Medium Vs YouTube (Best Passive Income Platform?)

In the 1991, being popular online was associated with being a creep or “mom’s basement” type weirdo. In 2021, “Internet Celebrity” is associated with fast cars, beautiful women, and lavish parties.

People think of content creators today the way rockstars were viewed in the 1980’s.

Because of this, you’ve probably thought about starting an online business of some type. Today’s article looks at two platforms, YouTube and Medium, with an in-depth dive into what advantages (and disadvantages) each site has.

YouTube Pros

YouTube is a platform that needs no introduction. It’s the second most visited website in the world, with over 500 hours of video being uploaded to it every minute.

When it comes to scale and scope, nothing else compares.

According to Brandwatch:

On mobile alone, YouTube reaches more 18–49 year-olds than any broadcast or cable TV network.

And…

We watch over 1 billion hours of YouTube videos a day, more than Netflix and Facebook video combined.
