For a product use-case explainer, the best publisher is usually one that helps you reach people who are already looking for solutions and can understand the product in context.

Best choices, depending on your goal

  • Your own website / blog
    Best if you want the explainer to support SEO, conversion, and product education. This is often the default best option.

  • LinkedIn Publisher / LinkedIn Articles
    Good if the explainer is aimed at professionals, B2B buyers, or thought leadership. Works well for use-case stories and business outcomes.

  • YouTube
    Best if the explainer is visual or demo-driven. Great for showing the product in action and improving understanding quickly.

  • Medium or similar content platforms
    Useful for broader reach and discoverability, especially for educational or narrative-style explainers.

  • Industry-specific publications or newsletters
    Best if your audience is concentrated in one niche and you want credibility or targeted reach.

Simple rule of thumb

  • If you want conversion and ownership: publish on your own site
  • If you want reach and professional audience: use LinkedIn
  • If you want visual demonstration: use YouTube
  • If you want broader awareness: use Medium or a relevant industry publication

If you want, I can also recommend the best publisher by product type — for example SaaS, consumer app, or hardware.
