Triond’s Uniqueness
Writing and publishing and getting paid by Triond has a simplicity that is rare for online writing.
Don’t think I own stock in Triond. I wish I did. But it seems to me that Triond has a classic user-friendly simplicity that other pay-for-content sites don’t have.
Now let me state up front that all I do is publish text. So I’m just writing about text. And my knowledge about other sites is mainly second hand. I don’t write articles for anyone else. I even stopped writing for my own blog. And my second hand knowledge comes mainly from the the articles and comments of the Triond community.

What I gather from the community is that other sites may or may not pay you. They base your income on several possibilities. It takes a while for them to post your content. You have to write about certain things…
Forget it. I’m more of a Wham! Bam! Thank you, Mam! kind of a guy. I’m talking writing here. Get your mind out of the gutter.
Call me naive. Call me old fashion. I can’t help it. I am what I am and that’s all that I am. And what kind of writer am I?
I’m the kind of writer who wants to write, post and get my money when it’s due. Is that asking too much? I don’t think so. Or am I asking too little?
I’m looking forward to seeing the comments on this one.
Maybe Triond does offer some public stock. A writer has to be a business person, too.

Triond is user friedly as you say. Even those who don’t have much of writing experience,but has a flair for writing, can publish articles. I am for triond.
October 6th, 2009 at 7:35 am
I do write for multiple sites and while I love it sometimes all the different one with all their different rules do leave me questioning things. Great article! Triond has many advantages. I like it!
October 6th, 2009 at 7:52 am
good thoughts. thumbs up!!! triond pays when it is due.
October 6th, 2009 at 7:54 am
I like writing on Triond for the reasons you mentioned, but also because I enjoy the contact with other writers. Triond is not my main source of writing income, but it is nice to watch my earnings creep up.
October 6th, 2009 at 8:05 am
I have never written on a writing site yet, that did not pay and pay on time once I earned the approiate amount. All sites have their good and bad points.
I do love Triond the best though, mainly because of the other writers (though the site itself is good) there is a sense of sharing on this site that no other site has matched!
October 6th, 2009 at 8:18 am
I have not had a bad experience in a writing site, so far, and I agree with Martie, Triond is very user friendly and I like that everything is mostly at a glance to get to it. Also, the Triond writers are friendly and there is a different vibe here, that I have not seen in other sites.
October 6th, 2009 at 8:51 am
There is a bit of user-friendliness to Triond that appeals to me. Sure do wish those pennies would add up quicker though.
October 6th, 2009 at 9:15 am
chitragopi, one reason why I like Triond so much is I don’t have to deal with adding my own adds or placing my content on the right site. Triond does it for me.
October 6th, 2009 at 9:23 am
Mrs. Heart, I made the decision just to write for Triond. I understand why other writers write for several sites at the same time. I’m betting that concentrating on just one site will pay off in the long run and it makes life so much easier. Simplicity is sort of my personal gospel.
October 6th, 2009 at 9:28 am
SVK, getting paid anything over 49 cents and getting it when it’s due is a big plus. I can pay my AOL bill now every month from my Triond work.
October 6th, 2009 at 9:33 am
Frances, I spend a lot of time reading the work of other writers in the community. I’ve picked up a lot about online writing from the community.
October 6th, 2009 at 9:39 am
martie, I know nothing about other sites and how the writers relate to each other but several other Triond writers have also pointed out the friendliness of the Triond community.
October 6th, 2009 at 9:41 am
Triond is nice and unique as you said. It is easy to use and when you write great articles, it pays off. Not like other sites, you can write and make your articles as unique as you want it. The writers are good and friendly people too and they are not afraid to be honest with you.
Thanks everyone!
October 6th, 2009 at 9:46 am
Marie, that’s good to know. You know even if I wanted to write for another site I wouldn’t be able to because I don’t have the content or the time.
October 6th, 2009 at 9:50 am
Papa, I also like the user friendliness and I also wish the pennies would add up faster. Well, I have faith. Nothing happens fast in writing.
October 6th, 2009 at 9:54 am
I agree and the supporting community is another plus
October 6th, 2009 at 9:54 am
Sasha, I look forward every morning to reading the new content the the writers on Triond produce. It’s part of my morning routine.
October 6th, 2009 at 9:57 am
strovek, Triond is the only site I write for. I was lucky to find it when I did. Now publishing and writing are fun again.
October 6th, 2009 at 12:03 pm
I like to write and post on Triond too. Time is always the problem for me to post regularly. I love to see my income increase slowly even though with only a single cent each time.
October 6th, 2009 at 12:16 pm
I think all of us agree with you on this one Guy! Thanks for another informative and enjoyable article-your sense of humor is really nice too.
A friend of mine turned me on to Triond and I’ve been hooked ever since-the article I wrote on depression just didn’t come from some idea I read somewhere-but now being with Triond and its wonderful family of writers, I can look forward to something very valid and tangible to focus on… and thanks for all of the help you give us in your articles!
October 6th, 2009 at 2:39 pm
So far… no complaints against Triond. I think this site is good.
October 6th, 2009 at 4:48 pm
Yeah this site has been great for me, I’m loving it
October 6th, 2009 at 5:20 pm
Triond is the only thing I write for. I may not get alot of money out of it but it is better than nothing
October 6th, 2009 at 7:09 pm
Agnes, the earnings are very slow. I’m lucky that I can put several hours a day into Triond.
October 6th, 2009 at 7:15 pm
mo, now that I’ve taken early retirement, Triond has become the focus of my writing life. I could do a lot worse. As a matter of fact I feel lucky to have found Triond.
October 6th, 2009 at 7:19 pm
Sourav, Triond is definitely a good site for me. I don’t worry about anything. I just write.
October 6th, 2009 at 7:24 pm
Aleena, I only wish I could publish something new every day. I think once you get up to 500 articles you start making money.
October 6th, 2009 at 7:29 pm
royee, I’m hoping that the closer I get to 500 published pieces the happier I’ll be with the money. I still have 330 pieces to go.
October 6th, 2009 at 7:31 pm
Hi Guy,
Good article and I have to agree with you on Triond. I am in the same boat as you, I don’t write for other sites, mainly because I don’t have time. I have read what others say about difference sites and it only makes me want to stay here more. I like to write about what I like to write about. Sometimes I try to write something I know will garner a lot of hits but at other times I want to write something for my joy and pleasure. I am here to stay at Triond and I hope other will join us.
October 7th, 2009 at 9:15 am
Top article.
Keep up the good work.
October 7th, 2009 at 11:10 am
PR, you and I feel pretty much the same about Triond; and the exciting thing is Triond is still growing. I think it has a real future and we are a part of that future. Is this a great site, or what?
October 7th, 2009 at 11:14 am
Friendly.Gummy.Bear, I like writing about Triond. We all have a stake in Triond doing well. I want to be part of the action.
October 8th, 2009 at 1:13 am
i agree with you this is a great place to be. nice article
October 9th, 2009 at 6:16 pm
Dear Vietnam War veteran,
Please note that you have expressed here your opinion at the end of your article : May be Triond may offer some public stock; a writer has to be a business person too.Nothing wrong in expressing an idea like this.Can’t I express similar ideas or opinions in my own article ?
October 9th, 2009 at 10:11 pm
Southgate, expressing ideas is what we are all doing even when we don’t agree.
October 15th, 2009 at 12:38 pm
I too like Triond even though I have only been here a week.. I takes time to write and publish but I am working at it.
October 16th, 2009 at 11:56 am
Great Photo..
