Editorial Changes on Profy

Svetlana Gladkova,


I'd like to share some updates regarding the bloggers here on Profy. Cyndy Aleo-Carreira has resigned from Profy and has announced she will be working at The Industry Standard. We wish Cyndy success on all of her future projects. We also learned last night from a post on Mashable that Leslie Poston and Triston McIntyre have also left. We wish them well on their future endeavors. I regret that the story was made public by a high-profile blog like Mashable (even though I don't think it's an event worth any coverage at all) but the post was a complete surprise to me because I only received a resignation email from Cyndy so I'd like to share my thoughts on the current business direction at Profy.

The changes on Profy that I have chosen to introduce are intended to better correlate the revenue of the blog with what we pay for content. Moreover, my idea is to help Profy bloggers prosper while helping the blog grow as well and taking responsibility for their results. I am surprised that the changes were not welcomed by our bloggers since I offered very lucrative prospects for growth of their revenue based on the results of their work. But I do understand and respect their position and I hope that they will find more personally suitable conditions with their future employers. I hope it is equally understandable that I need to think of the interests of my business along with the needs of our bloggers.

I appreciate all the words of support I've received today and I would like to thank everyone for continuing to read Profy. Let me assure you that I will work very hard to continue bringing the best content and the best bloggers to you here.
