Where To Publish Your Blog To Grow

This is my first piece in my blog’s content writing commentary series. And I’m tackling a question someone posted in r/blogging. That question is the topic of today’s blog post.

“Where to publish your blog to grow.”

And I assume you’re asking the same question, or why would you be on my patch of the internet today? Lol. So, here’s the deal. I’ll explore 7 platforms a blogger should use to grow their blog’s brand.

But before we dive in, we need to acknowledge the state of blogging in 2026. Unreliable SEO traffic is triggering a blogger migration away from search engines to other media platforms.

Many blogs that relied heavily on search traffic have taken a beating with the recent Google updates. And a new era is emerging…

• There’s the rise of GEO.
• Brand building is getting popular in blogging circles.
• And the era of true web-logging is back where folks will curate for interesting bloggers again.

Alright, enough of my rambling.

Let’s see how publishing on these 7 platforms would grow your blog.

1. How To Leverage The Podcast Medium As A Blogger

So, do you need to pick up a microphone? Yes. In my opinion of course. They say that the pen is mightier than the sword.

But in this new era of blogging, the pen is not quarreling. It’s collaborating with both the mic and the lens. That’s media for bloggers today. And I know you might not like it. But friends, pay attention to the signs, blogging is simply not enough.

Now you have a mature podcast medium that serves content to consumers on-the-go; capturing deadtime in a way text can’t. So quicken your footsteps and match their strides with your podcast. Reach them when they commute, during gym sessions, and while they do household chores.

So now, what would you record and publish on your podcast?

Don’t stress. Everything you need is already on your blog. Just record your blog posts and publish. Don’t fear content duplication. You’ll notice that recording your article for an episode adds to your content. Your podcast content is more conversational. More personal.

Recording your blog posts is an opportunity to explain your written work given the subtractive nature of blogging and writing in general. So basically, make your blog post a podcast episode.

Now here are a few ideas to keep your podcast and blog cohesive brand-wise while expanding your podcast content.

• Get a guest to add a fresh perspective to your now recorded blog content.
• Be a guest on other like-minded blogs and podcasts. Pitch them using your backlog of published content.
• Let your blog ground your podcast with infographics and diagrams representing content discussed in the episode.

And now to YouTube.
