content. I suspect you're bootstrapping, but figured I'd put it out there that you may have better luck with some pay to play advertising / sponsorship type things. If nothing else, solid chance you'd be paying for a block of views so you'd know exactly what you'd be getting.
From my own experience of guest posting (which I'd liken to cross posting, with the exception of the content being original and not duplicated), there tends to not be a ton of traffic back from the articles, but I do think it's a good thing to get your name out there as much as you can.
Not necessarily directly cross posting, but there are quite a few newsletters out there (JavaScript and Node Weekly both come to mind) that pick up posts from time to time. I've had a few things picked up and it tends to be a fairly big deal when it happens. Similar to what I mentioned above, many of them do have pay to play opportunities

I am not so much looking to bootstrap, gets ads or anything. I just don’t want to waste my time for 2 reads on Medium.
I have been in this field for a long time, and I felt I should give writing a shot. Thank you for the suggestions though!
