Five Tricks for Writing a Successful Article

How do you write a good article?

Writing is an art. It gives vital information that helps other people learn about that subject. Without writing, there would be no civilization. And for all of you people trying to make a small income writing articles for Triond, Bukisa, or another website that pays you to write, it’s the only thing you have to get close to getting some extra cash on your hands. I understand how you teenage writers like me feel. We try so hard to make a small income from Triond, but end up with a check with only 30 cents at the end of the month.

You can get more money from Triond, though. There are some people that make 20 to 30 dollars from Triond, and a few talented writers that make over a hundred dollars a month. But most of us don’t. Why? We don’t do enough to get people to read our article. Some of the articles are just not good enough for people to read, and there are some articles that are good, but we don’t bother to raise traffic to them.That is what keeps us from not making the extra twenty to thirty tax free dollars every month. We just don’t do enough.

Sometimes it is because there is not enough traffic for a subject, but there are many times that we just don’t write a good quality article.

This was my problem. I couldn’t write articles that people would worship.

So this is why I wrote some of the most stupidest article out there:

“Bigfoot, Fact Or Fiction?”

Well, I’m never going to go on that route ever again.

So what should you do that I shouldn’t have done? Here are some tips:

  1. Chose a good topic to write about. Don’t pick one that no one is willing to look up on the internet, cause no one is going to visit your page.
  2. Try to not sound like a robot spitting out random information. If you do, no one will like that article; they’ll just think of as stupid and get away as fast as possible. We don’t want that, do we?
  3. Try writing about personal experiences. That always works. People that come across that article will keep reading it. Why is that important? Because they will comment on it.
  4. Write about recent events. People will always search for something that happened recently.
  5. Write like you are not being judged by others. You will get a good amount of good comments this way.

Writing hasn’t worked for me the way I wanted to, yet. I hope I actually follow my advice and write good. Please comment on this article. I need some ways to make my writing better.

    Hello, gourab:

    It’s good to come across an article on Triond written by a teenager. Yes, to make any kind of money on content websites like Triond it takes a lot of time and effort. It’s real work. I’m retired, a professional blogger, a lot older than you, but I spend all day blogging on Triond and my personal blog, http://www.pittsburghflashfictiongazette.com

    My income from Triond for the months of April, May and June was $0.64, $1.77 and $2.44. As long as my monthly income keeps going up, I’ll be happy. Most of my hits come from my personal blog. You are right to say that to make any kind of money means a writer has to write articles that other people want to read. Let me add that the writer has to post on Triond at least one article a day. There is no other way.

    Plus, the writer has to promote his or her articles. I do this with my personal blog.

    So, I want to wish you good luck and to say you have written an interesting article.

    Hello gourab,

    Being new to Triond myself, I don’t have much advice to add to what you’ve already given and what Guy has said, but I wanted to thank you for sharing your experience and wish you luck!

    Credit where credit is due, this article is well written (not neccesarily 100% helpful) but well written.

    The best way to be successful at online writing is to work hard and not be afraid to try new avenues and find out what works for you and what doesn’t. There is no correct or incorrect answer, it differs from person to person.

    :)
