How Can Published Authors Create Visibility on Medium?

Sample book indexing and guide to leveraging the power of Illumination Book Chapters publication for published and independent authors

Authors can leverage the power of Illumination Book Chapters.

I established ILLUMINATION Books Chapters to give voice to published authors on Medium.

ILLUMINATION Integrated Publications are inclusive and diverse, supporting 21,000+ contributors. We support different levels of writers, from absolute beginners to the most accomplished ones delighting our readers.

They include:

ILLUMINATION ILLUMINATION-Curated ILLUMINATION’ S MIRROR ILLUMINATION Book Chapters Technology Hits SYNERGY Readers Hope Illumination on YouTube Illumination Gaming ILLUMINATION’s Blog

In this post, my purpose is to guide published authors contributing to ILLUMINATION Book Chapters and use the powers of ILLUMINATION, ILLUMINATION-Curated, SYNERGY, and Technology Hit to reach out to a broader audience. These publications are now followed by 150,000 readers.

Writers' stats have dramatically dropped, affecting their income and life satisfaction. Unless we make a concerted effort, it is not possible to gain new readers. Let alone new readers, my regular readers and followers cannot find content in this vast ocean anymore.

This situation is sad but a reality and reflects the truth. Rather than dwelling on this undesirable situation, I recommend our published authors take responsibility for creating visibility for their content.

We need to stay optimistic, determined, and committed. I always look at the silver linings on the horizon. The only thing that we can control is our actions.

Authors should not only focus on creating and presenting but also on promoting their content meaningfully. An ideal author should think and act like an entrepreneur to survive and thrive in this competitive world and economic climate.

As mentioned in my recent post, all our publications are tightly coupled with a clear roadmap for writers’ success. We brand a new venture as ILLUMINATION Integrated Publications (IIP).

This venture’s mission is to empower writers to find their voice by showing courage and confidence, create visibility for their content, and find new readers on Medium and beyond.

For new writers, ILLUMINATION Book Chapters offer three key values.

1 — Published authors can gain new readers via their repurposed book chapters. They can also earn income from their published content on Medium.

2 — Published authors can gain new followers and beta readers who can provide feedback for their new manuscripts.

3 — Aspiring writers can gain by creating manuscripts derived from their published stories. They can transfer them into the ILLUMINATION Book Chapters, obtain reader reviews, and publish them as books later.

Like other authors, I started submitting chapters of my books in story format to ILLUMINATION Book Chapters. So far, I have started with only two books, one related to Technology and Business and the other about self-improvement.

As an editor of this publication, I feel obliged to guide our writers to give them the best possible experience for them to take advantage of in this venture. ILLUMINATION and ILLUMINATION-Curated supplement my efforts by creating visibility of book chapters from published authors.

I provided additional guidance to beginners who want to be published authors at the end of this article.

Here are sample templates that I use to create visibility for my books.

Templates for Introduction

You might tailor these templates to their needs.

You may title your story “Book Chapters by [Your Medium account name]

Then you can write one or two paragraphs introducing your book to your readers.

The next part is linking your book chapters in a similar format to what I present below.

Action for Authors

When you complete your introduction to a story, you can submit it to ILLUMINATION. Please remember to tag me so that I can be notified of your submission to publication to include your story in our distribution system.

I hope you find this guide useful. I look forward to reading your introductions, hosting, and promoting them.

Please remember to share your story on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Quora, and Reddit. You can also repurpose your stories on Vocal Media. I created a new Quora Space exclusive to book chapters and published authors. Please take advantage of this opportunity.

Please enjoy many chapters cataloged by ILLUMINATION.

If you have questions or need clarification, please leave a comment on this story or contact me on ILLUMINATION’S Slack workspace.

Writers who want to be published authors might check this guide.

Here are my samples to help you customize your book index.

You can create a similar template I present in the following sections.

I enjoy sharing my books with Medium members allowing them to read for free without purchasing them.

Book Chapters by Dr Mehmet Yildiz

Book 1 — Powerful Life-Changing Hacks That Truly Transformed My Life

Introduction to the Book

The purpose of this book is to share what I learnt and practiced recently to transform myself using multiple angles in my approach. The emphasis is on the small changes which made a significant impact on this journey. The small changes presented in this book became a tipping point for me. Even though they look small and uninteresting from the outside, turning them into habits and combining them with each other made a remarkable life transformation. I want to share the reasons behind trying these changes with no shame and explain how these changes helped me genuinely, using several examples from my personal life. As the book is about my functional changes, I use the first-person narration of conversational language rather than a formal style. I deliberately did not provide any citations to keep the book simple to read and comprehend. I know from my experience that cluttered citations in these practical books bore and turn off the readers. Unusually, this book’s focus is on me as a person who has tested several approaches based on trial and error and input from developing research. However, while writing, I thought about you as my audience to simplify my thoughts and add an order to my madness to make sense and add value to your life. So the focus of this book is You and I. In this book, I don’t make any recommendations on purpose. The reasons for this is that I aim to share my experience sincerely, without any hype or any motives other than a utilitarian perspective and charitable goals.

Book 2 — Digital Intelligence

Introduction to the Book

I authored this book because dealing with intelligence and the digital world is my passion and fascination. I share my passion and fascination with you. My goal is to provide compelling ideas and unique ways to increase, enhance, and deepen our digital intelligence and awareness and apply them to our digital business journey, particularly for modernization and transformation initiatives. I used a coherent architectural thinking approach as the primary framework to structure my thoughts and convey important and necessary information. Based on my thought leadership on various digital transformation and modernization engagements, my goal is to share my experience in a concise book, aiming to add value to the body of knowledge with the accumulated knowledge, skills, and capabilities I’ve developed from these experiences. Rest assured, this is not a theory and a scholarly book. I designed it as a practical reference covering lessons learned from fundamental enterprise transformation and modernization initiatives in large corporate environments. I made every effort to make this book concise, uncluttered, and easy-to-read by removing technical jargon for a broader audience who want to enhance digital intelligence and awareness, especially for business.

Book 3— On the Cusp of the Artificial Intelligence Revolution

I used a different format for this book as some authors like to present their books without pictures.

Introduction to the Book

My purpose is to introduce the remarkable benefits of AI and create a new view of AI by looking at it from a fresh perspective.

I want to reflect on insights from behind the doors of AI solutions. I invite my audience to become friends with AI services and offerings by informing them of critical knowledge.

This book aims to introduce the key points and reflect on the true nature of AI. I suggest seeing AI as a new tool to extend and enhance our capabilities. Not as a replacement for human intelligence and virtues.

Covering a broad scope, I touch on many aspects, including individuals and professions like business people, educators, learners, healthcare professionals, and overall society.

I particularly add the disciplines of business, education, and health to the equation because the way we do business and how we learn will dramatically change. Likewise, the way we heal might change too.

Book 3 — A Modern Enterprise Architecture Approach

Introduction to the Book

My purpose to author this book was to provide essential guidance, compelling ideas, and unique ways to Enterprise Architects so that they could successfully perform complex enterprise modernization initiatives transforming them from chaos to coherence.

This is not a theory book describing Enterprise Architecture in detail. There are myriad books on the market and in libraries discussing details of enterprise architecture.

These resources are all valuable and serve different purposes. My aim in this book is to highlight key success factors for Enterprise Architects and reflect on lessons learned from the field, especially in the enterprise modernization and digital transformation context.

As a practicing Enterprise Architect, myself, I read hundreds of enterprise architecture books, articles, conference proceedings, and academic papers to learn different viewpoints. Those resources have been valuable to me to establish my foundations in the earlier phase of my profession.

However, what is missing now is a concise practical book showing Enterprise Architects the novel approaches, insights from real-life experience, agile experimentation, design thinking practice, and pointing out the differentiating technologies which are critical for enterprise modernization and digital transformation initiatives.

If only there were such a guide when I started engaging in modernization and digital transformation programs.

Book 4— The Power of Digital Affiliate Marketing

I used another indexing style to give the authors an idea. I used the book covers.

Introduction to the Book

I authored this book for a specific audience: freelance writers, including published and indie authors, bloggers, and other content creators because affiliate marketing can be a godsend for them. This book will make affiliate marketing so easy to understand that you can succeed if you apply the knowledge in it.

If you are a freelance writer, blogger, or some sort of content developer, you’ve most likely heard about the term affiliate marketing. The concept of affiliate marketing is old, but online affiliate marketing, which is the scope of this book, is new.

Whеn уоu ѕеаrсh for аffіlіаtе mаrkеtіng in any search engine, уоu mіght bесоmе оvеrwhеlmеd with the results. You may see a plethora of entries covering a myriad of angles to affiliate marketing.

It is a new industry and snowballing. From my experience, аffіlіаtе mаrkеtіng is simply the рrасtісе оf mаrkеtіng a brаnd or a company’s рrоduсtѕ and services in еxсhаngе for a соmmіѕѕіоn.

Business organizations create the program and invite affiliates to participate. Then, thе affiliates choose whісh рrоduсtѕ they want tо promote аnd proceed to еаrn a соmmіѕѕіоn frоm every ѕаlе or referral they mаkе.

I wrote three articles for writers as a supplement.

Guidance to New Writers on Medium

I also provided guidance on saving time for writing and increasing reads on Medium.

I Interview writers to create visibility.

I created “Writing Prompts and Challenges”. Our prolific writers might consider joining these writing challenges to find new readers and increase their reading times.

If writers participate in these challenges, they might increase their chance of becoming top writers in three months.
