2023 Update

Introduction and Context

Being a writer on Medium is rewarding and requires entrepreneurial skills to succeed. New writers face loneliness and isolation due to the size and complexity of the platform.

Besides, rejections that writers encounter in displaying their materials in popular publications create unnecessary anxiety and disappointment.

I designed ILLUMINATION to address these concerns and help suffering writers find their voice without worrying about rejection and censorship.

I am pleased that we achieved our diversity and inclusiveness goals based on the excellent feedback obtained from our writers.

Creating visibility to profiles and content is a critical success factor for writers. Unless we take personal responsibility to promote our profile and work, it can be challenging to gain visibility and recognition on large content platforms.

One of the proven ways to create visibility as a writer is by engaging with readers and other writers actively on the platform. I want our writers to further enhance visibility by leveraging the cross-pollination capabilities of ILLUMINATION.

Publications, by design, are essential components of the Medium content platform. They add extra flavor and vitalize the platform to increase readability. Many readers use publications for their content consumption. For example, some of our readers made ILLUMINATION their first page to access diverse content created by our prolific writers.

Unless you make a concerted effort to promote your publications innovatively, there is very little chance for your publication to be discovered in this crowd. Accepting reality is the best start to an initiative.

Based on an analysis conducted by Arthur G. Hernandez in early July 2020. ILLUMINATION is one of the fastest-growing publications from writers' and readers' perspectives on Medium.

Based on my clear vision, effective growth strategy, and excellent support from our writers, editors, and readers, ILLUMINATION has become a significant publication.

I explained the benefits of personal publications in another story.

Using our power, we want to empower our writers.

While ILLUMINATION is growing rapidly, I want publications of our writers to grow too. This is a compelling opportunity for our writers.

One of my goals as an active member of Medium is to empower writers. I like sharing my knowledge and expertise in content marketing. As a giveback activity, I enjoy creating visibility for profiles, stories, and publications of our writers, as you may observe from the initiatives of my publication.

It is evident that the more we give, the more we receive.

I see Medium publications as a collaborative extension rather than a competition to our publication. As pointed out in my previous posts, we never compete with other publications and never judge their strategy. We respect and support them. Therefore, editors of several popular publications write for ILLUMINATION.

While our writers contribute to ILLUMINATION, they also contribute to other publications. I shared my views and guidance in this story and obtained excellent feedback for the approach. This post helped reduce the anxiety of our writers and gave them the freedom to assess their writing goals on Medium.

It inspires me that many of our writers diversify their content and write for multiple publications. It is also pleasing that some of our writers have specialized publications serving the purpose of their blogs, keeping their stories in a single repository. Who knows, your publications can be discovered and become popular one day.

I encourage optimism and an entrepreneurial approach to all our writers.

Let’s keep in mind that Medium operates and thrives on collaboration principle.

Medium is a well-connected ecosystem made up of a diverse and broad community. Collaboration can enhance our capabilities. We thrive with collaboration. We will be divided by the competition.

Traffic generated to Medium from external sources benefit all writers and publications. The more subscribed members join, the better we can perform. Competing for traffic in an ecosystem is futile. The natural flow of traffic can produce optimal results.

Here is my new proposal for our writers.

Invitation to writers contributing to ILLUMINATION

I am pleased that many of our writers created their publications. Some writers even have multiple publications serving different purposes.

I have a strong affinity for writers on Medium. The stories of each writer teach me something new and give me novel perspectives. I am grateful to our contributing writers who helped us grow ILLUMINATION to become a significant publication.

ILLUMINATION is growing rapidly and is now being supported by 18,000 writers and followed by 66,000 readers.

I enjoy collaborating and creating synergy for our writers. We can perform and thrive with collaboration.

As a giveback activity, I want to create a project featuring publications produced by our writers and promote them.

For us to achieve this goal, my proposal is for each publication owner to write and submit a story introducing the publication's vision, goals, and objectives.

Here is a collection of personal publications maintained by ILLUMINATION Amplifier.

The naming convention for the story

You can submit the story using the following naming convention.

Kicker: Medium Publications by ILLUMINATION Writers

Title: Introduction to [Insert Your Publication Name]

Subtitle: A publication by [Insert Your Account Name by tagging it]

For the content of your story, you can include the following points.

1. The purpose of the publication

2. Publication scope

3. The target audience

4. How to write for this publication

5. Links and samples

There may be other points that you want to share. Please consider making your story as informative as possible to introduce your publication to your potential followers.

You can also tag my account so that I can be notified of your story.

If you haven’t started a publication yet, I can highly recommend you to get started. It is easy to create a publication on Medium.

To give you an idea, attached is a sample story created by Infiniti introducing her new publication. The only change you can make is the naming convention for the title, subtitle, and kicker so that I can standardize the list and give a clear view of your publications to the readers and interested writers who may join your publication as contributors.

What is next?

Once you submit your story introducing your publication, I will add your stories to a list and promote them for you in our Slack group's distribution list, social media initiatives, and promotion channel.

If you are not a member of our Slack group, you can request an invitation on this link quoting “Slack access request”. We currently have 14,800 members on Slack.

I look forward to joining, reading, and promoting your publication.

Your efforts deserve recognition and visibility.

I want you to be successful.
