I read about ExpertsColumn in mylot discussions and I am going to join this site. I know that it is Pay Per View site and pays $5 for 1000 visitors. But before joining, I want to know your views about this site.
1. Whether it is Genuine or Scam.
2. Potential of Earning.
3. Type of English Required.
4. Are 1000 visitors difficult to attain.
Comparison with other genuine sites are most welcome.
Please share your experiences with this site and tell me whether you recommend it or not taking in account the fact that I am not a native English speaker so my English skills are same as in this post. So will you still recommend it to me or not and how much could I earn in, say, a day.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Phantom90 First and foremost Welcome to Mylot. I am writing for expertscolumn and here is my review-
[b]
1. Earnings on views :[/b] They do not pay 5 $ for 1000 views.. The current rate is 1.50 $ and only for the month of December ( They call it December Fest ) it was 2.50 - 3.00 $ per 1000 views..
[b]
2. Earnigns per day :[/b] I have 15 articles there and I get on average 30-40 views and somedays a little more.. So current rate I earn around 5-6 cents per day RESIDUAL INCOME and it remains quite steady.. More the no. of article more the residual income
3. Republish artilces : The site allows you to republish your triond/ squidoo or any other site articles as long as you use the same user name.
4. English Skills : They are not very strict as some sites and the articles get approved quickly.. But they are in a new drive to curb plagiarism and if you plagiarize, your articles will be taken down and if you do it often your account banned.
Verdict : It is good site to earn some extra bucks but serious money comes in only when you have atleast 400-500 articls.. But still not a bad place to republish your articles and earn those extra dollars.. Cheerss

WOW, very nicely explained. The fact you explained in 3rd point is, I think, a big plus point for this site. If we are regular article writer than we can publish our previously published articles in this site and earn some residual income.
I want to ask whether publishing previously published articles of Triond violates their(Triond's) T&C ?

Hi Phantom90 I dont think there is anything in Triond T&C that says you cannot republish their articles elsewhere.. I have a few articles from there in expertscolumn and as of now no issues.. Cheers

ExpertsColumn is a legit site, I haven't reached the payout yet. There is no definite standard of English required, it is a revenue sharing site.
It pays directly based on views, so I've heard. You can even copy paste your articles from other sites.
You earn based on your writing potential. I have noticed one thing there, money making articles get the most views so I recommend you to write those articles.
And no, as long as your articles are good, getting 1000 visitors aren't hard to get.

I am a member in that site and found out that earnings there is really hard because sometimes traffic is the main problem. Not like in one of the site that I wrote a summary is being promoted by the site itself and earned more if you able to deliver more...
Mylot also far better than expert because we can earn here substantial even if we do not promote our articles

Hello phanton,
Expert Column is not a good site in my view. It has very low page rank, low alexa rank, got only 100-200 visitors per day which is very low in comparison to other writing sites like hubpages, ehow, triod, squidoo etc. I suggest you to join any of these site and forget about ExpertsColumn

Expertscolumn is fine with me since they are accepting republish articles. I only earn 3-4 cents a day and its okay with me. I don't publish new articles.

3-4 cents a day is a little low but considering the fact that you don't publish regularly, it is acceptable. Thanks for sharing your useful experience with us. By the way, how many articles have you published so far?

Well, it seems cool that we can republish our articles in this site.
I have been working on Triond and Helium, but recently i got problems on these two sites. If as you say, i can republish my articles on expertscolumn, i think i can still earn a few cents each day with my articles.

They do pay and I have been paid by them a couple times. It is a good site and really good to write new articles or republish. I suggest it.

I think Expertscolumn is a good site for republishing your articles. I am using this site for the last 2 months and find it good for a residual income. I have about 40-50 articles on the site and earns me around 25-30 views per day earning about 0.5-0.6 cents per day. Hoping to increase my articles.
