Substack Mastery Episode 4: Introduction to Leading Substack Newsletters
Featuring the Substack newsletters of writers contributing to the Substack Mastery publication on Medium for collaboration and creating synergy
Curated, Editorial, and Hand-Picked Newsletters Published on Medium. Friend link for non-members of Medium.
Dear Writers and Readers, thank you for subscribing to our site on Substack. We can now find your newsletters easily and feature them in our collection. By using the power of both platforms we will help you build your audience with collaboration and joy. Without a community Substack could be lonely. Thank you for joining our journey. We look forward to your support and meaningful engagement with our community.
Closure of ILLUMINATION-Curated and Opening Curated Newsletters
Today, we have an interesting update for you. We decided to close ILLUMINATION-Curated and use it as a new publication to empower our writers in their Substack journey as a writing tool on Medium. We no longer hold stringent requirements for boosting so you can submit any type of stories from your newsletters to inform your audience on Medium. Dr Yildiz posted a bulletin about it to inform the community.
Goodbye, Beloved ILLUMINATION-Curated😢, Welcome New Curated Newsletters! Why I closed my best publication on Medium and what it means to writers and readers honestly and transparently in raw…medium.com
If you are a contributor to the previous ILLUMINATION-Curated pub we look forward to your feedback on how we can use the new pub to serve you better. We will create a new submission guidelines for the new publication called Curated Newsletter which will be an extension of our current Substack Mastery.
Purpose of Substack Mastery
For those unfamiliar, as part of the ILLUMINATION community, the Substack Mastery publication is an education, collaboration, and promotion tool for creators, freelancer writers, and content entrepreneurs both on Medium and Substack. We have a public publication on Medium where subscribers can introduce their newsletters. Please review Submission Guidelines for Substack Mastery on Medium.
The purpose of Substack Mastery is to educate beginners, help members collaborate, and promote their newsletters on multiple platforms like Medium, Substack, Quora, LinkedIn, and social media tools like Facebook, X, and Reddit. In addition, Dr Yildiz will amplify them through his social network and Content Strategy, Development, & Marketing Insights.
Join the Substack Mastery Community on LinkedIn
Yesterday we created a LinkedIn promotion page and already 800+ members joined. We pay attention to LinkedIn because from our experience the highest conversion rate from free to paid newsletter subscriptions happens from that platform.
LinkedIn is a professional site. Every member is welcome to join our LinkedIn page and share their newsletters and Substack posts. We made it public. We also created a poll for your preferred platforms so please feel free to vote. If you want to be a moderator, please contact Dr Yildiz on LinkedIn, as the owner and leader of the community, he will give you access.
We also welcome Medium readers to Substack Mastery, a new publication on Medium.com that gives voice to writers who illuminate readers as part of the ILLUMINATION Community, bridging two distinct and large platforms. Each platform brings unique values to freelance writers, content entrepreneurs, and independent creators who write just for the joy of writing.
Join the Substack Mastery Community on Quora
Quora is a large platform that freelance writers can reach a broad audience. We created this Quora space to allow you share you Substack newsletters and posts to gain new subscribers. It does not take much time. All you need is copy and paste the newsletter address or your news posts. If you want to be a contributor or moderator please leave a message on this post with your Quora profile name and we will send you an invitation.

The Purpose of this Series on Medium and Substack
In each episode, we introduce you to 10 newsletters of our contributors on Substack Mastery. This offer is open to all authentic writers adhering to platform rules and our publication guidelines. We don’t allow harmful content, plagiarism, and AI-written content. We accept newsletters on any topic.
Led by our chief editor Dr Mehmet Yildiz, this unique initiative, Substack Mastery, aims to cross-pollinate our writers and readers both on Medium and Substack to create synergistic collaboration. Each platform is unique and we encourage our writers and readers to leverage the power and features of them.
We introduced Substack Mastery in a previous post, so we will not repeat the details. Please review the details of our service and guidelines in the story titled Welcome to “Substack Mastery” Publication by the ILLUMINATION Network on Medium.
Dr Yildiz built the ILLUMINATION publication on four core values. Now, we will apply these values to Substack and grow our community as big as we did on Medium. Join our exciting journey and keep collaborating with meaningful engagements and acts of kindness. The more you give, the more you receive.
