Help Yourself by Helping Other Triond Writers

Posted on July 23rd, 2008 in Online Writing by lfcalland

Growing as a writer in Triond is a challenge, and the best way we have to reach the goal is helping each other.

Growing as a writer in Triond is a challenge, and the best way we have to reach the goal, is helping each other.

When I first got to Triond just some weeks ago, I thought that Triond was some sort of competition among writers, and the goal was the Hot Users spot. However, a week ago I had an experience that changed my opinion and the way I see Triond.

I have a couple articles about depression, and although I always had daily few visits in each of them, one day I was shocked to see in my content page that I had more than a hundred visits from midnight to six in the morning in one of these articles. I didn’t understand because the article was kind of old, and I didn’t make anything else to promote it, so, I went to Healthmad page to investigate. An article about depression from another writer had dozens of “I Like It”, and that’s when I understood that my articles that approached the same topic were also receiving visits because the subject was related.

Leave Comments

When you leave a comment to a fellow Triond writer, he has a chance to improve his writing. Your comments and remarks will show the writer what is good and what is bad in an article, and the better the other writers write, more traffic he will direct to Triond. More traffic in Triond, more visits to everyone’s articles. Of course, leaving comments is also a great way of letting the other Triond writers to know you, and when they know you, they will also want to visit your articles and leave comments and remarks.

Don’t Forget to Click the “I Like It” Button

If you enjoy an article, don’t be ashamed to click the “I Like It” button. It not only makes the writer feel good, but also draws attention to his article. Once again, more attention, more traffic, and more visits to everyone’s articles. If you don’t like the article, you should send the author a private message with the reason you didn’t like; it will give an opportunity to the writer to improve his writing (that was at least good enough to lure you to visit the article). There is no reason to sabotage your fellow Triond writers with a bad comment, if you can send him a private message that will help and won’t embarrass him at the same time.

Promote Your Triond Fellows

Promoting your articles is important. I doubled the number of visits in my articles after bookmarking them, and who writes to Triond knows that every bit counts, but that is not all.

Once again, this tip is about Internet traffic. If you see an article from a fellow Triond writer that you liked, you should bookmark it. If an article receives more opinions in “Digg”, for example, it is likely for it to be more visited, and that’s how you are going to be directing traffic to Triond. Once in Triond, the visitor may want to see more, and that’s when every Triond writer benefits.

Well… I hope I gave you some useful insight. Triond is a community and we should be there for each other. I hope this article helped you, and that in the near future I read some article from you that will also help me.

Don’t forget to stumble it, too. (Don’t SPAM Stumbleupon, though – i.e. don’t submit your own articles or too much from the same website)

Great Article. We can all help each other by promoting other writers content.

This is true. A Triond writers first audience is the Triond audience. Eventually we hope we help each other promote our works through Digg and StumbleUpon.

Very good advice. Something I like to do is…when I find an article I like, I include the link in my email to friends and family.

I totally agree with you!
I have just started a group on yahoogroups: “Ineedyourclick”. It pretend to be a place where you can send your links on triond and then they are going to be scheduled so everyone suscribed receive it on their mails and click on it.
That way, the more members it has, the most clicks you are going to have on your articles sooner or later.
As the moderator, I am going to control it so you only receive one mail per day, no more no less, and you only have to click some of them, this is your part of the agreement.
If you like the idea, I will be waiting for you.

Triond is a great place to learn, also. There are always very interesting articles from which something can be learned. Most writers are supportive and friendly, but I have run into very rude writers who seem to not know how to deal with subjects that they disagree with, to which they write very nasty and hateful comments. Triond is not a place to expect great fortunes, but it is a very good place to express yourself and then see how others react to what you write about.

I agree with the help each other idea on Triond. I am fairly new and thought you could book mark your own work for others to read. Am I doing something wrong? Why bookmark? Is the book mark your own personal file like an address book? I copy and paste my writing to transport when leaving a comment. I have not done that yet. I do not see anyone leaving their writing in the comments. Is that in the writer’s guidelines?

As a new Triond user, this article made the system a little clearer to me. Thank you for this article. While I would like to earn some money from what I like to do, I am enjoying the thoughts and ideas of others within the same community.
