9.1a POSSE and PESOS - a better way of publishing on the internet

POSSE: Publish on Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere

PESOS: Publish Elsewhere, Syndicate to Own Site

The important part of both methods is that your work is published on your own website, a platform over which you have control. This prevents your work being lost when the platforms shut down, change their license agreements or otherwise screw over their users. If you're going to provide content to the likes of Facebook ant Twitter for free, it pays to at least have it backed up somewhere you aren't beholden to the algorithm.

Which method you use is down to personal preference, though a hybrid approach is likely the best.
