Mike’s Favorite Stories on ILLUMINATION Publications — #212


Curated Collection — Nostalgia Series

Featuring engaging stories that you may enjoy as well

Health Science Research By Dr Mike Broadly

Dear Readers, I couldn’t post my collections for a while. We had an excessive workload but it is getting better now with some strategic moves of our chief editors bringing innovative solutions to the table. We have exciting projects coming up to make writers’ job easier and to delight our readers with better services. The details will be in the newsletter soon,

Today, I found some engaging and captivating stories for you. I believe there is something for everyone, as I chose eclectic pieces from multiple topics. I also curate special stories from my unique publication, Health and Science. Here is my second newsletter with progress and some examples. As mentioned before, Aiden usually covers new ones, and I do nostalgic ones to attract new readers. Recently, I wrote an inspiring story about gaming for parents and grandparents like me.

Today we published new subsmission guidelines for both ILLUMINATION and Curated Newsletters. These are our largest publications. The new guidelines will make writers job easier. We tried to make them as simple as possible. We don’t worry about boosting anymore.

I became a founding member of ILLUMINATION Substack Community. I also started blogging. Our new 3-tier service is documented and will be announced soon.

Dr Yildiz wrote a long-waited book for freelance writers and started to share it free on multiple platforms for his beta readers. If you want to be successful on Substack this is a must read book. I read the draft and loved it. Here are the links to available chapters.

As a quick heads-up for those who don’t know what’s happening, Dr Yildiz closed ILLUMINATION-Curated for valid reasons and opened Curated Newsletters for Substack Mastery. He explained the reasons in the above story.

But I have good news for freelance writers. We launched our Substack Mastery successfully, and already, 27K freelancer writers have subscribed to it. Thanks, Dr Yildiz, for leading this project.

Why I Post My Story from a Pub Account

This post might catch you off guard. I’m sharing it through the ILLUMINATION-Curators account with the blessing of Dr Mehmet Yildiz, our esteemed owner, chief editor, and my mentor. Why? Because I’ve been forced to stop sharing curated collections from my personal account after Medium’s algorithm effectively placed me in ‘distribution/curation jail,’ leaving my stories with ZERO views. I no longer believe in network distribution, as it is a myth.

This isn’t just happening to me — several of my fellow editors have experienced the same unjust treatment. Aiden is most affected. He feels punished for his hard work. It breaks my heart. Medium is censoring us, plain and simple. As a result, none of us will be using our personal profiles for publication activities anymore.

Dr. Yildiz has penned a critical piece addressing this alarming situation on Medium today. I urge you to read his story and share your unfiltered thoughts and experiences. This is a moment for honesty and solidarity, and your voice matters more than ever. What Happened to EUPHORIA Losing 79% Views in 2024 and Why I No Longer Care

I have good news today. This fantastic piece inspired me to write my version. Congratulations to writers from 77 countries! This is very good news for friends from India, as they keep asking me on Slack. Now, your content will be monetizable. I look forward to exploring your stories.

We renamed our “Substack on ILLUMINATION” publication to Substack Mastery as an educational source for freelance writers. It will grow rapidly as there is a significant interest in Substack by the writers of Medium. ILLUMINATION-Curators introduce the plan and guidelines today.

Recently, editors and curators created the a new episode of the leading newsletters, a brainchild of Dr Yildiz. I was grateful they chose my humble one, which meant the world to me. If ILLUMINATION weren’t my content, I wouldn’t get any views on this platform. I look forward to subscribing and promoting them in my curated lists soon.

Dr Yildiz resigned from the boost program and explained his reasons in a story. As an editorial team, we support his great decision as this program, with no transparency, made editors and writers stress creating a more competitive atmosphere than our collaborative ones, so it did not meet our values.
