I often find myself closing the tab in the middle of registration because of the long setup process.</p> <p>I already boosted my SEO and domain rating because of backlinks by cross-publishing to here DEV, Hashnode, Medium, Ghost CMS and LinkedIn. Soon to Reddit as well. And all my content is in managed in Notion.</p> <p>Here's how I am cross-posting with OnePublish:</p> <p><iframe width="710" height="399" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mBgqN4G55kY"> </iframe> </p> <p>Waiting for your feedbacks :)</p> writing productivity showdev programming
