Just signed up to Triond but don’t know what to write about? Check these tips out and get started on your first article now.
Many people that start out in Triond have no idea on what to make your articles about. I stumbled on that same question. The point of Triond is to write articles that people will read and you get paid for the views you get. Basically, you have to write articles and get a lot of people to read them, or at least view them, but what can you write them about? There are plenty of topics, but where can you get your inspiration from?
It doesn’t look like it matters what you write about – you can basically write anything and it might get hits. The first step is brainstorming what you are going to write about and then create an eye-catching title and ultimately make the content for it.
Here are some suggestions how to think, brainstorm, or come up with an article:
For the first suggestion, you can take a small notepad in your pocket and write about anything anywhere. For example, when you go to a party and see some people underage drinking, you can write what you think about it, weather it be if it is right, or wrong to drink while you are underage. Another way is when you go to the movies. Write what you thought of the movie and if it was worth watching, etc
Taking a camera with you is also a good idea. While at a walk at the park you might see a beautiful sunset and you can take a picture of it. When you get home you can upload it and write about it. Write why you took that picture and what you feel about it.
Additionally, you can read the newspaper and/or other people’s blogs. After reading them give an opinion about that. Let’s say your state governor gets caught cheating on his wife. Write about if he can be trusted again.
To sum it all up, anything you write is original content, even if you didn’t make up the story. Your views and ideas about the story is the content. Work at it for a couple weeks, then when you come up with more ideas of how you create articles, then publish them.
