Still Standing Out From the Crowd

It’s been 20 days since I started tracking our publication’s follower count, and it continues to show impressive growth. While several other publications also show growth in this 20 day period, none are putting up numbers like ILLUMINATION.

As of today we have grown 60.3%, as compared to just 20 days ago!

Congratulations to all ILLUMINATION members for an amazing job! We could not do this without you.

Other publications benefit from a larger initial follower size because they have been active longer. While many of those have been around for years, ILLUMINATION is barely scratching the surface at 9 weeks old. Obviously, we are continuing to do an excellent job at giving the readers what they want, new, fresh, eclectic, exciting and informative stories, articles and poetry.

Thank you to all of our 700 plus writers who continue to put in the hard work to provide the daily and valuable content for our readers, who, by the way, are growing at an average rate of about 164 per day.
