Who Will Take Over Expertscolumn?
Yesterday, I emailed Niks, the owner and administrator of ExpertsColumn said: "I just read an article published at Triond Why is Expertscolumn for Sale? Are you really planning to sell this site? Who will take over? Just wondering."
My letter to Niks was to get his personal view regarding the sale of his site and to clear my doubts too. I know that ExpertsColumn is attracting thousands of traffic everyday and it is a good paying site too for writers. Of course, no-one can change Niks decision. And I understand that when it comes to business he is an expert.
Niks told me that ExpertsColumn is listed for sale. And one of Latona’s brokers in the named of Andrew Deihl assured buyers that ExpertsColumn has an annual expenses that include monthly web hosting costs which is Three Hundred Twenty US dollars and the monthly revenue payout to its writers. The writer payout is determined on a revenue share basis, so that cost is payed directly from ad revenues. And regarding the legality of the content on the site, he said that the site owner has had no legal issues yet with any of the content.
I am one of the columnists of ExpertsColumn for more than a year now and so far, I have already published one hundred ninety two columns on their site. And have earned at least 32+ US$ that started from March 2012 to date. After I read the article why is ExpertsColumn for sale published here written by Strovek – who is one of Triond’s writers, the first thing that came up to my mind was a question: What will happen to all my published columns at ExpertsColumn?
Luckily, I received Niks reply on the same date. He assured me the following: “Yeah, we have listed the site for sale. However, the site will be sold to only that person/organization who agrees to continue with the site in the similar fashion as we are doing. Everything will remain to be same except that it will be taken over by new owner. So writers need not to be worried about anything as their content is safe on the website and they will continue to earn from it as usual.”
Niks reply assured me one thing: All my doubts have gone. And I sent off Niks some good wishes and my prayers!

I just sent them a message to find out some details on the sale. It concerns me, because the current owner has done a great job and I hope the new owner will do good too.

Almost all of its columinists have the same concerns – we just hope Philly that if it’s materialized the new owner is not a machine. LOL.

I hope the take over will not spoil things in that great site!

Hopefully the new boss picks even uglier shades of neon green and orange, and an even more childish font than Comic Sans.
Expertscolumn’s pages are hideously ugly.
