We have also served on Medium.com since 2019, supporting, educating, and empowering freelance writers using the ILLUMINATION Integrated publications as a free community service. Our publications support 31000 writers on Medium.com.
Now, by using our old network, we want to help Medium writers have a presence on Substack and diversify their content on multiple platforms. We will enable collaboration by bringing freelance writers to one place. The best tool to achieve this is a community publication on Medium.com now called Substack Mastery. We have an established infrastructure to support this new publication for freelance writers and content entrepreneurs for growing their subscribers with collaboration.
Building a Powerful Bridge Between Medium and Substack
Our aim is to create a dynamic and powerful bridge between Medium and Substack, leveraging our leadership and capabilities to empower creators with various options.
By leveraging the strengths of both platforms, we will provide writers with unparalleled opportunities for growth and productivity.
This strategic synergy will enable writers to expand their reach, enhance their productivity, and elevate their writing business to new heights. Through this collaboration, we are committed to creating a thriving ecosystem where creators can flourish and achieve their full potential.
As a collaborative and synergistic network, we pride ourselves on being a diverse and inclusive community, welcoming contributions from individuals of all ages, nationalities, backgrounds, genders, ethnicities, and viewpoints. Our ultimate aim is to create a collaboration that illuminates society with curated, high-quality content.
This new publication under the ILLUMINATION umbrella titled Illumination Curators on Substack, is designed to support creators of Substack on Medium by offering curated content to readers of Medium.
Our goal is to start all writers to have a Substack, help them build their audience with our support, and amplify their content using our vast network to make them successful content creators and marketers.
ILLUMINATION-Curators will support and empower Substack creators through a new publication on Medium. ILLUMINATION-Curators a team of 157 volunteer editors will be running this publication with 30 assigned editors as Medium does not allow us more publisher per publication for unknown reasons.
Regarding support, we now have a virtual Help Desk on Slack to solve issues with the help of a dedicated support team. It is on ILLUMINATION Slack workspace. Currently 22521 writers are registered to this channel. We will create a new channel on Substack Notes to support our writers better.
Our chief editor, Dr Mehmet Yildiz, will lead this publication and also donate all his public writing income to this publication. We have 9 founding members sponsoring our activities and associated costs. He will write an editorial bulletin about it soon to inform and update our community.
With a vision to expand and adapt to the evolving digital landscape, we launched ILLUMINATION Library on Substack in 2020. This platform welcomes content developers — writers, journalists, editors, bloggers, digital marketers, YouTubers, gamers, game developers, and freelancers — creating a dynamic community that thrives on collaboration and synergy.
Our leadership team conducted a comprehensive analysis of various content distribution platforms, evaluating their service capabilities and cultural fit for creators. Through this process, we identified Substack as the most powerful and supportive platform available.
As highlighted by Dr. Mehmet Yildiz in his latest story, Substack has consistently demonstrated a deep commitment to nurturing creators at all levels, from absolute beginners to established celebrities.
Substack’s dedication to creator support is unmatched, with a proven track record of creating success across diverse content genres.
Additionally, Substack’s recent innovations, including a proprietary algorithm and an embedded social media tool, are poised to revolutionize content dissemination.
These advancements are set to propel Substack to the forefront as the premier platform for content creators, solidifying its position as the #1 choice for effective and impactful content distribution worldwide.
We are thrilled to announce a new initiative designed to empower Substack creators both freelance writers and entrepreneurs by leveraging the vast and vibrant platform of Medium. As ILLUMINATION Curators, we believe in the power of collaboration and community to elevate voices and bring compelling content to a wider audience. Our mission is to support Substack writers in building their audience, enhancing their content, and achieving success as content creators and marketers.
Based on our recent research and analysis conducted by our data scientists, we noticed that many freelance writers want to create newsletters and own their audience using Substack, but they don’t know how to start and run this.
Based on these findings, we decided to establish Substack Mastery publication both on Medium and Substack which will be a dynamic resource on these platforms, managed by a dedicated team of editors and curators.
Led by our chief editor, Dr. Mehmet Yildiz, we are committed to establishing and maintaining a supportive environment where Substack writers can thrive.

Our approach is practical and multifaceted.

What can you submit to this publication?
As long as you follow Medium rules and our guidelines, like no harmful content, you can write about anything. For example, you can submit anything about your creativity, your services, your writing style, audience building, and details of your newsletters. Unlike our other publications, you don’t have to adhere to boost guidelines as this type of content will not be boosted by Medium. However, we will amplify your content in our external networks, creating visibility for your profile and content. You can also submit all your substack-related videos and podcasts to our Videos/Podcasts publication on Medium.
Our mission is to support and empower content creators.
To achieve this, we will offer a premium service through an optional $5 monthly subscription. This means that we will still support non-paying members with complementary content to guide them in building their newsletters.
This $5 membership will provide extra valuable resources in all our Substack newsletters, including educational opportunities, promotional support for newsletters of creators, and amplification of content on Substack, Medium, blog sites, other content platforms, and our tailored social media tools.
Under the strategic leadership of Dr. Yildiz, our chief editor, and his team of 10000+ industry leaders on LinkedIn, we will be crafting a comprehensive marketing strategy that will be unveiled soon. Our ambitious five-year goal is to grow to 5 million members, establishing ILLUMINATION Connect as a premier network for creators.
Dr Yildiz committed to invest 80% of his content marketing efforts to Substack as he explained the reason in the attached story on Medium.com. He has been supporting Medium writers since 2019 through his leadership for ILLUMINATION Integrated Publications.
