I’ve now been writing at Simily for 24 weeks.

Each week, I write an update about my experience on the platform.

For a number of weeks, I noted that growth was slow and steady and would soon eclipse 4000 members.

Well, not yet.

Only 12 members away from 4000, but growth has definitely slowed.

For me, Simily is a home for my fiction. Of course, I republish my fiction there here on Medium — why not capitalize on earnings from both platforms.

All of the fiction pieces I’ve published on Simily and republished here have earned on Medium — and the total is more than the Simily earnings. In fact, my fiction earns each month here on Medium.

Here’s the deal: Simily needs to update its hosting platform. Period.

Yes, they also need to continue promoting the writing on the site. Yes, they need to feature promising writers in their social media.
