ILLUMINATION Writers Content Strategy
Updates from ILLUMINATION
We dream it, we wish it, we do it [together].

My daily motto today
As we know, success cannot find us. We have to go out and get it. The harder we work for something, the greater we can feel when we achieve it.
My purpose in this post is to provide a quick update of our activities and achievements today so that we align and unite for achieving our collective goals and objectives. We are diverse, open, diligent, and transparent writer’s community.
We write, we share, we extend each others’ messages for better insights.
We had another joyful and productive day as ILLUMINATION community.
ILLUMINATION Facebook page
We achieved our first activity of populating all our articles to Facebook .
The first volunteer was Sylvia Love Johnson who entered the articles in our daily distribution list to the ILLUMINATION Facebook page. I liked all articles. My test revealed that it takes only five minutes to like the articles. If we all like all articles each day our writers can have tremendous external visibility. Let’s make this a community habit.
Our second volunteer is Tree Langdon ♾️. Tree is an experienced writer and Facebook administrator. Tomorrow, Tree will be entering all our articles to our Facebook page. All you need to do is like them.
Publication Maintenance
I redesigned the page for scalability. It can handle demands now.
In addition, I conducted a comprehensive audit of the activities.
I started adding Editors back. We have more editors added for administration perspective today. We are back to business as usual. We did not cause any delays publishing our hundreds of articles today. Our writers are happy.
Personas
I shared my bad experience by fake emails attacking myself and our community members. I updated the article to align with Medium policies. The flow of article changed but the key messages are still available. We all can learn from this lesson. Thank you for your insightful comments.
There were also new interesting comments on my article but they seemed to be deleted. Most of the insightful responses are still there.
The attacks continue but since we know the emails are fake it is not difficult to deal with them. Let’s all be careful for phishing and social engineering activities.
The best technique I learnt is to block the offensive accounts. It can be a great relief if you are being harassed. I am glad Medium has provided this fantastic feature. It saved me a lot of time in the last couple of days. Distractions magically disappeared.
New Writers
Several new writers joined and started submitting their articles to ILLUMINATION.
We had many inquiries on our FAQ and via my inquiries link.
There are fantastic writers which I added to our curation list today.
Please connect with these new writers and make them feel at home.
Each writer adds a unique value. With the addition of new writers, our synergy and fusion capabilities are getting stronger each day.
Curation List
We have more topics, more poetry, and more fiction today.
Here is our curation list for your enjoyment and enjoyment of our 3600+ readers.
Writer Introductions
We have over 60 writer introductions in the attached file. My aim is to share this list with our 3500+ readers. To increase visibility of our writers, I recommend each writer to create an introduction article using the sample in the attached file.
Talking of introductions, two writers introduced themselves.
