When I posted on Medium, I tried to get my articles published with popular publications (Hackernoon, FreeCodeCamp, CodeBurst) which has gotten me quite a lot of eyes on my articles. Medium analytics tells me I average around 800-1000 views a day across all my articles. My intention was to get more people to discover me through Medium so that I could eventually transition to a blog on my own website (similar to what you're planning).

Like you, I'll probably be adding Google Analytics to my personal blog when I get around to building it. However, I find the Medium analytics much nicer to analyze since the analytics data is beautifully presented compared to Google Analytics. I find it difficult to parse the pertinent data that is shown to me in Google Analytics.
