Substack Mastery of ILLUMINATION Community | ILLUMINATION Curators
Dear Writers and Readers, we couldn’t post last week due to very hectic schedule as we are redesigning our publications to make them more efficient for writers and readers. Thank you for your patience. Now submission guidelines for two major publications are ready: ILLUMINATION and Curated Newsletters.
Thank you for following and subscribing to our site on Substack. We can now easily find your newsletters easily and feature them in our curated collection.

What If Your Country Does Not Support Stripe for Substack?
There is a solution. It is a good news the monetization opportunity of some countries Substack does not support Stripe. The workaround is PayPal and our chief editor Dr Mehmet Yildiz (Newsletter) documented his findings from a brilliant creator Mladena whose newsletter we featured today. Please share this story with your friends so that they can benefit from it. If Substack Does Not Support Your Country via Stripe, There Is an Alternative Monetization…
Community Building on Substack Bridging with Other Platforms
Integrating Substack with Medium is a great idea. To this end, as a community builder, I created a philanthropic organization that will empower creators, freelance writers, and content entrepreneurs with a commercial arm. I documented the strategy and high-level plan in a story. Please feel free to ask questions and provide feedback. Refraining from perfection, I choose a progressive path.
Here are our draft service definitions for creators, freelance writers, and content entrepreneurs. We will explain the details in our upcoming newsletter.
For advanced writers, we have a publication called Curated Newsletters, which replaced the former ILLUMINATION-Curated. As Dr Yildiz left the boost program, he now allocates more time to support writers in extending their services to Substack or other platforms.
We introduce a new blogging environment on our website to enhance the visibility of Medium stories and Substack newsletters. This approach will boost SEO, making it easier for readers to discover content through search engines and increasing the likelihood of converting visitors into newsletter subscribers.
We are also launching a new video and podcasting service on our community YouTube channel, further expanding the reach and visibility of our writers’ work across multiple mediums.
Our media coordinator Aiden MC will be leading this initiative. He created a short video with some descriptions of the services we will provide. Join our exciting journey to reap the benefits of community spirit. He created a short video and also story about it.
