There are many reasons you might want to move your content from Medium to WordPress. Maybe, like me, you want to build out your website and include everything you’ve written on Medium. Perhaps you want a copy of everything you’ve written in case Medium one day shuts down. Regardless of the reason, moving content from Medium to WordPress takes time and patience. Once complete, you’ll have a complete copy of your Medium archive on your own WordPress-powered website.

Background

A few months after moving into full-time freelance writing, I redeveloped my website. I wanted better search engine optimization and lead generation. Part of the website redevelopment included expanding my blog. Everything I write publicly, regardless of site or platform, now exists under a single roof that I own and control.

No, I am not leaving Medium. My content will live both on Medium and my website. Yes, there are potential SEO implications of having content in multiple places. So far, however, my strategy is working, and my website is generating more searches and initial communication requests.
