Daily Success Stories from ILLUMINATION

Practical Ways to Improve Reading Times

Joyful writers on ILLUMINATION serving thousands of readers

Image by silviarita from Pixabay

You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them. — Ray Bradbury

Dear writers,

One of my goals is to increase reading times for our writers. I enjoy trying creative ways to find more readers for the stories of our writers. I keep creating new techniques and approaches by interacting with our readers and understanding their requirements and expectations.

Today, I focused on creating visibility for our top writers and how we can use this feature on Medium. Some readers want to know about our top writers and want to follow content in their interest areas.

Here is a guiding story for this.

How to Write Content Guaranteed to Get Views and Reads

Let’s recognize the top writers of our publication.

Today, I worked on an idea to recognize our top writers and find ways to create visibility for their accomplishments.

I aim to identify all top writers writing for ILLUMINATION and create a single resource to share with our readers.

To achieve this goal, I need your help to let me know and comment on the attached story, pointing out the topics showing as top writer status in your profile.

Once you provide me with your details, I will categorize the topics and add your profiles under relevant topics.

This artifact is intended to be another valuable resource that we can provide to our readers to make their content search more convenient on this large platform. This will be a bit tedious task for me, but it is worth the effort.

Update on writing challenges and prompts

I have already received excellent feedback on the compilation of writing challenges and prompts, which was released yesterday.

Several writers started submitting stories related to challenges.

100 Day Challenge for New Writers to Shine on Medium

One of the challenges is theme-based stories. I proposed the term “jealousy” to write a story in my previous bulletin. I want to share these three great stories about jealousy. They appear to be a good candidate for topics.

I received postive feedback from readers on our self-assessed stories. I will share the sentiments in my upcoming bulletins.

Inspiration and Joy

I am pleased that the message in the story helped several affected writers to make the optimal decisions for their publishing options.

One of our top writers Paul Myers MBA was inspired by this story and created an insightful story trending in the leadership tag.

To ensure your stories are published on a timely basis, please provide the required credits to the photos and extracted information from other sources. This is the most common issue delaying some stories from being published. If you turn off your private messages, we have no other mechanism to reach out to you. If your article is not published within 24 hours, please contact me from this link.

There are several inquiries from new writers who want to know how to add stories to a publication. Please see the attached story providing step-by-step guidance on how to add stories to publication by Timothy Key.

ILLUMINATION Slack Channel

We created a writer collaboration platform using Slack. We have 419 members on Slack. I added several writers to our Slack channel today. Thank you for the inquiries and willingness to join our collaboration and innovation lab.

New writers are invited to join our Slack to have a chat and collaborate with other inspiring writers. We discuss editorial matters, Medium policies, content quality, and overall writing skills improvement.

You can request an invitation to Slack from this link.

Please type Request for Slack on the heading, as I receive many other requests from this link.

You can check this story from Timothy Key to learn how to use Slack if you haven’t used it before.

Please also check our process and procedures for further details on our publication.

250+ writers have introduced themselves in their stories so far. This is an opportunity for our writers to showcase their writing portfolios.

Please see the attached bio document as an example for creating your bios. Our readers are interested in our writers. If your bio is missing from this list, please leave a comment with your your story link.

Eight great stories were distributed to multiple topics on Medium today.

A story by Dr Viraaj Pannu was distributed to #health #lifestyle.

A story by Meghan Gause was distributed to #society #race #equality.

A story by Ryan Frawley was distributed to #psychology #self.

A story by Emily Kingsley was distributed to #society #self #parenting.

A story by Ankit Gupta was distributed to #science #datascience #work.

A story by Riku Arikiri was distributed to #relationships.

A poem by Riku Arikiri was distributed to #poetry.

As ILLUMINATION hosts an impressive number of high-quality stories distributed to the topics from our creative writers, I compiled those stories. I aim to create awareness for high-quality stories so that our new writers can leverage these excellent stories and model the styles so that they can improve their stories to increase the chance of curation by Medium curators. You can find the complete list in the attached story. I update it regularly.

Content Quality Focus

We strive for excellence. We make every effort to increase the quality of our stories and provide an enjoyable reading experience to our followers. Quality is an iterative process. I notice that the quality of our stories is increasing day by day. The curation rate increased.

We need to be proactive and maintain quality.

New writers: please ensure that you check your stories for typos, spelling, and grammar errors before submitting them to the publication. Our readers deserve high quality stories.

We have some volunteering editors who can perform proofreading for writers from non-English speaking backgrounds. You can search for volunteers from our Slack channel. One of the proofreading tools our writers recommend is Grammarly. There may be other applications that you can use to improve the readability of your stories.

We curate valuable content for our readers; we create awareness and visibility of our content to a wider audience. We also amplify Medium articles on social media to bring new readers and subscribers.

If you have already applied from different means and not added to the publication yet, please try again by directly writing to me. Some messages are easily lost on articles.

Several new top writers joined us. We now have 15,500+ writers. The more, the better for our diversity. We aim to appeal to millions by providing diverse and insightful content globally.

Sample Health Improvement Articles for New Readers

Besides aiming to increase the hormonal intelligence of my readers and writing about neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, GABA, and acetylcholine, one of my goals as a writer is to raise awareness about the causes and risk factors of prevalent diseases that can lead to suffering and death for a large portion of the population.

I aim to educate, create awareness, and empower my readers to take control of their health and well-being.

To raise awareness about health issues, I have written several articles that present my holistic health findings from research, personal observations, and unique experiences. Below are links to these articles for easy access.

Metabolic Syndrome, Type II Diabetes, Fatty Liver Disease, Heart Disease, Strokes, Obesity, Liver Cancer, Autoimmune Disorders, Homocysteine, Lungs Health, Pancreas Health, Kidneys Health, NCDs, Infectious Diseases, Brain Health, Dementia, Depression, Brain Atrophy, Neonatal Disorders, Skin Health, Dental Health, Bone Health, Leaky Gut, Leaky Brain, Brain Fog, Chronic Inflammation, Insulin Resistance, Elevated Cortisol, Leptin Resistance, Anabolic Resistance, Cholesterol, High Triglycerides, Metabolic Disorders, Gastrointestinal Disorders, and Major Diseases.

I also wrote about valuable nutrients. Here are the links for easy access:

Boron, Urolithin, taurine, citrulline malate, biotin, lithium orotate, alpha-lipoic acid, n-acetyl-cysteine, acetyl-l-carnitine, CoQ10, PQQ, NADH, TMG, creatine, choline, digestive enzymes, magnesium, zinc, hydrolyzed collagen, nootropics, pure nicotine, activated charcoal, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B1, Vitamin D, Vitamin K2, Omega-3 Fatty Acids, N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine, and other nutrients to improve metabolism and mental health.

Disclaimer: Please note that my posts do not include professional or health advice. I document my reviews, observations, experience, and perspectives only to provide information and create awareness.

I publish my lifestyle, health, and well-being stories on EUPHORIA. My focus is on metabolic, cellular, mitochondrial, and mental health. Here is my collection of Insightful Life Lessons from Personal Stories.
