I’m Moving to Medium.

Hello, everyone! This post is to let you know that starting now, all of my future writing will be moving to my blog on Medium, which can be found here: https://medium.com/@connorgroel.

I started Top Level Sports back in 2014 on Blogger and moved it over to this site in November of 2015. However, as time went on, I realized that it’s nearly impossible to gain any traction off an individual blog/site. Still, since there wasn’t a better option, I kept creating content on TLS.

Then came Medium. Last month, I started double-posting my articles on both TLS and Medium, a platform for quality, ad-free journalism, prose, and ideas on a wide variety of topics from a community of talented writers. I immediately fell in love with the minimalist beauty of the platform and the great stories featured on it.

Medium allows me to do what I love to do – write, and be part of a community without having to worry about anything else. With 60 million monthly readers and growing, Medium allows me to benefit from a large viewership base what would have been impossible on TLS.

Furthermore, it allows me the freedom to write about whatever I want, not just sports (although, let’s be honest: it’ll still be like 90% sports).

Here’s what you need to know: you can create a free account on Medium, and have access to three premium stories per month. They also offer unlimited access subscriptions for $5/month or $50/year.

This money makes up the pool that members of the Medium Partnership Program (including myself) are eligible to earn based on the success of their stories. I will continue releasing some content for free, but the majority of it will be behind this paywall.

However, you do NOT need to become a Medium premium member to read my paid content, as long as you access it through my friend link, a unique URL to each story that I will share on my personal Twitter (I will no longer be using twitter.com/TopLevelSports) and the old Top Level Sports Facebook page, which is now called Connor Groel – Writer.

Here are my updated social links:
Medium.com/@ConnorGroel
Facebook.com/ConnorGroelWriter
Twitter.com/ConnorGroel
YouTube.com/channel/UCHYtY8Zi7h2evN1fjgJ7t2Q

I encourage you to create a free account on Medium and follow me, as well as some of the other great storytellers on the platform.

Thank you to everyone who has read even one of my pieces, listened to one of my podcasts, tuned into a Facebook Live show, or followed my bracketology for the last five years. I’ll still be releasing much of the same content, along with some exciting new projects I hope to share more details of soon.

Until then, Medium and Twitter will be the best places to keep up with everything I’m doing. This is just the beginning.
