Mike’s Favorite Stories on ILLUMINATION Publications — #218


Curated Collection — Nostalgia Series

As an editor and content curator, I feature engaging stories that you may enjoy as well

Compiled by Mike Broadly, DHSc for ILLUMINATION Readers

If you are a non-member, you can read these collections in my blogs

Happy Sunday, dear subscribers, we are developing great projects for writers and readers to make writers’ jobs easier and delight our readers with better services. The details will be in the newsletter soon. Aiden and I decided to restart these collections. Otherwise, these beautifully-crafted stories get hardly any views organically.

For those who don’t know, my account is Mike Broadly, DHSc. 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.

Here is what Aiden found today! He now posts the from the ILLUMINATION-Curators account and also blog them for non-members and subscribers of our other platforms to create visibility for a broader audience. Look What Aiden Found Today — Episode #234

4 New Submission Guidelines for New Strategic Direction

We published new submission guidelines for:

ILLUMINATION, Curated Newsletters, SYNERGY (Newsletter Booster), and Technology Hits.

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.

Our New 3-Tier Service for Creators, Freelancers, and Content Entrepreneurs

I covered it in an editorial bulletin titled The Strategic Move: ILLUMINATION Community’s Commercial Arm for Charitable Success. The offering is documented on our website in the attached link.

For those who don’t know, we renamed our recent publication Substack Mastery to make it an educational source for our writers and readers. It will be a sensational pub. ILLUMINATION-Curators introduce it. Welcome to “Substack Mastery” Publication by the ILLUMINATION Network on Medium

We have a new Quora Space for Substack Mastery. You are all welcome to share links to your newsletters from Substcak and stories from Medium. Here’s the link to join Quora Space to build your audience.

If you write on health and science topics, you are welcome to join my community on Medium and Substack. I am also extending the service to Quora. Here’s my first tutorial about monetization, which is the most frequently asked question by writers.

Dr Yildiz left 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. It was one of my reasons to quit editing.
