Daily Challenge to ILLUMINATION writers
One of my purpose for our publication growth strategy is to improve content curation skills of our writers. To this end, I recommend our writers to submit an article including ten articles which add value to their life and society.
You can describe the purpose of the article and articulate the reasons why the content was outstanding with key messages. You can embed the selected articles and name the article with your choice of creative titles.
We will select a prominent article each day and feature it on our publication.
These daily articles will constitute a mini curation list on our publication. Therefore, please select high impact articles in your curation list which can appeal to our readers.
