Triond is Home
Even if you are a writer at heart and would spend long hours writing for no money at all, there is something rewarding about getting paid for your labors. When I write it truly is a labor of love. Researching, verifying information, looking for just the right picture to clarify or illustrate my point is all part of the enjoyment. Having someone else read my point and understand where I am coming from is bonding. I have bonded with many writers at Triond. I feel as if they are a part of my family and they have grown to mean a lot to me. Triond was a place to get my feet wet.
You Don't Lose Your Work at Triond
I've had a short story published and a couple of poems, but this was different. I did not feel like I was selling myself and filling out a job application. I felt/feel validated and appreciated. My poems were published with no renumeration (prior to Triond) and the story garnered me $.03 a word. When they bought it, I lost all rights to it. They could change anything they wanted. It was no longer my story, but theirs. And once they paid me for it, there was no more pay forthcoming. They could use it as much or as little as they wanted. At Triond we not only get our work copy written, but we still own it.
You Get Paid Royalties at Triond
At Triond your articles continue to garner you an income. Your audience is limitless and timeless, unless you delete the story. You own your story. They do not alter your wording. It is still as personal or impersonal as you want or as true or fictitious as you desire. You have the internet at your finger tips to use to your full advantage. If you want to bookmark it any number of sites, it is your right, and Triond even makes it easy for you by placing a number of them within easy reach of your content. What if you don't want to? It's up to you also.
The Sky is the Limit on Topics
If you have submitted one of your articles to a bookmarking site you know how inconvenient some of the categories can be. I was trying to submit something to Digg the other day and there just was no available category to cover my topic. Triond does not limit us. Our topics can range as far as our imaginations can stretch, and they are always striving to add new areas for our content. This is the dream home for any writer.
Triond is Always Innovative
Triond has added a new layout, new skin, and even an area to save our drafts of articles while we work to complete them. They work with our articles and place our pictures just so, then insert our links so that they are not the awkward long strung out one we copied and pasted from our browser. They update our earnings each day so we know just how much we have earned daily, and which article is making the most revenue, and post our comments where we can save or delete them. I like the community where I can message other writers outside the viewing public in case I want to ask advice or offer any one on one (more likely ask).
Triond is Global
Triond allows people from all over the world to contribute and get paid. Triond provides us with a cultural exchange like no other I have ever known. I studied sociology in school and took two classes in college but it never gave me the perspective available from actually getting to trade information directly from someone across the globe. It has created a unique sharing with people from all walks of life.
As I have noticed that my earnings at Triond is slipping, for whatever reason, I have tried different bookmarking and networking sites, and then found another writing site, which pays for articles. While Triond still remains my favorite for all of the reasons listed above, here is a quick overview of eHow.
- To get paid you must be a U.S. citizen, and have a PayPal account.
- This is strictly a place to write “how to” instructions
- You can write one article in about 20 to 30 minutes
- There format is such that you simply fill in the steps, save, edit, preview, and submit. They even spell check it for you.
- Writers are friendly
- They send you an email message when you have a comment on an article or friend request
- You get points for each article you write, and can quickly climb to “Authority”
- You can gain extra points for writing about a “requested” topic
- You get paid after reaching $10.00.
- eHow will publicize your article so there is little need to bookmark
- As soon as you select the “publish it” button, it's published
- You can edit any time you like
- You can place links to your profile here at Triond on your profile page there, and even place links to your articles at Triond in your article there, so here is another means of increasing your revenue
If you decide to meander over to eHow for a spell, don't forget your family and home are still at Triond. It's a nice place to visit but there's no place like home.
