If you write about technology, especially from an Africa-focused lens, one thing you might keep mulling over is the best platform to distribute your pieces. And if you’re anything like me, you’ll have tried so many mediums. But what if I told you that NODO, the platform you’re on right now, is the best place to distribute your writings on the internet?

“Show, don’t tell,” is what my ex-editor used to tell me all the time. So let me make him proud and show you exactly why NODO is premium.

1. A community’s waiting for you

Communities define how we experience digital social lives. Whether it’s on social media or a micro-blogging site, most internet users can only interact with folks within their community, and while this may be great for some, it has the downside of turning a writer into a digital marketer as they try to pull more people to their communities. A tech writer, for example, has to establish communities on social media where he can distribute the content written in say, a publishing website. NODO makes this a thing of the past! We’ve done the hard work of bringing tens of thousands of users interested in technology and the blockchain industry on one platform. So when you write, you’re certain that you’re distributing into the eyes and hearts of the right community. Talk about content-users fit!

2. Your growth is in your hands

Career growth is an important part of life, but sometimes, it’s difficult to tell exactly how one may grow, especially for skills like writing. While increased interest in your work may be welcomed as growth, such interest may also be a function of more marketing and doesn’t fully tell the picture of quality writing. NODO has made this easier for writers by introducing levels for all users. Actually, everyone starts as a user, but somewhere along the line, as your pieces increase in quality, get more interactions, and contribute to essential conversations on the platform, you can pave the way to be upgraded to an Expert. On NODO, the Expert status is usually assigned to industry connoisseurs and leading journalists who spotlight the industry in nuanced ways. When your pieces begin to match the quality of those posted by these Experts, you can tell that you’ve grown in your career and we can even recommend you for our Content Fellows Programme, which enables you to continue such excellent work while making some income.

3. More formats, more creativity

Variety is the spice of life, the age-long adage goes. Why write only when you can engage your community with features like quizzes and surveys that can give them a fuller experience of your pieces? These are some of the advantages you get with NODO: quizzes and surveys are live features that can optimise the user experience.

Imagine writing an explainer on, say, the rise of stablecoins in Africa’s crypto market. A write-up will be great, but a quiz that highlights the trends already discussed in the piece allows users to test knowledge and engage more with the concept of the piece. For such a piece, you can also publish a survey that asks your community about the different kinds of crypto they hold or trade, thereby extracting some data which could be beneficial for further writing.

There you have it! Three solid reasons why you should consider NODO as your primary medium for distributing your content and growing your portfolio. Need I say more? Register on NODO and start creating magic today! The world is waiting for your voice.
