Transcript of the Video

Hello writers and readers,

Thank you for your valuable feedback in my video introducing Illumination Integrated Publications. I am glad you found it helpful.

In this short video, I want to introduce the value of YouTube for writers and readers and provide a few quick tips on how you can leverage our free services.

For those who don’t know me yet, my name is Aidan. And I am the new YouTube coordinator for the Illumination channel. I come from a media background, and now I am learning blogging and writing. I plan to join Medium soon to share my content on media studies, especially in creating YouTube videos.

As you may know, YouTube is a powerful platform for creators from various backgrounds. I also believe that writers, editors, and readers can use YouTube to creatively promote their profiles and content to a broader audience. YouTube has millions of viewers and growing rapidly.

I am pleased that Dr Mehmet Yildiz, the chief editor of Illumination Integration Publications on Medium, established this YouTube channel for our writers, editors, readers. His vision is to introduce our writers to millions of viewers on YouTube. He believes that writers need visibility to become successful in their practice.

I have just noticed that various writers posted profile introductions, stories, and poems to our channel. I encourage all our writers, editors, and readers to introduce themselves.

This channel can get many viewers if we post engaging and high-quality videos. Therefore, I volunteer to help you create great videos and post them to our channel.

I joined Illumination’s Slack channel today. Many thanks to Dr Yildiz for his invitation to his Slack workspace. You can contact me directly when you need help with YouTube.

You can also contact Dr Yildiz on Slack. He welcomes our writers to join this exciting journey and benefit from our services. You can let Dr Yildiz know if you want to be videoed. This is a free service to our contributing writers, editors, and readers. Please feel free to mention your services, such as books, blogs, and websites. We are happy to promote them for you.

I plan to help each member create a bio with some sample stories. Then, if you provide me with the details, such as your background, a few great photos, and brief introductions to your top three stories, I can create attractive videos for you.

You can send me this information via Slack. My handle name is Illumination YouTube Coordinator. I look forward to chatting with you and helping to post your profiles to our YouTube channel.

Thank you for watching. Please comment on this video. Your feedback is important to me to improve our services. Please remember to subscribe to our channel and share it with your friends who might be interested in our services. We provide links in the description section to get you started on our publications on Medium. Stay safe, and see you soon in another video.

Addendum — Video samples

I watched numerous videos submitted to our channel recently. They are impressive. I selected these three high-quality videos from our top writers using different presentation styles to give you some practical ideas.

The first one is by Michele Thill, who elegantly introduces herself to the writing and reading community.

The second one is by Jacquelyn Lynn who explains how to and why to use Medium to expand your audience, grow your email list, enhance your reputation, and earn income while you do it.

The third is a breathtaking video reading a curated poem by famous poet Deborah Barchi from her enticing voice. Medium curated several poems of Deborah published in our publications. I hope you enjoy this excellent presentation as much as other viewers did. I can help you create similar videos that can attract the attention of our subscribers.
