When you are writing on Medium, having a publication of your own is a good marketing strategy for your name. I love writing here on Medium, and I am interested in a lo to f things. So, I have seven publications. One of them is “The Earth Guide”.

Dr Mehmet Yildiz challenged us again. This time marketing our own publications. He is so generous by giving us space in his publication, and let us promote our own work, publication, and even when it is not written in ILLUMINATION. I love that. That is why I write here because it is a very warm writing family.

The purpose of the publication

At the About page I wrote: “All topics related to earth will be shown in this guide.” I am fond of our earth. We have to be careful with our earth and we have to think about everything to make our earth better, and especially more sustainable.

Writing stories that have everything to do with nature, earth, world related sustainably issues makes us think about it and we can teach each other about it too. We can learn from the stories, it can be personal stories, business stories, and everything in between.

Publication scope

The Earth Guide has 11 writers, one editor, and 10 followers. The number may get higher. I believe there are so many more writers who want to write here on The Earth Guide.

The target audience

The target for this publication is to have at least ten more writers, ten more followers, and ten more stories written by others than me, next month.

How to write for this publication

I made a submission page on The Earth Guide. Follow the instructions written on the submissions page, then I will add you as a writer.

Links and samples

In this piece, I explained why we should do something about sustainability. I think it is worth it because we explore so much more about our earth.

Desiree Driesenaar wrote an amazing piece about connecting to nature and how fun it is. I love her view on the topic. I love to walk into nature, taking the leaves from the ground, and throw it in the air.

I am fond of walking through the woods. Just in nature. It does a lot with me when I walk through the woods. It gives me peace somehow. This influence of nature is one thing I admire nature gives to us when we give them our love. Giving that love to nature is walking.

One of the things I do is bringing my own to-go mug with me when I am traveling. Then I don’t have to throw away the plastic cups. That will get into the oceans and I don’t want the sea animals to eat all that plastic.

Patrick Kuklinski wrote a piece about vulture culture to give dead animals a new purpose. I don’t know if that is my thing, but some people do like this. Take a look at his piece.

I love the winter setting. All that snow, all the hot chocolates and all the warm cozy sweaters, sitting on the couch enjoying the winter movies. Nothing better for me. But first, walking through the snow, making snowballs and have a snowball fight, and making your imperfect snowman. Give me the best white winter you have. And you should be in the snow more often. The cold weather is better for your skin too.

Who doesn't like apples? I love them. But I didn't know there were so many apples. I example a few that are most common and some I didn't know they even existed.
