My Medium Publications ~ The Year 2023 in Review

Medium publications give your content more exposure and help you meet and collaborate with fellow writers on the platform. In my opinion, publications are one of Medium's best features.  

I began publishing content on Medium.com back in 2014, initially because this platform accepted republished content. But as my following grew I began to publish both original and republished content, and in 2019, started creating Medium publications. 

As of 2024, I am publishing 4 different Medium publications: one for general discussion topics, one for foodies, one for Korean historical period dramas, and one for non-historical Korean dramas. Below are the links to articles that recap activity for the year 2023.

♦ Express Yourself! ~ Top 20 Articles of 2023

There are 10 articles listed. My favorite article on this list is the one about King David and Bathsheba.

♦ My Foodie Luv ~ Top Stories for the Year 2023

A varied selection of topics: fruits, cakes, world cuisine/food history, and cooking terms explained for newbies in the kitchen.

♦ My Sageuk Addiction ~ Top 10 Stories for 2023

I am very much enjoying streaming historical period Korean dramas. Viki, Netflix, Tubi, and YouTube have quite a selection to choose from. One tip if you plan to watch K-dramas: make sure that all of the episodes are available. It is so frustrating to get wrapped up in a series only to realize that you may have to wait several weeks until all of the episodes have been uploaded and are fully translated with English subtitles.

♦ Nothing But Love for Korean Dramas ~ Top 10 Stories for 2023 

I love all Korean dramas, but this publication is for non-historical K-dramas and includes news about popular actors and actresses contributed by Kpoppost.

FINAL NOTE:

If you are also a Medium contributor OR you plan to become one and you are interested in sharing your content via my Medium publications, simply comment at this post OR at one of the Medium articles OR contact me via Twitter (@cmoneyspinner).

That’s it for 2023. It’s 2024. Wishing you a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year!

International Real Estate Investing Choices: South Africa, Bahamas, Panama and Costa Rica

Freelance Writing Opportunities : Are You a Wizzler Too? (Wizzley.com)

Once heard the late Gene Kelly (1912 - 1996) describe the late Michael Jackson (1958 - 2009) as being “eclectic”. The word “ec·lec·tic” is an adjective and it means, in the sense that it was used by Mr. Kelly, that Mr. Jackson derived ideas, style, or taste from a broad and diverse range of sources, and applied this knowledge quite well, especially when he performed.

If I were to describe my collection of pages published at Wizzley.com, the word eclectic would paint a very nice picture.

My first article – accepted for publication two five years ago - was about modern day Arabs who claim to be the seed of Abraham and there is no reason why anybody should doubt their claims. The Hebrew patriarch that the Jews, Christians and Muslims all call Father Abraham had many sons (one by his first wife, Sarah; one by his first wife's maid servant, Hagar; and several more by his second wife, Keturah, whom he married after the death of his first wife). Those sons had a bunch more sons and the lineage just kept on growing!! One of the sons of Abraham was Ishmael and he went to live in the desert. It is believed that the “desert people”, the Arabs, are his descendants.

My pages are eclectic because finding a “niche” has proven to be a most difficult task. Can't seem to find a specific topic to focus on. Consequently, my pages are about movies , music and books ; real estate , art , history , food , blogging , etc. To date, 37 pages have been published.

The Wizzley Team encourages their writers to publish a Wizzography ; which is very similar to our introductions here at Persona Paper; only it's not required. Very much enjoy writing at this site and the community is exceptionally friendly and supportive and … way smarter than me!  :)

Some of my fellow bloggers have a passion to write about their wanderlust.  Reblogging this list provided by Erica Verrillo, publisher of Publishing ... and Other Forms of Insanity.

Many of these specialize in niche markets, which means they have a loyal readership.

WAH! On Top of WAH! Another Weekend!

WAH! WAH!! No. That's not my imitation of a crying baby. :) 
 
For the past couple of months my major work-at-home (WAH) project has been republishing content and updating links at my various blogs, especially incorrect affiliate links that redirect clickers elsewhere! Then on January 30, 2016, PersonaPaper (my favorite social blogging community) announced they will no longer be accepting members and plan to shut down. Tried to back up my posts and this is now another "To Do" project:  Find PP Content New Home.

"An online entrepreneur's work is never done."
Wonder who said that.  (???)  Oh!  Yeah!  It was me!

Have created several potential residual income streams – Tsū , myLot , my blogs at - Tumblr, BlogJob and Blogger (or Blogspot ), and online writing communities like  DailyTwoCents , HUBPages , Wizzley, etc.

Creating them is one thing.

Keeping up with them is another.

It's clear to me that my “To Do List” should be more organized, in order for me to accomplish more. So that's my project to help me with my home business projects. Create an organized achievable prioritized list of "I Will DO ALL of This!" items.
 
Great! Just what I needed! Another WAH project! :)
 
WAH! WAH!! :)

Could Treasure Pen Be the New Facebook?

Have been freelance writing since 2011, and participating in online writing communities – slash – social networks similar to TreasurePen.com, but NOT!

Recently I published a short blurb at another writing site – DailyTwoCents.com about this site and titled it “Looking For the New Facebook”.

Here is the link, if interested:
Looking For the New Facebook?

It poses the question which was mentioned by an independent reviewer or blogger about the future of Treasure Pen.

• Could it be? 
• Do you think it is possible? 
• Can TP become the new Facebook?

The answer is: "Yes."  "It could."

But dogged diligence and determination would be required.  They would have to burn the candle at both ends, so to speak. Don’t know if they fully realize this, but the management and staff at the T-Pen community are literally sitting on top of a gold mine! (O.o)

Wishing them success!!
