Curated Collection and Daily Updates
Favorite stories I read plus community-nominated pieces tailored for avid readers of ILLUMINATION Publications on Medium
Thank you for subscribing Technology, Gaming, Movies, and Social Media
Happy Weekend, 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. Mike and I as founding members of the new Substack Mastery program work hard to create the foundations for the community. We both restarted these collections as unless we promote them many stories hardly get any views. For those who missed here is the one I posted yesterday. We also blog them on our website owned by Dr Yildiz.
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 don’t want to post curated collections from my account as the Medium algorithm restricts the views my stories, so my personal pieces get no views. This happened to several other editor colleagues.
Mike sent his nostalgic series from the ILLUMINATION account. You can find some cool pieces from his collection.

4 New Submission Guidelines for Our Large Publications.
We will update all guidelines as our pubs are now being redesigned. Yesterday, we published new submission 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.
ILLUMINATION, Curated Newsletters, SYNERGY (Newsletter Booster) and Technology Hits
I introduced new writers from the ILLUMINATION account. Let’s give them a warm welcome.

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. Dr Yildiz wrote an inspiring invitation to all authetic writers.

We also have a new Quora Space for Substack Mastery You are all welcome to share the links of your news letters from Substak and stories from Medium. Here’s the link to join Quora Space to build your audience.
I was chatting with Mike earlier and he said he became a friend of Medium again. He wrote a satire today about he is now planning to take a $179 course. Of course he will waste his hard-earned dollars 😂 Why Am I Buying a $179 Course and How Will I Be Rich After My 70s as a Freelance Writer? Would you believe that Elon Musk will create a search engine like Google? Will You Use Elon Musk’s Proposed Search Engine Over Google?

Dr Yildiz introduced another writing platform which allows monetization. It is called Beehiiv and I already love it as it is very easy to use. You may love this if you are a writer and also an affiliate marketer. His mentor got rich from it. So it is worth reading. Beehiiv vs. Substack: The Ultimate Newsletter Showdown for Creators.
As a publication activity, I introduced my Substack site and newsletters of several writers contributing to our new publication Substack on ILLUMINATION. I believe you might find some interesting newsletters from this special collection and also meet many new writers I added and introduced.
