“If you can dream it, you can do it!” – Walt Disney.
I was surfing the net, curious about what other people were saying/writing about Triond.com when I came across Triond’s July 2007 newsletter. In it, it states the following:
“There are many examples of such prolific writers. Here are just a few:
I was stunned to see my name on the list. I share this information because you truly never know who is reading your work, when others will be writing about you, and when your articles will make the top Google search engine results. So, continue to believe with all your heart, anything you imagine is possible.
“If you can dream it, you can do it!”
-Walt Disney.
I began writing for Triond about two years ago. Like most new and seasoned writers, I was looking for a place where I could write what I wanted, when I wanted, with the best income earning potential. Two years later after truly grasping the big picture and limitless possibilities, I have increasingly become a dedicated “Triond loyalist”.
In the beginning, it is true the payoff was little to nothing, but I told myself to persevere.
Why?
Because, you can reach any level of success you want, you just have to find something you love with an unwavering passion and then commit 100% to it. Once you do this, your success begins to multiply. Keep in mind, everything you have done builds from the past like the momentum of a small flame catching the wind and igniting the world. I have had articles that receive little to no views and then suddenly out of nowhere enjoy 500 views in one day! So don’t give up on your work. You never know when one of your pieces will spontaneously catch a breeze and light up all that comes its way.
Along the path to Triond/Writer Super Stardom, it is important to constantly remind yourself, when creating anything of quality you must often work long hard hours in the initial stages with little to no profit.
For example, if you want to build a house you cannot even begin the construction process until you first pick a location and then create a plan. Once you have the blue prints in hand, it is at this point that you can start contemplating the building phase. Next, you must take time to purchase the material and it is during this step you will most likely try something, change your mind, change it, change it again and so forth.
And finally, once the house is completely constructed, you must decorate it, become creative and make sure you maintain it from time to time. You see, after construction and design, you will come to realize that most of the hard work is behind you and only responsible “tune-ups” are needed on a consistent, but less demanding basis. But in order to reach this level of success, you must be there consistently every step of the way to ensure your “house” is finished with quality workmanship that reflects timeless value and beauty.
Comparably, once you have created enough writing content, made each piece the highest quality work you can possibly create, you will begin to see earnings in the $100+/day level. This is attainable! This is in your future! The numbers are logical and they add up. Just keep working steadily and consistently. Breathe in reading, tips to improve your work, and keep your eyes focused on articles that most attract and capture your attention. Learn from them, learn from everything, learn from the best and make all your dreams a reality!
You already ARE a Triond/Writer Super Star – believe it with everything in your heart.
Don’t be surprised when, one day, Oprah reads your articles, adds them to her new online writer of the month segment and invites you to be a guest on her live show. She does not have such a segment right now, so who knows? She might just read this article and get the idea. You never know…
Always keep in mind the possibilities are truly endless…

Nice you have the same goals as myself!
October 14th, 2008 at 9:07 am
This is most inspirational and makes one dream of that moment when we can say we’re successful at this writing thing. That comment about Oprah is funny because I had written her years ago suggesting a segment of amateur writers in association with her book reading club, just to get people noticed. But, I never heard back. Oh well, we’ll keep trying. Excellent write and congratulations to you. I can only aspire for the same success you have. Michael
