How You Can Make $100 Each Month Writing for Triond

Posted on February 28th, 2009 in Online Writing by Athlyn Green

Most writers dream of the day that they will cross over from making pennies to dollars. How can a writer go from making those pennies to earning $100.00 a month writing Triond articles?

In a recent article, I asked What Are Your Income Goals for Triond? In that article, I offered a general formula based on my own experience. I noted that for every batch of 100 articles, my Triond earnings were approximately $25.00. I then worked out that if a person wrote two articles each week, he or she could double those earnings in one year.

If a person wanted to earn $100.00 each month from Triond articles, they would have to produce approximately 400 articles in one year.

Breaking this down (based on 4 weeks each month), a writer would have to produce: 2 articles each day, which would equal 10 articles each week, which would result in 40 articles each month and that would 480 articles in one year. Or, if you based your calculations on 52 weeks in a year, this would work out to be 10 articles each week x 52 weeks = 520 articles in one year, which would mean you would make $100.00 or more each month writing for Triond.

So, for those who have set a goal of making $100.00 per month from Triond writing, the “2 articles per day or 10 articles a week” formula will help them to reach their objective in one year. That’s seems reachable, doesn’t it?

Great article! this is an inspiration for new writers that have been with Triond a short time, and who are watching their pennies grow.

We all are penny wise

and pound foolish

but if we had the pounds

we wouldn’t be running after anyone

incl triond.

This sort of presupposes that every article written sustains an audience for an entire year, when most of them fade from digital consciousness in a couple of weeks.

I was going to make the same point as Reilley – but perhaps one could assume that as the year went on and your reputation grew, you would get more clicks! Maybe!

One thing that is missing here, however, is the subject of quality. If people put just any old thing on line they will earn nothing. However, if they produce high quality work and market it sufficiently then their work will be read by more and more people.

I personally believe that the secret to Triond is quality and not quantity – but that is probably because I simply do not have the time to write two articles a day!!

Good thought provoking post!

well, i just would like to point out that quantity plus quality will be the surest formula to achieve the goal of earning a hundred dollars each month.

This certainly answers questions I have — the reasons I am just in the ‘pennies’ or ‘cents’ – it makes ’sense’ — with writing and composing songs, if I can get the music written, and record one or two a week, I’m going good. Perhaps I just have to be so happy with the amazing ‘platform’ Triond supplies for creative people to share their talent and works. Thanks for this article, it is good.

Hello Everyone,

thank you for your comments.

When I wrote this, it was a given that I was discussing quality articles and not just fluff. If you want a sustained readership, you have to offer value to your readers. You also have to do your part to link to your articles at every opportunity so that you drive traffic to them down the road.

I also mentioned that this was a general guideline based on my own experience. It’s also a given that each writer’s earnings may be different. But, overall, if you work at it, you can earn a growing income from Triond. While it won’t replace your present income, it still helps in challenging economic times.

As well, good articles don’t necessarily fade. The are bookmarked and linked to and you continue to earn from them. Some of my earliest articles at Triond still pull in the most monthly earnings because the topics are such that they draw readers.

I hope that this encourages all of us to keep trying and to keep the long-term goal in view.

I’ve just written an article at my Writing blog, ‘Write and Earn a Living’ that discusses the whole 250 articles = $100.00 concept for writers who create content for multiple sites.

Hi Andromeda,
Nice to see you again! Send me an e-mail and let me know how things are with you.

Hi Reilley,
You raise a good point. Online writing entails more than simply writing. Writers have to work to make their articles “sticky.”

Hi RJ,
It’s interesting that some articles seem to take off and others don’t do as well. Evergreen articles are really the earners. They talk about that over at HubPages and I can really see why. These are the articles that people seem to return to or hunt up, repeatedly.

The good thing about producing content is that as time goes by, you develop a feel for articles that may be evergreen. And then, of course, there is always the surprise article–the one you weren’t even sure would draw views and it outperforms everything else, to your amazement.

If Triond writers can achieve a hot article for every 10 or so articles they write, they aren’t doing too badly at all.

Hey hey! It actually worked…

Sorry; I was running a test there–realize it wasn’t a very…informative…comment….(I’m having trouble with leaving comments on this site in particular for some reason; I’m not entirely sure why that is…)

Anyway! Great article; it definitely put a grin on my face as I am still trying to break the first figure in my profits (basically I’m lightly saying that I’m still in cents…:D); but with a bit of guidance and listening to sane and accurate advice such as what you have written here, it’ll come through (I hope! )

Nice job; it really was a pleasure to read.

See you around!

100 dollars a month works out to be 25 a week. Writing two articles a day would take about 5 hours, depending on how fast you work. You may as well just get a part time job and do about three hours a week, the income would be the same. These sites are just a joke really.
BC Doan
March 1st, 2009 at 11:02 am

Your points are well taken, Athlyn! Writing alone won’t bring in readers, and you have to heavily marketing or promoting your work also to achieve this goal…It’s possible if you put some elbow grease in it!
Athlyn Green
March 1st, 2009 at 11:56 am

Hi Bob,
While admittedly, the pay seems low. There are other reasons that make creating an article base attractive.

1. These articles pay month after month, so estimated earnings can’t be based on a short time window.
2. You do work once and get paid repeatedly. Now, take your scenario about the part time job. If you quit, the income would stop–not so with an article base.
3. Many people would prefer to earn money from the comfort of home. They can choose when and how long they work.
4. Writers want to spend their time writing, just as a mechanics would tinker on cars, we tinker with words.

It’s really a numbers game, Bob. If you look at the long term picture, the work we do today will pay us well into the future.
Athlyn Green
March 1st, 2009 at 12:01 pm

Hi BC
,
Your points are well taken. That’s the other part of the picture, marketing your articles so that they circulate and earn for you down the road.

It helps to have some sort of plan for your articles: bookmarking, using article feeds, using widgets, inner article linking, linking from other sites to your article, linking from your blogs, submitting your article URLS, researching keywords, etc.

While this seems to be an extra undertaking, in addition to writing, in my experience, it really makes a difference.

Thank you for sharing this information. I was under the impression that the more clicks you received, that is on the ads, the more money you would earn. I been here since mid-Nov. and have only made roughy $7.00. I would like to make more, but life is important, so I can’t sit and written for just pennies, so I have to do it for the joy of it and if I receive monies for it, so be it. Can’t make any substantial funds here, in my opinion.
Athlyn Green
March 1st, 2009 at 4:20 pm

Hi, Oh Sugar,

You are correct. Revenue is generated when someone clicks on ads. on your pages. But–and here’s the big but–if you do your part so that your articles stay in circulation, more people read them, hence more clicks.

When I first started with Triond. I just wrote articles and my early earnings were very small. Over time, I looked at ways to increase page views–and I saw a big jump in views and earnings.

All this does take work but for someone wanting to supplement their income or for those who are really prolific, Triond pays–especially over time. Some use it to supplement and a very few earn enough to use Triond as their main source of income.

I work a number of writing gigs in a month but I always try to keep something published with Triond because I like the regular payment, the ease of use, and the great community of writers.

Earning money by writing is not about how fast you can type, but much more about whether you have the talent, as a writer, to consistently produce pieces of work that contain interesting content that people want to read.

And then to market yourself and your work effectively so that you attract a large reading audience.
Brady Frost

Good call, James.

I tend to shy away from the idea behind this article, but I do understand that it was formulated to draw a lot of traffic. In that, it is a huge success. People naturally want to know how to make more money using Triond, but sometimes we need to hear the “write more quality content” just to give ourselves that bit of a pep talk.

Some of my articles didn’t make much on first publication on Triond but I’ve noticed them start to trickle in. Every little bit helps. Sometimes you will get articles that do the opposite. Just keep writing and be yourself. You’ll likely find the niche that you’re looking for. Or perhaps that niche has been looking for you…

Happy writing!

Hi James,

It’s a given that writers should produce good-quality articles, as I’ve touched on in a number of articles. We have to offer value to our readers. But once we’ve done that, it doesn’t hurt to set a goal of what we want to be making and then work towards it.
Athlyn Green
March 3rd, 2009 at 9:56 pm

Hi James,
Yes, articles tend to fluctuate. The best rule of thumb is to provide value and to link to your articles so that they continue to earn for you.

I never heard of Triond. I just started with Associated Content which may be something of the same thing only they only pay $2.25 to begin with and add $1.50 for every thousand clicks. So I’m going to have to look up Triond.

This seems like a great way to earn, I will have to try it, only I have the problem of being at boarding school, and having to work from 7:20 in the morning to 9:00 at night, just to finish my work in time! I’m going to try and use some of my old work, and write some other stuff during my breaks and lunch + i have some great people around me who always have great ideas for my articles!!!!!

Thanks for the article, it’s a great help!

Hello,
You will notice an increase in your earnings if you adopt an article goal and then stick to it. This is the fastest way I know of to see an upswing in earnings.

* Adopt and article goal
* Stick to it
* Earn real money

Everyone is different. I’m sure that there are talented writers out there that can produce quality content at a high quantity. But then again, why wouldn’t they go for a job working at About.com where pay is automatic? The deal here is working this into your life however you see fit. I work 55-80 hours a week, not counting deployments, field time and being a parent. I look at it as a fun hobby that is more like a savings account.

The whole article formula is great but it isn’t something that everyone can follow. Cutest Princess has had an article in the top ten for, I don’t know, seems like forever now. My experience has been that I have consistant earners. I have articles that earn $8 or more a month by themselves. Then I have a few that make 10 cents or less a month. It’s every month, like clock work. I’m sure that if I had the luxury of time I could market and link and socialize more but I don’t. That is me. You as the writer have to determine whether you are willing to put out good, quality content, do the research on how to write online and continually add to it. Success will not happen over night and if you think it will you will burn out fast.

Thanks Athlyn. Always a pleasure to read your work.

Hi Army,
You’ve made some very good points. Each person’s reason for writing for Triond is different and so is the time available.

And many people will not be able to devote the time they need to write enough articles to make $100.00 per month.

This article was mainly written for those who have the time and circumstances and who want to know how to reach the $100.00 each month level.

Many of us write at Triond because over a one-off payment, we see rewards for our work, over and over again.

That was both informative and encouraging. I suppose it is hard for beginners in Triond (like me) to realize that making dollars is possible; let alone hundreds.

Of course, as people above have said, there is always a issue of “luck” or simply whether people visit your articles. Although so, the number of articles one might have would cushion one from such chances.

Thanks for this article. It was certainly very thought provoking.

For seasoned writers, Triond offers the opportunity to add another smaller income stream to their writing efforts. Many work writing gigs that pay more but then write shorter articles for Triond so that the combined monthly earnings continue to grow.

Why bother with Triond?

1. Many of us have found a home of sorts here. We’ve made friends/writing contacts and enjoy the interchange.

2. Monthly payments are always on time.

3. Higher paying gigs often are also more challenging. Triond allows for creation of easier articles and a writer chooses whether he will write for pleasure of tweak the article via SEO for an Internet audience.

4. Triond helps writers to build an online presence. Some writers have been offered jobs, other writers have had books published.

I’m sorry, I make four times as much on Helium and three times as much on Associated Content. On Ehow, I make six times as much. I will throw an article on here at least once or twice a month but for the money I’m looking to the others. I have a larger following on them even though I have been on triond longer. I market them all the same. The folks on triond are great, don’t get me wrong! I love my dear friends here and I enjoy sharing comments but to make a living I have to rely on the others. In one month I actually tried by loading 20 articles on triond and I still made much less than I do on the other sites.

Hi Lin,
Thanks for sharing your insights. I wish eHow paid Canadian writers. I love their format for articles.

Triond is just one of a number of writing opportunities that allows for ongoing monthly income. I always encourage people to work more than one writing gig so that they have multiple income streams coming in. After awhile, you get a feel for which type of articles do better on which sites. Some recipe articles do very well on some sites and not so well on others.

With the addition of AdSense earnings from Triond articles have taken an upswing, which is a real boon to those who have created a number of articles here.

Hi,
Just work at it steadily and aim for 2 articles a day, if you can do this and if your circumstances permit. Link as often as you can to your articles and you may reach your target amount of $100.00 per month.
