Triond Postpones Payment

This January, Triond postpones payment for the first time. (It's the first time for me at least.) Triond announces that the delay in payment is due to the suspension of their Paypal account, etc., etc. According to their apology letter, checks and Western Union payments were released as scheduled, at least.

I have nothing against Triond, my friends. In fact, I am glad they informed us of this incident so that I avoid scratching my head wondering when my Triond money is coming in. I hope Triond and Paypal sort things out so that I can finally enjoy my online earnings from Triond. On the brighter side, my Triond earnings are rolled up until I receive payment (or until February cut-off, I guess.) That’s a bigger sum for the next payment day.
Triond, dude, don’t worry. You're still good in my book. I am not quite happy with the delay but it's not like me to hold a grudge. I'm happy writing contents for you and promoting them on various sites. When I receive my paypal money, I shall be happier!  ;)

The good news is that I have received money from Expertscolumn. It's this site that I'm working on, in addition to Triond. I even made a bare comparison on Triond and Expertscolumn rates. While it seems that Expertscolumn pay more than Triond, it's not a 100% true. Triond rates are better in few sites like Healthmad and Gameolosophy. As to poetry and cooking articles, Expertscolumn is where they should be. With regards to communities, Triond members are more active than Expertscolumn. However, Expertscolumn tend to get more organic clicks.

I’m thankful that Expertscolumn is there fill up the temporary gap from Triond. Hopefully, Triond fixes their administrative issues with Paypal so writers like me will continue enjoying a worry-free experience with Triond.

How about you? Any qualms you have in mind for Triond? :P

Thank you Triond for my October Payment

Thank you Triond for my October payment.

I can say once more that... I make money writing! hahahah!

I'm happy with my 15 bucks online income. I used to get 50 cents from this site so this is rather a big payday for me. More so, I got about the same amount last month when Triond gave me a 30% bonus for writing at least 20 articles. This October, I wrote was able to publish just 3, and here I get about the same cash money! Yay me!

Last October, I focused on how to get Triond views rather than writing for Triond. Writing online for money requires online promotion and marketing as well. That's where SEO techniques come in. I mostly use social media like Facebook, Twitter and Stumbleupon in promoting my Triond links. I need to broaden my SEO knowledge in order to make good money in Triond, though. I am very happy with how things are going with me in this site. Still, I am looking for way to improve my stats. I'm always looking for ways to better myself and my online income.

This month of November, I'm thinking of writing for Expertscolumn, as well. I plan to leave Triond backlinks in my Expertscolumn article.  I like to make money by writing; but I don't like copy-pasting my works from one site to another. (Although that is totally allowed with EC.) Anyway, I plan to write a 300-word article for my Triond articles (also with a minimum of 300 words) in order to multiply my readership and views and online money through writing.

I use beingwell in EC, too in case your wondering. hahaha! If you are ever there, feel free to read some of my articles. You know I'll earn a few cents whenever you view my works.

So there! Once more, all my thanks for Triond. More power to yah!

My Goal is to make 20 Triond Articles this November

This month, I am not going to worry on how to get Triond views. October was all about promoting Triond links. I focused on ways on how to get views. This month however, I plan to add at least 20 Triond articles on my portfolio. This month's all about writing!

Increasing views and traffic involve good contents to be promoted online. Freelance writers need to balance writing for money and promoting to get more money. And that's my simple plan this November - write good contents.

I finally got my 100 Badge. I plan to get the next badge, which is 200. Here's a screenshot of the e-mail Triond sent me when I reached a hundred. It was a fun day for me.hihihi...

And so, I have a new feat at hand! Instead of going for that next hundred in one go; I plan to make it as fun and as doable as possible (which should always be the case). One thing I learned in making money online is that is should always be fun first! Otherwise, we all lose interest, especially when the pay starts with a few cents. So what if Triond didn't announce any challenge this month. I am challenging myself, for whatever it's worth. hahaha!


If you plan to make good money in Triond, I suggest you do the same. Balance writing (good articles) and promoting them. It doesn't have to be drastic, my friends. Just remember to keep it simple and reachable so that it be will fun for you and your readers. You'll see how far it will take you. My favorite motto in life is to do this slowly and yet surely. It applies to all sort of things; and yes even on the different ways to make money online.

That's it for now. You can cheer me anytime. hehehe...

How Cool are my Top Referring Sites! :P

How cool indeed! I have Facebook, StumbleUpon, Yahoo!, Google, Bing and Redgage in my Top Referring Sites for the last 30 days. It seems I'm getting better in increasing views and traffic with Triond. I don't know how long it will hold, of course. That's why I'm happy this is happening.

Earning online income by writing is fun for me. I get to use SEO techniques that I only read from other blogs and articles. I also learn some techniques of my own through online social groups that I'm a member of. I know that I still have a lot to learn; but what I've learned in my online earning searches, I can share with you guys today.

First thing's first though. If you're new to Triond, how to get views should not be your number 1 concern. First, you need to make articles. It's like what my tag above says, Write. Promote. Make money. Haha! Now, write at least 5-10 articles in a month. If you don't write, you don't have anything to promote. How can you make money from there? And don't tell me you're good in getting referrals? That should be the farthest from your worries at this point.

As incentives, Triond usually gives challenges to writers wherein they get additional 10%, 20% or 30% bonus when they reach a certain number of articles for a particular month. But.... it seems that we don't have it for this month. Let's wait for December, in this case. Now when you've got a good number of articles it's time to promote.

How to get Triond views from the sites I've mentioned above? The first thing you would need is an audience. Where to get those? For starters, in Triond, of course! I will never get tired of this advise. Work the community you are in, whether its Triond or any other writing or social site. The members are most probably willing to help. 90% of the time, when you help other members, they help themselves as well in getting traffic. So, knock-knock-knock on your neighbors' doors.

Just remember: DO NOT SPAM! Never do this or you'll get a bad rep among the community. No one likes that.

Do this for 2-4 weeks and be amazed with how your views and earnings would go up!

10k Triond Views This Month! Well done, me! :)

How to get Triond views used to be difficult for me. A hundred visitors in one month seemed to be so hard to get before. Thanks to my Triond and online friends, I learned to increased that batting rate to a much, much higher percentage. This month, I am happy to see the 10,000++ views I have for my 98 articles.

Happy me! :)

I have to admit, writing online for money is becoming a lot more exciting these past days. Writing for Triond is proving to be a good move. I've come a long way in my search for online income - from paid to clicks to paid to posts and finally, to becoming a freelance writer.

Writing for Triond is just half of the challenge. Getting traffic is the other half. If you're new to Triond, I suggest to start working with its community. There are many Triond writers who are willing to help our newcomers. I know because I got my first ever 1000 views from the Triond community.

Let's go back to my accumulated views for this month. See, I think I only know 5% of the SEO techniques. 5%? That's nothing compared to what professional online promoters and marketers use. However, I make sure I use this 5% to maximize my Triond views and earnings.While there are so many ways to make money online (by writing or by any other means), I believe that what I know NOW may deliver optimum results when done continuously without fail. I say, consistency is essential in increasing views and traffic.

So, my advise to you is this. Whatever you're doing now to get Triond views, continue doing it. And if you haven't started building up your views yet, start with the Triond community. Add friends; comment on their articles; and ask them to do the same for you. Do this for a week or 2 and you'll see some great improvements in your views and earnings.

Ciao!

How I Started with Triond

Making money with Triond is actually really easy. You don't have to pay for anything. All you need is a paypal account and time - Time to write articles; time to promote articles.

What to write?
Triond hosts a number of writing sites. Members write and Triond publishes the articles according to their subject matters and/or topics. Each site pays a different rate per click or view. What you want to write for are topics that pay more. These include health articles on Healthmad, gaming articles on Gameolosophy, or factual articles on Scienceray. Gomestic, Quazen, Beyond Jane and Socyberty also pay high rates.

Those that pay less include Notecook, Cinemaroll and AThingForCars. As much as I love writing recipe articles for Notecook, I choose not to.

There are many other sites, but these are the ones I know.

How to promote?
Promoting your articles will eat up time. There are many ways and techniques to do so. Truth is, some are effective; some , not so. I've tried several ways to get views, and I'd like to share them with you so you don't waste your time with trial and error. Also, some techniques works for others; some don't. So you really need to know which one works for you. There's one thing for sure, though. You will need time.

If you're new in Triond, first thing to do is add Triond friends. Triond community is very active and are mostly very welcoming in viewing and commenting on your articles. That's as long as you view and comment theirs. That's where you will need the time for. There are many way to get views in Triond itself. Let's pin this topic for the mean time, so I can put more thought into it.

Social bookmarks and social sites are great ways to get views for your articles. Want to increase views? Get a free Twitter, StumbleUpon, Diggit and Facebook account for starters. Gather people with the same interest as yours so you get an audience for your views. Let me dig into more in this in a separate article, as well.

For now, this is all my friend!
