A New Publication on Medium
Invitation to “ILLUMINATION on YouTube” Publication on Medium
An introduction to a new publication as part of Illumination Integrated Publications. All Medium writers and YouTubers are welcome to join!

“ILLUMINATION on YouTube” Publication
ILLUMINATION Integrated Publications has a brand-new and a unique publication on a special topic. The name of the new publication is ILLUMINATION on YouTube.
With the support of our chief editor Dr Mehmet Yildiz, this publication was established and owned by the Illumination YouTube Coordinator. All writers and YouTubers are welcome to join this new publication.
This publication aims to create a bridge between YouTubers and Medium writers using our YouTube channel and seven prominent publications. Many YouTubers are also bloggers, and we believe that Medium is an excellent platform for them to tap into a new audience.
Likewise, many Medium writers want to use YouTube as a platform to reach out to a broader audience. Our goal is to become a conduit for these two types of content developers. We thought this publication would bring YouTubers and Medium writers to one place and create synergy.
In addition to regular stories, writers can also submit short-form stories of around 150 words. They can write a few short paragraphs introducing their YouTube videos and creating links to their channels. While writers can earn income from their stories on Medium, they can also gain viewing times for their videos and acquire new subscribers for their YouTube channel. This approach will be a win-win for YouTubers and writers.

We invite all YouTubers to create writer profiles introducing their background and channels and submit them to this new publication. YouTubers can also submit video collections, including a series of videos from their channel. In addition, we will find ways to feature them on Medium and our social media platforms.
YouTubers and writers can use this new publication to inspire viewers and readers. All writers who write articles about YouTube are welcome to join our new publication. And all YouTubers who want to introduce their channels and write stories about YouTube are welcome to join our publication. This is an excellent opportunity to create synergy by collaborating and using the power of these two large and synergistic platforms.
Why ILLUMINATION Focus on YouTube

YouTube is the second largest search engine after Google. In Fact, it is owned and powered by Google. YouTube is a global network. You can find celebrities, artists, writers, entrepreneurs, leaders, educators, entertainers, and many more professionals. They use YouTube to gain broader visibility and growth of their business. It is possible to find almost everything on YouTube.
Illumination established a YouTube channel in 2020. Some writers contributed their videos, and we featured them. However, we made YouTube one of our strategic platforms for the growth of our writers in 2022.
We have started small and grown iteratively on YouTube. We have a clear plan to make it a large channel attracting a broad audience with the help of our community volunteers.
We recommend each writer record a high-quality video introducing themselves with appealing photos. Writers can also present their articles with interesting photos, animation, and music. You can read your poems or parts of your articles, providing the link on the screen with big fonts. You can add some background music. In addition, published authors can introduce their books.
Quality is important on YouTube. So, we highly recommend using a high-resolution camera. If you can afford to get your videos done professionally, it can be an excellent investment for the marketing of your writing career. YouTube is a fantastic opportunity for our writers to promote their artistic capabilities.
Writers can use YouTube videos for multi-purposes. For example, you can write stories about your videos and submit them to our new publication. You can attach your videos to your Medium articles for internal promotion. You can tweet your videos attaching your Medium affiliate link to attract new members. There are many more possibilities. In short, a single video can be used for several purposes.
