Curated Newsletters
Featured newsletters of writers contributing to the Substack Mastery Boost Program, Curated Newsletters, and Magnetic Newsletter Pro publications on Medium and Substack to create synergy
Dear Writers and Readers, Happy New Year,
We, as volunteer curation team of ILLUMINATION, are just back from holidays and now excited to curate and feature some eclectic newsletters for our readers to explore and possibly subscribe. We give many options from our curated collections nominated by community members.
It is inspiring to see so many freelance writers contributing to our publications on Medium now have created their newsletters on Substack, owning their content and audiences for their writing business. Kudos all!
This is a great start for our creators like you to take ownership of your content gradually and continue to build mailing lists using the power of Medium and Substack in an integrated way.
We also encourage our members to consider Patreon and Convertkit to reach a broader audience. We will guide you through ILLUMINATION Library for Freelance Writers and our upcoming unique community publication ILLUMINATION Writing Academy. Dr Yildiz also educates and inspires his subscribers through Content Marketing Strategy Insights.
As publication editors and curators our goal is to support you in this journey by guiding and featuring your content to fin new readers. We are working on the design improvement and testing of our new Substack Mastery Boost pilot. You can subscribe to one of the tiers like free, $5, or $15 monthly. Dr Yildiz offers founding membership to his Content Marketing Strategy Insights basic subscribers by the end of this month as a new year present.
As announced in the previous updates we are now ready to kickstart this exciting program planned for 12 months to try. If it becomes successful we will offer as a low cost education and marketing service to freelance writers and entrepreneurs who want to scale their writing and content marketing business.
Substack Mastery Boost is an educational, collaborative, and promotional tool for our community to shine and illuminate society. We are a diverse and inclusive community and look forward to your support and meaningful engagement with our community for mutual growth. We now have a Ko-Fi page to update you.
We have a strategy and plan for our 3 tier members. All authentic and ethical writers are invited to join our journey as free or paid if they can afford. We opened a collaboration channel on ILLUMINATION’s Slack workspace to support members.
To make them easier and more manageable, we updated submission guidelines for our major publications such as ILLUMINATION, Curated Newsletters, SYNERGY (Newsletter Booster), Technology Hits, and ILLUMINATION Book Chapters, Readers Hope, and Magnetic Newsletter Pro.
Thank you for following and subscribing to our publication on Substack. We can now easily find your newsletters and feature them in our curated collection. By using the power of Medium and Substack platforms, we will help you build your audience with collaboration and joy. Without a community, Substack could be lonely for writers.
To support our community of writers Dr Yildiz authored an educational and comprehensive book, Substack Mastery, which will guide you on this journey. His book helped many writers to start Substack easily. Those writers are now building their audiences, and some even have paid members. You can read the chapters for free on Medium via the following links:
Preface of “Substack Mastery” for Beta Readers, Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4, Chapter 5, Chapter 6, Chapter 7, Chapter 8, Chapter 9, Chapter 10, Chapter 11, Chapter 12, Chapter 13, Chapter 14, Chapter 15, Chapter 16, Chapter 17, Chapter 18, Chapter 19…
His new book A Powerful Toolkit for Advanced Substack Newsletter Mastery was published and now avaialable in book stores. However, he will offer the chapters of both books including the audio versions in his Content Marketing Strategy Insights publication on Substack.
In addition our editor, curator, and media coordinator Aiden created an education program based on his Substak books. His program, level 1 and level 2 are published on Udemy and he also shares the videos with the members of Content Marketing Strategy Insights.
Integrating Substack with Medium is an excellent approach. Now is the best time to start Substack considering the challenges of Medium which is no longer a sole income option for many freelance wriers. Diversifying your content is the best approach from our experience.
Guest Blogging for Writers
Dr Yildiz opened his website to guest bloggers, a community blogging facility. So, 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.
YouTube Channel for Freelancers
We are 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. Our media coordinator Aiden will be leading this initiative. He created a short video with some descriptions of the services we will provide. Join our exciting journey to reap the benefits of community spirit. Please subscribe to our Substack Channel to get Curated Content from Experienced Writers. Aiden will post all our podcasts to our YouTube channel with subtitles.

Dr Yildiz interviewed some influential or best-selling authors on Substack to inspire you. Now our new team Substack Boost Pilot will publish interview stories.
