Substack Mastery of ILLUMINATION Community | ILLUMINATION Curators
Dear Writers and Readers, we appreciate your support and subscriptions to our Substack site. We now have a streamlined way to showcase your newsletters within our curated collection. By harnessing the strengths of both Medium and Substack, we aim to help you expand your audience through collaboration and joy. Remember, without a community, navigating Substack can feel isolating.
Substack Mastery serves as an educational and collaborative platform for our community to shine and illuminate society. Thank you for being part of this exciting journey. We are committed to diversity and inclusivity and look forward to your support and engagement for mutual growth.
Inspiration for Beginners

Our chief editor, Dr. Mehmet Yildiz, has authored a book on Substack Mastery, with chapters being published on Medium, Substack, and his website for beta readers at no cost. This is an excellent opportunity to learn from his insights while assisting him in refining the book for its final release. Here are the available chapters on effectively utilizing Substack notes to increase subscriber numbers:
- Substack Mastery Book: Chapter 4
- Substack Mastery Book: Chapter 3
- Substack Mastery Book: Chapter 2
- Preface of "Substack Mastery" for Beta Readers
Dr. Yildiz has also interviewed influential writers from both Medium and Substack. Today, he speaks with Lauren Grawert, MD, who hosts her own Substack newsletter.
About Substack Mastery Publication on Medium.com
For those new to our community, the Substack Mastery publication functions as an educational, collaborative, and promotional tool for creators, freelance writers, and content entrepreneurs active on both Medium and Substack. We maintain a public publication on Medium where subscribers can introduce their newsletters. Please review our Submission Guidelines for Substack Mastery on Medium, where we also link to sample stories following featured newsletters.
The aim of Substack Mastery is to educate newcomers, facilitate collaboration among members, and promote their newsletters across various platforms, including Medium, Substack, Quora, LinkedIn, and social media networks like Facebook, X, and Reddit. Additionally, Dr. Yildiz will amplify these efforts through his social network and insights on content strategy, development, and marketing.
What If Your Country Doesn't Support Stripe for Substack?
Good news for creators in countries where Substack does not support Stripe for monetization. There is a workaround: PayPal. Our chief editor, Dr. Mehmet Yildiz, has documented insights from a brilliant creator, Mladena Kosanovic, whose newsletter we are featuring today. Please share this story with your friends so they can benefit too.
Rebranding "ILLUMINATION-Curated" as "Curated Newsletters"
We have rebranded ILLUMINATION-Curated as the Curated Newsletter publication, providing writers with the chance to craft stories in a newsletter format. This serves as both an educational and collaborative tool. Dr. Yildiz posted an announcement about this change to keep the community informed. If you were a contributor to the previous ILLUMINATION-Curated publication, we welcome your feedback on how we can better serve you with this new platform. We will establish new submission guidelines for the Curated Newsletter publication, which will expand upon our existing Substack Mastery.
Chapter 2: The Purpose of This Series
In each installment, we introduce various newsletters from our contributors on Substack Mastery and publish them across both platforms. This opportunity is available to all authentic writers who adhere to platform rules and our publication guidelines. We do not permit harmful content, plagiarism, or AI-generated material. Newsletters on any topic are welcome.
In this series, we offer a wide range of eclectic topics. Explore these excellent newsletters on various subjects, consider following their authors, and subscribe if their content resonates with you. We aim to continue presenting many more newsletters through ILLUMINATION's Substack Mastery.
