Four simple steps to building a successful Triond page.

The forums been overrun of late with an endless litany of “please read my stuff” threads.  Enough so that it is, at times, difficult to discuss much else other than this problem.  Even the ones who are polite become a bit much when there are half a dozen of them simultaneously asking you for advice.

So, for the benefit of new members, here is a list of 4  hints to building a successful triond page.

1.  You will not get rich on triond.  my last 3 articles collected 913, 915, and 48 views, respectably.  On these articles I made just over $2.50.  on average you will receive one penny for anywhere from 6-15 hits.  There are a few here who make a couple hundred dollars per month, but they are few and far between and VERY good at what they do.  Unless you are both an exceptional author who is well versed in current events and outstanding at promoting yourself, you are not one of them.  Even if you are, you are still in all likelihood not.  Do not enter triond with delusions of wealth.

2.  Do not go into the forums and ask for viewers.  Regardless of how original you think your reason is, we don’t care.   You may pick up a few views.  but the 20 or so you get will net you   a penny or two.  The best way is this:

when you go into the forum and just ask people to read, they get annoyed. you have to realize, every day 50-100 new people stick that crap out there, wait for the hits (always promising to return the hits, of course) and never return the hits. try this… find someone (people in the forums ARE a good place to start.. most of us are pretty good at reading back) read their stuff, put likes on everything, a comment or two (the likes show that you were there, the comments that you actually took the time to read it) then send them a message (on the profile page right next to “add friend”) saying “hey, read your stuff, put likes on it, left couple comments” 99 times out of 100, the favor will be returned, and you wont have to listen to the sarcastic shots in forum. takes a little time, but it works.

3.  After you have a piece published, go to your content screen.  on the right side of the screen you will find a side by side arrow (one up, one down).  Click, and you will see a list of icons for sites you can post your triond articles on.  Sign up for as many of these as you can. 

4.  Be respectful in the forums.  90% of the techniques I use to promote my articles, I learned from other Trionders.  This is also one of the rare forums where you will recieve negative, although normally constructive, feedback.

Four simple steps.  Not quick, though.  The whole process will take several hours, but in the process, you will enjoy some modicum of success. 

If you’re here to grow as a writer, it is a good spot.  But keep your ears open, be respectful to your peers, they will help you along the way.  Good Luck.
