Monthly Collection from ILLUMINATION-Curated
March 2024: Collection of Boosted Stories from ILLUMINATION Publications — V6
Presenting well-crafted and impactful stories for avid readers, inspiring new writers with samples, introducing our curation services, and new writers joining us recently
Non-members can read this story for free via our friend link.
Dear readers and writers, Happy Easter! It is already the end of March so in this post, we present many new boosted stories in March 2024 and lin to the ones before, curated through nominations of our chief editor Dr Mehmet Yildiz and boost nominator, Aiden (Illumination Gaming), supported by consulting editors from ILLUMINATION publications. Boosted stories are special as they are amplified by Medium as exceptional pieces.
We compiled this list as our readers, especially Friends of Medium, requested to have curated collections and boosted stories. These exceptional stories are valuable because they were edited/nominated by our editors and accepted by curators on Medium. Please share the friend links so that more readers join Medium.
Writers can learn more about our curation and boosting services from the attached story penned by Dr Mehmet Yildiz answering frequently asked questions clearly and comprehensively. We provide a friend link so anyone can read.
We invite all non-members to become members to support our writers, as articulated by Dr Yildiz in the attached story. The key point is that by just paying a $5 monthly subscription fee to Medium, you can significantly speed up building your audience and contribute to the earnings of your fellow writers. It will be a win-win in the end.
This curated collection aims to present readers with well-crafted/impactful stories and inspire our writers by providing them with sample-boosted stories meeting or exceeding the distribution criteria. We also introduce our curation and featuring service for non-boosted stories. You can meet the new writers whose profiles are linked at the end of this post.
Most of the boosted stories are hosted on ILLUMINATION-Curated, a distinctive publication hosting and spotlighting high-quality, memorable, relatable, and insightful stories from talented writers covering 100+ topics since 2020. This publication is designed to host the stories of experienced and accomplished writers.
Medium made significant changes in 2023. To this end, our chief editor provided guidance showing our publishing strategy aligning with Medium’s direction for 2024. Strategic Changes on Medium in 2023: How I Adapted to the New Strategy.
As of October 2023, ILLUMINATION-Curated has started nominating stories for boosting. You can learn details from an interview with Dr Mehmet Yildiz conducted by ILLUMINATION editors. How ILLUMINATION Publications Support the BOOST Program
Many new writers join our publications and wish to understand the criteria to write for ILLUMINATION-Curated. Unlike our other publications, this one only serves experienced writers as its loyal readers desire. For those interested, we have detailed submission guidelines.
After reviewing the guidelines, if you believe our service resonates with you, please contact Dr. Yildiz on ILLUMINATION’s Slack workspace. He will give you writer access. He also mentors many writers to increase their chances of boosting on Medium.
A Brief Intro to our Pubs
Approximately 80% of our applicants belong to the middle category, making them valuable contributors to ILLUMINATION. We then distribute the workload evenly between Readers Hope and ILLUMINATION-Curated, managing both ends of the spectrum.
We start absolute beginners with Readers Hope, then allow them to tap into a broader audience via ILLUMINATION and our special publications like Synergy, Mirror, Book Chapters, Technology Hits, Gaming, Videos/Podcasts, and Nutrition. Then, we select writers who consistently submit high-quality stories to be added to ILLUMINATION-Curated.
ILLUMINATION Gaming is a Boost Nominating Publication on Medium. Our hardworking editor and also the owner of the gaming publication Aiden (Illumination Gaming) manage this special pub.
Aiden began featuring writers by analyzing their stories and educating our writers about common patterns that boosted those stories. Here are the first two in his series:
Lessons Learned from Boosted Stories — Episode #1 Dr Mehmet Yildiz
Lessons Learned from Boosted Stories — Episode #2 Matt Williams-Spooner, Ph.D.
Lessons Learned from Boosted Stories : Episode #3 — Joan Naidorf
Lessons Learned from Boosted Stories : Episode #4 Jozsef Kovacs
We look forward to your stories in all our publications, and we will choose well-crafted, memorable, and impactful stories through our nominators. In addition, Medium curators also organically boosted hundreds of stories from ILLUMINATION, which we plan to share in another collection.
We introduce writers who have recently joined us at the end of this post.
We added 150 new writers who were keen to join us today. We introduced them at the end of this list so you may start exploring their profiles.
For new writers, any story submitted to ILLUMINATION-Curated must align with Medium’s distribution and boosting guidelines like any other publications in our management. Furthermore, we emphasize that the content should resonate with the discerning readership of this publication.
We value diversity and variety, which means there are no topic restrictions as long as the stories adhere to Medium’s policies and our values.
Currently, we cover over 100 topics, emphasizing substance and meaningful content for our readers. We expect to cater to more topics as our writers and readers propose.
We do not censor content as long as stories comply with Medium’s guidelines.
Please review our submission guidelines and comprehensive checklist before sending your high-impact and well-articulated stories to ILLUMINATION-Curated.
New Writers: Enhance the Chance of Boosting By Using This Checklist
Since Medium now requires paid membership for the Partner Program, we will also include stories of members for this publication to maintain our high standards and commitment to our loyal readers. However, our other publications still support non-members.
Except for the Lampshade of ILLUMINATION, our publications don’t accept AI-generated content. You may learn about our AI writing policy.
In addition to Medium’s distribution guidelines, ILLUMINATION-Curated has established a specific set of criteria to enhance the quality of publications.
We aim for high quality but don’t insist on perfection. We are practical and believe every writer can improve with feedback from readers, editors, and peers. Our goal is to provide our subscribers with a pleasant and satisfying reading experience.
One of the goals of our publications is to create a collaborative atmosphere and increase engagement rates as much as possible by mingling writers and readers, especially Friends of Medium subscribers who support our writers dearly. If you don’t enjoy collaboration (meaningful engagement with readers and writers), you may miss an opportunity with the large audience we created (since 19 March 2020).
Supporting Friends of Medium Subscribers
One of our goals to create curated collections is to support Friends of Medium, who follow our publications. Dr Mehmet Yildiz wrote about the value of this program and shared his vision, strategy, and tactics to support these members. They contribute to the income of our writers four times more than other members. You may review his stories to gain insights.
Importance and Value of Medium Friendship for Writers and Readers
Celebrating My Reading Anniversary with My Upgraded Subscription to New Medium Friendship
How do we promote non-boosted stories?
As we mentioned before, only around 1% of stories are boosted by Medium, but we still publish thousands of excellent stories delighting our loyal readers. Besides sharing on social media, our editors also create curated collections, presenting them to our readers.
As publications thrive with collaboration, we initially introduce you to our readers and other writers via our curated collections when writers join because it is an excellent opportunity to meet some of our writers, and you may collaborate with the ones who resonate with you.
Apart from ILLUMINATION editors, other editors like Mike Broadly, DHSc, Aiden (Illumination Gaming), Elin Melaas, The Sturg, and secondary account of Dr Mehmet Yildiz (Tech) prepare curated collections for our readers. We link their latest one so you may get an idea. They may tag you in their upcoming stories to introduce you to our readers.
Our volunteer editors and curators offer various types of curation services.
Dr Mehmet Yildiz also encouraged all Friends of Medium to start sharing friend links on our tailored social media platform. We interviewed him, asked how to achieve this goal, and provided a script in a bulletin.
He also interviews our writers and promote their top stories.
Please be careful with growing scams and spam accounts on Medium. Today ILLUMINATION editors posted an important bulletin to inform you.
As you may have heard/read, Medium recently suspended many accounts that were involved in fraudulent activities. A few of them were accidental, and Medium restored them, but there are people selling claps, highlights, and guaranteed reads to increase income through Fiverr or other sites. Please don’t fall into that trap, as they are illegal, and Medium monitors them. You can read the details in our latest bulletin. Please share it with your writer friends to protect them.
Please also review the new partner program rules that Medium published recently. We simplified them for you.
Please enjoy our boosted stories from ILLUMINATION-Curated.
