Invitation to Join ILLUMINATION
This article aims to invite inspiring writers from diverse backgrounds to a brand new publication, ILLUMINATION, aiming to create a new collaborative content culture with cross-pollination.
As an avid reader, I am excited to explore fascinating writers and outstanding content on Medium. The Medium ecosystem is great and could be better with our positive ownership, collaborative responsibility, and proactive leadership. We can contribute to the transformation of this platform collaboratively and creatively. Our collective aim is to be an innovation catalyst for a transformed content ecosystem.
There are apparent and growing concerns raised by several great writers who are unhappy with the curation process. The shared belief and sentiment are that the current curation process seems subjective and not supportive of the visibility of valuable content to a broader audience. As a result, some writers feel abandoned, ignored, and about to give up writing on this platform. We need to prevent this as this is a valuable platform.
There may be reasons that we have yet to explore process issues, but in the meantime, to address the known symptoms of this vital concern, I propose a publication that we can use to collaboratively grow and amplify our content innovatively using our collective resources.
The primary purpose of this publication is to publish types of articles that the authors believe ought to have been curated but, for some reason, were not distributed in topics.
Our new initiative can be an opportunity to showcase these valuable articles in a single source. This publication will be an alternative curation source for valuable, high-impact, and quality content.
I empathize with these valuable writers because some of my high-impact articles based on proven experience — which can raise awareness and add value to society — were not distributed in topics.
They appear to be immediately rejected by the system without even going to the curators, as discussed in an article recently.
Besides, there is no point in being upset about the process as it is not possible and reasonable to control curators’ subjective tastes.
We focus on the points within our control. As a virtual, united writers-and-readers group, we illuminate insights and distinguish our content with smart work and flow.
The best approach is to take control of the visibility of our content and help each other amplify it using smart techniques and effective tools.
I am committed to helping as a reviewer for the content in my expertise areas. We developed a team of reviewers to help each other. Feedback is essential to improve quality.
Here is a summary of my plan for this publication.
Vision
My vision for ILLUMINATION is to be among the top 10 publications from visibility perspectives internally and externally within 12 months with collaborative and concerted effort.
Strategy
My primary strategy is to curate insightful content from diverse writers appealing to a wide range of content consumers on Medium and other platforms.
I plan to create a review team to improve the quality of articles for extended distributions in various prominent science, technology, art, business, health, mental health, lifestyle, fitness, self-improvement, and other quality content forums and platforms.
We will develop a supportive culture based on fusion principles, reciprocity, an act of kindness, and mentoring. Share content in innovative ways in the Medium ecosystem.
We will use agile collaboration tools, e.g., Slack, and multiple social media platforms, e.g., Linkedin, Twitter, Facebook, Quora, Reddit, and Pinterest, to distribute externally and bring more Medium subscribers.
Content Domains
Science, Technology, Philosophy, Business, Poetry, Fiction, Personal Experience. Articles will be archived under these categories after initial visibility. This approach can make the publication a knowledge source.
Facilitation
We assign multiple editors from various geographies to publish submitted articles on a timely basis.
I commit to guiding to increase the visibility of articles using various techniques and tools.
If you want to be a writer or an editor, please indicate your interest as a response to this article. Then, I will add you as a contributor.
Please extend this invitation to other writers who may be interested in participating in this content transformation activity using ILLUMINATION.
