Listen Now: Audio Version of Substack Mastery Available for Subscribers!
This page includes links to educational audio recordings of the Substack Mastery book chapter by chapter for those who prefer listening to the book and take their newsletter to the next level.
Dear Subscribers,
I hope this message finds you well and thriving! These past three months have been full of excitement and hard work as I wrote, edited, and published the Substack Mastery book, now available in digital (e-book), paperback, and audio formats.
This journey has been a labor of love, driven by a simple but profound goal: to provide our community with a comprehensive and accessible resource on making the most of Substack — strategically, tactically, and practically leveraging the power of Medium and other platforms like Patreon.
The response to the book has been beyond encouraging! In a short time, hundreds of writers have used Substack Mastery insights and practical guides to launch their own Substack publications and start building audiences, achieving real momentum and connection with readers. This progress delighted me.
Seeing these results has fueled me to dive even deeper, inspiring the creation of my upcoming book for advanced writers, A Powerful Toolkit for Advanced Substack Mastery, due out on November 30, 2024, to be distributed globally.
This second book will be packed with advanced tools, refined strategies, and unique insights for writers looking to take their Substack journey to the next level. I designed it as a lifetime learning and growth tool for freelance writers and content entrepreneurs, leveraging my 42 years of content development and marketing strategy skills.
If you’d like to be part of this process as a beta reader and access chapters for free, I’d love to hear from you—just leave a comment on this post, and I’ll get in touch. I will make this version only available to subscribers as these advanced features might confuse the public, as not many writers have written about them.
As an inventor, I wrote it as bespoke, experimental, and original content to add a new dimension to the Substack ecosystem. Your feedback will be invaluable to refine it. I can’t wait to involve more voices from our community as we shape this valuable resource together.
Free Audio Chapter
Additionally, today, I’m excited to offer a free sample chapter from the audio version of Substack Mastery, especially for the LinkedIn version, as LinkedIn can be a game changer in your writing and freelancing journey, as I articulated clearly based on my experience and observations for many years.

As the audio production of this book was costly, I will be sharing other chapters with my paying subscribers to cover its hefty cost. If you are interested in exploring an in-depth, convenient, audio-first experience, I encourage you to check it out.
The market price for this audiobook will be $75 in online bookstores. However, with the monthly subscription to this newsletter priced at just $5, I aim to make quality guidance and insights affordable, especially compared to formal Substack courses that start at $170 and up.
Here, you are not just subscribing to a newsletter but you are joining a community where I’m dedicated to sharing my 42 years of experience in content development, marketing strategy, and community building.
I will also lead ILLUMINATION’s Substack Mastery program and promote the work of paying members, founders, and Illumination Connect Partners using my vast network and professional resources.
Currently, 90% of my content is freely available to the public because I believe in supporting emerging writers on their path to growth and in helping everyone experience the joy of building an audience on Substack and making a living out of it with joy.
Thank you for subscribing, supporting this publication, and being part of this wonderful community that I have developed over the last five years.
I’m always here if you have questions or need guidance—please reach out in Notes or on the ILLUMINATION Slack workspace. You are also welcome to be a guest blogger on my website to create more visibility for your newsletters.
Together, let’s continue to build something incredible!
Warm regards,
Owner and Chief Editor of ILLUMINATION Integrated Publications

Introduction to an Upcoming Substack book for advanced writers: A Powerful Toolkit for Substack Mastery
Based on beta readers’ feedback and massive demand from the community members, I also authored a new book for advanced freelance writers and content entrepreneurs titled A Powerful Toolkit for Advanced Substack Mastery. It will be published on 30 November 2024 in many online bookstores as an ebook, paperback, and audio. It is available for pre-order now.
I read this book multiple times when you were writing it as a beta reader and editor and now after listening to each chapter I feel like I completed a Substack degree 😂Thank you for writing this educational and inspiration book Dr YIldiz. I am very grateful for your wonderful support to me and our community. I hope many writers find this audio book and learn from your insights. I give a 5 star review to this book from all angles: content value, simplicity, brevity, clarity, and impact. 👏
