Favorite stories I read plus community-nominated pieces tailored for avid readers of ILLUMINATION Publications on Medium
Curated Collection and Daily Updates
Technology, Gaming, Movies, and Social Media
Dear Readers and Fellow Writer, I hope this story finds you well. I couldn’t post these collections for a while due to a very hectic schedule Thank you for checking out my collection I found some eclectic stories from my reading and nominations of fellow editors and avid readers.
This post might surprise my new readers as I published it through the ILLUMINATION-Curators account with the permission of Dr Mehmet Yildiz owner and chief editor of our pubs. I will no longer send curated collections from my account as the Medium algorithm restricts my stories, so my personal pieces get no views. This happened to several other editor colleagues.
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.

For those who don’t know, we renamed our recent publication to Substack Mastery to make it an educational source for our writers and readers. It will be a sensational pub. ILLUMINATION-Curators introduce it today.
Welcome to “Substack Mastery” Publication by the ILLUMINATION Network on Medium
We renamed the previous “Substack on ILLUMINATION” publication to avoid confusion with our other publications.medium.com
Integrating Substack with Medium is a great idea. To this end, as a community builder, I created a philanthropic organization that will empower creators, freelance writers, and content entrepreneurs with a commercial arm. I documented the strategy and high-level plan in a story. Please feel free to ask questions and provide feedback. Refraining from perfection, I choose a progressive path.
Here are our draft service definitions for creators, freelance writers, and content entrepreneurs. We will explain the details in our upcoming newsletter.
We introduce a new blogging environment on our website to enhance the visibility of Medium stories and Substack newsletters. This approach will boost SEO, making it easier for readers to discover content through search engines and increasing the likelihood of converting visitors into newsletter subscribers.
We are also launching a new video and podcasting service on our community YouTube channel, further expanding the reach and visibility of our writers’ work across multiple mediums.
As the media coordinator I will be leading this initiative. I created a short video with some descriptions of the services we will provide. Join our exciting journey to reap the benefits of community spirit.
