Is There Such a Thing As Publishing Too Much On Medium?

We have all heard the advice: To be successful on Medium we should write as frequently as possible, and at least one article per day. Some writers stick to this, but others write less and are still successful.

I tend to write more.

The other day I noticed that I lost 2 subscribers that were getting my articles by email. One can’t help but wonder why.

I understand that grabbing people's attention is fleeting.

• Maybe they don’t have time to read.
• Maybe they are overwhelmed with other things.
• Maybe it is because it is summer.
• Maybe they are tired of hearing about Turkey.
• Maybe I’m not writing about the things that they thought I was at the beginning.

The list can be endless, and of course, it is impossible to peer into the human psyche to find out why any of us do the things that we do.

But then I thought that maybe I am writing too much.

Am I overwhelming my readers? Are they tired of seeing my articles in their email inbox multiple times per day?
