Nothing is as important as passion. No matter what you want to do with your life, be passionate. — -Jon Bon Jovi

As editor of ILLUMINATION, my passion and primary goals are creating visibility for our writers, increasing number of views and reading times for our stories. I do my best to achieve these goals.

When I see good progress for achieving these goals, I experience joy and happiness. The most significant pain of Medium writers is related to views and reading times. Therefore, I focus on this pain and create the required traffic with our innovative content management strategies.

Gaining 20,600+ followers, today, we broke the record in views and reading times of our stories.

A picture can say thousands of words. Here is the screenshot for reading times from our publication dashboard. We had 57,729 minutes of reading times.

Here is the screen shot for views from our publication dashboard. 38,631views.

We had 9,573 new visitors.

One of the top Medium writers, J.J. Pryor, whom I follow, wrote a fantastic story on the Better Marketing, which is one of my favorite publications. However, because of the wrong data, his story seemed to overlook ILLUMINATION which is the fastest growing publication on Medium. Since J.J. is a diligent writer, he updated the article and added our publication to his list. Many thanks to J.J for the update!

Our editor and writer Arthur G. Hernandez coincidentally made an analysis of our growth yesterday and shared it in the attached article. Arthur has strong data analysis skills with rigor, using published data as evident in his story.

I try to create many connections and relationship building activities for our writers. I started compiling testimonials written for writers. When you write testimonials for your peers, please leave a comment on this story so that I can add them to the list.

Peer review is one of the most important and acceptable forms of appreciation and recognition. Therefore, I invite our writers to create testimonials for their favorite writers. I discussed the importance of testimonials in this story.

As promised, I added more top writers and their expertise in this list. The list is growing and our readers are enjoying to explore the stories of our top writers.

What did ILLUMINATION writers create today?

Here is a bundle of stories that I was able to add to our distribution list today. Thank you for adding comments to create visibility to your great stories. You deserve recognition.

One of the purposes of this daily distribution is to access to our stories easily. You can read and share them easily. You can follow these great writers.

I recommend enjoying as many stories as possible from this list. If your story is not included, please leave a comment by linking your story so that readers get a chance to read your stories.

Content Quality Focus

We strive for excellence. We make every effort to increase the quality of our stories and provide an enjoyable reading experience to our followers. Quality is an iterative process. I notice that the quality of our stories is increasing day by day. The curation rate increased.

We need to be proactive and maintain quality.

New writers: please ensure that you check your stories for typos, spelling, and grammar errors before submitting them to the publication. Our readers deserve high quality stories.

We have some volunteering editors who can perform a proof-reading for the writers from the non-English speaking background. You can search for volunteers from our Slack channel. One of the proof-reading tools our writers recommend is Grammarly. There may be other applications that you can use to improve readability of your stories

We curate valuable content for our readers; we create awareness and visibility of our content to wider audience. We also amplify Medium articles on social media to bring new readers and subscribers.

If you have already applied from different means and not added to the publication yet, please try again by directly writing to me. Some messages are easily lost on articles.

Several new top writers joined us. We have now 2,300+ writers. The more the better for our diversity. We aim to appeal to millions providing diverse and insightful content globally.
