Starting Your Morning with Triond: Twittering, Bookmarking and Using Declined Articles

Grab a cup of coffee, curl up in your favorite chair, and practice this routine for starting your day with Triond: check your earnings, Twitter your articles, create a Xomblurb around new content and even reuse declined articles.

One of the first things I do each morning is to log-in to Triond.

I peruse the dashboard to see who’s written what, I may swing over to the trending topics to see what’s cooking there, I then check my comments and my earnings.

Starting the Day With Triond

Earnings Overview

When I sign in to the Triond site, one of the first things I see is the Earnings Overview. A neat trick is to calculate your daily earnings by averaging them over a month. This helps you to set fresh earning goals.

Friend News

One of the first sections I check is Friend News. If I see an article title that looks interesting, I’ll click on it to view the article. I may leave a comment, give it a Liked It or bookmark it.

Hot Content

The next section I check is the Hot Content. I’ll admit, If I see an article by one of my favorite writers, I will check it out, leave a comment and I may bookmark it. I believe when you help others, you help yourself. This undertaking always leaves me with a good feeling.

Content

Next, I go to Content to check my article views. While there, I click on Comments and may reply to these.

While I’m still in this section, I right-click on my article titles and include 5-10 of these at Twitter.

Why Bother Starting the Day with Triond?

Starting the day with Triond accomplishes a number of things

  • Bookmarking–I support other Triond writers by bookmarking their articles–because I do this I’m not viewed as a spammer at these sites, which means I can bookmark my own articles, worry-free. As well, generally, when writers know someone supports their work, they often return the favor.
  • Adding Article Bookmarks at Xomba–I use this time to scan over my Triond articles and, if I’ve missed already doing so, I right-click on a title to grab the URL and swing over to Xomba to paste in the link and a blurb to send new visitors to my articles. I love the concept of earning while bookmarking your own articles!
  • Using Twitter to Increase Article Views–I’m increasing my article views using Twitter on a regular basis. My followers are used to seeing my posts and I try to include newer and older Triond articles. I simply go to Show Rows and select the first couple of columns, then I’ll go over to the oldest articles and grap a few URLS from there. This activity keeps all of my Triond articles in circulation.
  • Declined Articles–A very neat trick to recycle ALL of your Triond content is to check the Declined Articles section occasionally. Why? If an article has been declined by Triond, simply copy and paste it elsewhere. You’ve gone to the work to write it; you might as well earn from it. For example, when Triond declines one of my articles, I will often include it at HubPages.

Triond can be a nice site to start the morning with. By following a daily routine, you enlarge on your efforts.
