Curated Collection and Daily Updates

Look What Aiden Found Today — Episode #94

Favorite stories I read plus community-nominated pieces tailored for avid readers of ILLUMINATION Publications on Medium

Image designed by Aiden (Illumination Gaming)

Dear avid readers and prolific writers. Welcome to episode #94! Thank you for your feedback on the previous collection. Recently, we added 150+ new writers. Today, we added many new writers. You may start engaging with them. I am sorry I couldn’t create a collection yesterday due to some family commitments.

Today, while preparing this collection, I read a heartfelt testimonial from Dr Yildiz about Lanu Pitan, one of our editors and avid readers whose account was suspended. The story brought tears to eyes as he wrote it so well and we really miss Lanu. We wrote an editorial bulletin about the suspension issue a few days ago.

As this bulk account suspension is an important matter for the community, our chief editor, Dr Yildiz, wrote a story about it. You may share your thoughts on it as he showed empathy to victims but also highlighted the challenges of Medium.

Today, our editor Mike also wrote about it from a different angle.

I will give a few quick updates for new readers.

Recently he also introduced some of my favourite writers, Matt Lillywhite, Genius Turner, Shirley Willett and David Mokotoff, MD.

Interview with Matt Lillywhite

Interview with Genius Turner

Interview With Shirley Willett

Interview with Dr David Mokotoff, MD, a Retired Cardiologist

You may check his previous interviews from this collection.

As a relatively new boost nominator, the most impactful story for me was by Dr Mehmet Yildiz, my long-term mentor, posted. So far as I read hundreds and none of them answered these difficult and fundamental ones so clearly. So if you are interested in boost of your stories this one is a must-read definitely.

Yesterday, ILLUMINATION-Curators compiled all stories boosted in February. We are proud of them as we put a lot of effort into birthing them. Collection of Boosted Stories from ILLUMINATION Publications — V5

I also included 13 new boosted stories and linked older ones to give some flavor to our exceptional stories, mainly published on ILLUMINATION-Curated. Here is the link for interested readers and writers.

Weekly Update: Boosted Stories on ILLUMINATION-Curated (18–25 Feb, 2024)

Dr Mehmet Yildiz (Tech) sent an update of Technology Hits publications, including some stories published in February. Technology Hits Updates — February 2024

As a boost nominator, after introducing the boosted stories of Dr Joan Naidorf recently, I also covered the exceptional stories of Jozsef Kovacs as part of my boost education initiative to increase the chances of further distribution for our writers. I believe readers will enjoy reading these beautiful stories and aspiring writers like me learn from them. Lessons Learned from Boosted Stories : Episode #4

Our newsletter is ready. It was posted by the tech account of Dr Yildiz on Medium, and it is also on Substack now. Please share them on your socials. These newsletters provide monthly updates on our progress and can answer many of your questions, especially for new writers. Monthly Updates from ILLUMINATION Editorial Team: February 2024

For those who missed the heartfelt and inspiring open letter by Dr Yildiz inviting many non-members to become members, I suggest you engage and share it on your socials. I hope his story reaches a broad audience so we bring more readers as our views significantly drop.

Like me Mike Broadly, DHSc loves reading these interviews and he recently compiled the ones he read. Here is the link to his beautiful collection.

As I mentioned before, every engagement and share can increase our collective chance for visibility. Please don’t underestimate the power of your engagement and shares of these stories. The goal of my collections is to increase reading times and engagement for these stories. So please choose a few pieces that are interesting to you and support these writers.

You may check out (avid reader and our senior curator) Mike’s captivating collections as an avid reader and a proud FoM contributing to the earnings of our writers.

He also compiled boosted stories he read.

Another hardworking editor The Sturg started curated collection. Please take a look at his excellent collection.

Recently, I updated this piece which aims to inspire writers to post their bios as our readers love them as they keep asking me more personal stories like in this collection. I look forward to reading and promoting your writer biographies. Meet ILLUMINATION Writers from Their Personally Penned Biographies

ILLUMINATION-Curators create a new collection for our Reading Club. It is full of engaging stories. ILLUMINATION Reading Club #8

Invitation to Upgrade for Friends of Medium

I hope many more avid readers upgrade their subscriptions. These avid readers have good reasons like me. If you are an avid reader and can afford to consider upgrading your subscription by taking the plunge like many early adopters whom I introduced you to in this story.

I Took the Plunge and Became a Friend of Medium (FoM) Yesterday.

Why I Became a Friend of Medium

ILLUMINATION editors interviewed Dr Yildiz on how Friends of Medium can share links on out tailored social media platforms. I tried them, and sharing these stories took only 10 minutes. I hope they bring many new readers to Medium. We all need to attract more readers to make this platform more vibrant and sustainable.

Our editors and curators also explained how we promote non-boosted stories, which are more than 99%, so I take a significant role in this process to create visibility for such stories. Thanks, everyone, for the support that keeps me trucking on this fabulous journey.

During my breaks, I wrote a few short stories around 3 minutes read to remember writing. I hope you enjoy them.

Daily List for Sharing — Volume 94

I volunteered to create a list of this collection. So you can easily share this collection on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Reddit, or Quora. You can find all our sharing platforms from this story link by Dr Yildiz.

Please note that, “these stories are a combination of what I enjoyed and those which nominated by volunteering editors (also writers and readers) on this platform, so the stories in this collection reflect their collective tastes. As a publication, ILLUMINATION keeps a neutral position for all published stories, and it is impossible to feature over one million published stories. But we will do our best to amplify as many great stories as possible almost daily from now on based on the availability of our volunteers.”

Here are our wonderful and nominated stories today! I believe you will find something that will satisfy your reading needs.

Dr Yildiz also wrote about it to invite our readers to become Medium Friends and support our writers. The more FoMs the merrier. Importance and Value of Medium Friendship for Writers and Readers

But scammers spammed his beautiful story and tried to deceive our readers. Here’s his sad and important story: every writer and reader needs to understand and act cautiously. They act too realistically! Scam and Spam Accounts on Medium Are As Bad As Hate Speech and Defamation for Writers

How to Identify Them? These fraudulent accounts typically lack followers and haven’t authored any stories themselves. They are non-members with no star or heart icons in their profile names. Urgent Notice: Beware of Fake Accounts Impersonating Influential Writers

If you are into gaming, I also wrote about winners of 2023 for popular games. I will introduce some of those games in my forthcoming stories for game lovers. The Winners of The Game Awards 2023 Have Been Announced

Talking of gaming, if you plan to craft stories about these remarkable games, consider submitting them to my publication, ILLUMINATION-Gaming. I’m here to elevate your narratives, ensuring they stand out and increasing their chances of a boost. I wrote about my goals and how I can help our writers in a story titled ILLUMINATION Gaming Is Part of the Boost Program Now.

To inform new writers, our special publication, ILLUMINATION-Curated, now is a boost nominating pub You may learn about How ILLUMINATION Publications Support the BOOST Program.

I’ve bundled up all my lists into one tidy little story. It is a treasure trove of fantastic reads waiting for you. Please consider sharing the love on your socials and dive into these gems! You won’t regret it.

For those who missed my Vocal saga, here is the link. I hope new writers don’t make the same mistake I made for 18 months. Here’s How I Miserably Failed Vocal Media But Have No Regrets

ILLUMINATION-Curators compiled boosted stories in December, so you might find some fascinating stories from this collection. I also chose to publish this collection on ILLUMINATION-Curated as our readers enjoy curated collections. Here is their treasure trove: Collection of Boosted Stories from ILLUMINATION-Curated

ILLUMINATION-Curators wrote about that exceptional story. I hope you will get a chance to read it and pay attention to your privacy. An Exceptional Story on Privacy Every Reader May Find Helpful

Our chief editor Dr Mehmet Yildiz, upgraded our publication accounts ILLUMINATION and ILLUMINATION-Curators, as well as his tech account Dr Mehmet Yildiz (Tech), making them Friends of Medium. Reading from these accounts will allow writers to earn four times more. While curating stories, we read many stories from these accounts, so it will be great for writers. Details are in his story by Dr Mehmet Yildiz (Tech): Why I Became a Friend of Medium

Today, I was busy as it was the last public holiday in Australia. I helped with onboarding around 100 new writers, so I was able to find around 60 great pieces and listed them.

As I grappled with the hedonistic treadmill pursuing money and fame, which eventually led to burnout, Dr. Yildiz’s a story deeply resonated with me. It offers valuable insights that can shift perspectives on material possessions and money, perhaps even making it easier to integrate money effortlessly into our lives. Why I No Longer Chase Money & How I Escaped Hedonic Treadmill to Find True Joy

The cloning machine struck again, attempting to cast its shady duplicates in my blockbuster movie. But let me clarify — even if they get down on their knees and beg, these scammers won’t be snagging a role in my soon-to-be award-winning cinematic masterpiece. Yay, I Was Cloned Again but I Know the Scammer Will Kick the Bucket Soon.

I learned that scammers targeted Mike’s beautiful curated collections again after 5th time spamming all the readers pretending to be him. But this time, they used sophisticated methods that Mike revealed in a masterpiece. I think those scammers have no clue that Mike is a seasoned professional and will not allow them to win. That dubious writing club might kick the bucket soon. Battling Scams: My Heartfelt Struggle Against 5 Medium Attacks in a Week, Unveiling Their Latest Tricks

One of our consulting editors, David B. Grinberg 🇺🇸, wrote an interesting story about the critically important reasons why Medium should be more transparent with users about these phishing scams. Why Medium Should Be Transparent about Clone Phishing Attacks.

During our conversations, I gained a deeper understanding of Dr Yildiz’s challenges, and I hope those who sometimes take our volunteer service for granted read this story. Running these Medium publications is no walk in the park. I believe that it’s not all roses and rainbows in the editorial team.

A Rollercoaster of My Saturday: Challenges, Surprises, and Joyful Insights

As I curated these gems, I encountered numerous “aha” moments — some inducing fits of laughter, others coaxing tears, all painting my journey with vivid emotions. I’m excited to pass on these emotional roller coasters to you, hoping they’ll add a sprinkle of joy or even a smidgen of uncontrollable giggles to your day. Enjoy the ride.

ILLUMINATION editors created an important bulletin for increasing spam, scam, and bot accounts, contaminating the platform and causing grief to writers and readers. Please be careful as I was cloned and felt bad about it.

I read an interesting story from Dr Yildiz related to Mike’s story and his findings from the spammy topics pages.

The Reason I Didn’t Publish a Science and Health Article on Medium Today

Those who missed my Vocal saga can read it from this link. But I highly recommend the story of Dr Yildiz as it is concerning for new writers like me trying to make Medium our home.

Our newsletter for Illumination informing of our progress and plans was released on both Medium and on Substack. I link both so you can share with your relevant audience. Sharing is a wonderful community trait. Here’s the Substack version.

ILLUMINATION-Curators compiled and published the collection of boosted stories from ILLUMINATION-Curated. I believe you will find amazing stories from that collection. It is a labor of love between writers, editors, nominators, and Medium curators to delight our readers.

December 2023 was an excellent month for me. In addition, a story near and dear to my heart got a boost. Many thanks for the comments on this story: Gaming, Fun, and Humor: The Lifelines That Rescued Me From Social Media’s Grip on My Life.

I recently self-curated my monthly stories for my loyal readers and as a sample for fellow writers. I look forward the same success this month so I keep working hard. Please also check our strategic approach for 2024, which is aligned with Medium’s direction articulated by Dr Mehmet Yildiz, our chief editor.

He also mentioned that only 5% of his stories performed well in 2023 and other 95% hardly got any views.

Dr Yildiz also added many new writers during his holidays.

Please find his collections with the associated lists and share them on your socials so we can bring more readers to Medium. Here are links to Mike’s collections: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12, #13, #14, #15, #16

Dr Mehmet Yildiz reviewed an interesting book of Dr Emmanuel Ogamdi. If you are a book author, you may contact Dr Yildiz as he really does great reviews. He even wrote the foreword of my gaming book. Here is his great review today. “Nobody Will Tell You This”

As mentioned a few weeks ago, I created a Discord server for our writers to collaborate and share their story links, so you are all welcome to join. We already have great fun there. It is not as big as our Slack, but it will be one day, as Discord is a lot of fun.
