Dear Subscribers,

Today, I recorded and posted a video to YouTube to provide an update on my gaming activities in September. I hope you enjoy this short video. If you don’t have access to YouTube, I provide the transcript of the video below.

Thank you for your feedback and support.

Transcript of the Video

Dear YouTubers and Gamers

Sorry I couldn't post videos last month as my focus was writing about gaming and related news on Medium. I joined the one-story-per-day challenge. It allowed me to post 30 stories in September.

It was a helpful activity. While informing my readers, I also gained new followers. Unfortunately, my stats were a bit low, but I hope they will improve this month as I plan to post 30 more stories.

I also spent a lot of time helping Illumination Integrated Publications, supporting 16 thousand of writers on Medium. I reviewed and published stories of their writers. While doing this, I learned a lot. It is a free service but great for education.

Another activity for me is to answer inquiries about my new publication, Illumination Gaming, on Medium. We use the Slack Workspace of Illumination to communicate. I am pleased to meet many new writers in this workspace. This platform is free for members and monitored by moderators of the publications.

My aim is to create a collaborative atmosphere for gamers on Medium and YouTube. I am also grateful that numerous editors volunteered to help me publish and promote stories submitted to my publication.

I published several personal stories about gaming experiences. In addition, there were some posts about current and upcoming games, including announcements made by developers. I enjoyed them very much.

One of the trending topics on Medium is about gaming platforms like Twitch and YouTube and app stores/ launchers like Steam and Epic Games. If you are into these platforms, you can join my publication.

Recently I read many articles sharing tips and tricks regarding the quality of life features on different platforms to make content creation easier.

I enjoy supporting writers who share tips to grow gaming channels and improve their streaming setup.

I noticed a remarkable trend in posts about how NFTs are being brought into the gaming world, virtual reality, or augmented reality gaming platforms.

My favorite stories were about upcoming technology offerings that will potentially reshape how we play games.

I will continue writing about gaming introducing new consoles and different gaming platforms, new and innovative controller types, and input methods.

One of my goals is to introduce different apps and programs that allow gamers to form a community and interact with each other outside the game, for example, platforms such as discord.

If these topics resonate with you, I’d be delighted to support your content if you join my publication on Medium.

I aim to create a community of practice for Medium and YouTube game projects. I will include interviews with popular gamers, gaming videos, and podcasts attached to short-form stories. They are excellent tools to amplify longer content and videos.

If you are interested in sharing your stories on ILLUMINATION Gaming, you might send a writer request to join the publication via a weblink link that I attach in the description section of this video. Thank you for watching this video.

I look forward to reading and promoting your stories in Illumination Gaming publication on Medium. Have a good one.

Please feel free to join this writing challenge. I will continue by posting a story a day. I’d love to read your stories on this initiative.

Last month, I posted another video on YouTube about my new gaming publication on Medium. I believe you might find it helpful if you are into gaming. My goal was to invite video gamers to join my publication as writers or readers. Please check the link to the video on Illumination’s YouTube Channel. I look forward to collaborating with gamers and YouTubers on Medium.

If you don’t have access to YouTube, you might find the content in the transcript of the video in the attached post.

I’d appreciate your feedback and participation in this exciting initiative. My aim is to bring gaming writers and readers to one place on Medium.

In addition to supporting Illumination as a volunteer editor, I am the owner and editor of two publications on Medium. One is for YouTubers, and another one is for gamers.

I write about gaming and social media topics. You might check out some of my stories that might be interesting to you.
