The Joys of Writing at Expertscolumn
I would like to challenge Triond’s page views vis-a-vis ExpertsColumn’s. And I bet Triond has declined…miserably. Why Triond has declined can be attributed to the same greed Wikinut has run its site.
I’d like to write about my beautiful experience at ExpertsColumn.
The Right Direction I Found At Last
I had been initially hesitant, even sceptical, at the outset, when my friend, a columnist here, Savaswriter (also, a Wikinut writer, and I don’t know if he still regards himself as such there) invited me to write for ExpertsColumn. Maybe he sensed my increasing unhappiness over the site I had immersed my soul in writing for a time that almost spanned a year.
I must admit I had the propensity to rant and rave if a writing site to which I dedicated my time and effort as did every one else I knew, did not get my due return for investment. As everyone knows by now, that site is Wikinut. Talk about nuts.
A Nut And An Expert
A nut and an expert are disparate concepts but now must go together — in me, though admittedly I’m more the former than the latter, literally speaking. To cut the story short, I registered with ExpertsColumn on January 25, 2012, and I dilly dallied on taking the plunge by surveying the new environment as I was rocking the boat at Wikinut.
Enough Is Enough
So on May 8, slowly but surely I started bookmarking all I had published on Wikinut, leaving only those unique to it, and re-publishing them on ExpertsColumn. It felt like moving into a new home, which it did, of course, for I had to feel my way around, where the interface and formatting I had to learn by trial and error. But it wasn’t really a tall order. In fact, everything is quite simple, no, very simple.
Eureka!
No sooner had I re-posted my Wiki articles here than I noticed a pulse beating very fast. The views kept coming in like a tsunami, even without clicking Google+1, StumbleUpon, Digg, Newsvine, etc which I usually did with my articles at Wikinut. And the earnings began to build up fast! Imagine earning your first dollar so early in the game where a pound it will take you months to gain at Wikinut! I no longer cease to wonder, then, why most writers skipped Wikinut for ExpertsColumn.
It’s easy to post your content here. The site is strictly moderated. In fact, I’ve already come to know Jack Wilkinson, one of 2 moderators, the other being Sharon L. West. Most of us know Jack, he’s one of Wikinut wizard authors of Wikinut (look here: http://www.wikinut.com/author~xlkeh/wjack2010/) More or less, Jack can sympathize with former Wikinut authors who pack their bags and move over here.
But if your don’t mind, Jack, I wish to commend the Wikinut moderators, Mark Gordon Brown, JohnnyDod, Steve Kinsman, and Peter B. Giblett for the great job they’re doing over there.
Except the Chief Nut, which is just as well because he is the catalyst for other writers there to move to ExpertsColumn.
At Triond? Look at your dwindling page views. Don’t tell me you find that a better website, either. Phooey!

ExpertsColumn would be great if they finally decided to accept me! I applied nearly four days ago and verified my e-mail address as asked. This resulted in another from them saying I’d be confirmed in 48 to 72 hours, I am still waiting. They haven’t even had the decency to reply to my question as to why I hadn’t been accepted!! I have given up on ExpertsColumn before starting.
June 1st, 2012 at 4:34 pm
Well Buzz, it seems I now have to apologise!! i opened my mouth too wide, too quickly. I’ve just received my acceptance e-mail from ExpertsColumn, so I now may eventually have a go there. I do hope they are not as slow from here on though.

From my experience ExpertsColumn make it easier to publish and gives more exposure to your work.
I typed in a a keyword for one of my articles and it came up on the first page of Google.

Glad you’re now in, Val. I was told by Jack the moderator that the delay was due to great volume of registration.
June 2nd, 2012 at 2:19 am
That’s very true, janef. Thanks.
June 2nd, 2012 at 4:04 am
And I’ve even got my first article on there now
June 3rd, 2012 at 11:18 am

June 6th, 2012 at 11:51 am
Hello Buzz, good to see you again.
June 9th, 2012 at 2:08 am
I began on Wikinut and left there to share my articles on this site. Oddly enough in early February I started on Experts Column and left there within 3 weeks. I am glad many are enjoying the different sites and their successes…
June 9th, 2012 at 9:27 am
very nice
June 14th, 2012 at 12:51 am
Ay naku, bago pa lang EC my friend. Ang Triond dati, ang lakas magbayad, ok naman dito dati. Pero, ang Wikinut? Ay naku kumita lang talaga ako ng nuts doon he he! I’m so glad you are finally found a site that works for you Buzz. Sige, publish lang tayo ng publish sa EC hanggang ok pa
June 16th, 2012 at 3:19 am
Informative article. I should start writing there.
June 17th, 2012 at 7:42 am
Thanks all friends!
I respect all keeping their favoured sites, of course. Nothing to lose, though, if you cast your net farther out to sea to catch more fish.:-)
Cheers!

Congrats Kabz. ExpertsColumn has now become the most loved paying site…
July 31st, 2012 at 3:42 am
Is it de ja vu? I see myself in you. I’ve written here, wikinut and experts column. And the latter is the best.
January 1st, 2013 at 12:04 am
If you have a paypal account you really should try expertspages. I made over $23 for only about 1300 views on the 2 articles I submitte to them. I was skeptical but they paid me as promised. I now have a favorite writing site that is no longer expertscolumn. It is expertspages!
