What I Think of Triond Users and Owners
I’m a fairly new freelance writer who started here in January 08 and here some of things I love about the Triond community I would like to share with new and old users.
I’m a fairly new published freelance writer, thanks Triond, and I have to truthfully admit when I first joined it was mainly for earning reasons. I found within one month of joining the site my interest in money and earring started to change. I started recieving comments on my work and soon realized I was writing not to make money but to share my work and knowledge with others that where interested.
It was until about Febuary when I wrote my first article that reached over 18,000 views in 3 days that I thought “Hey, maybe I’m actually good at this”. Soon after that I started noticing my fans list grew quickly along with my friends.
The true friends and fans who actually follow and read my work are amazing people and always have a positive but yet helpful comment when I write things which helps me come up with new idea’s and also improve my writing.
I have been in and am a member in many different writing sites and other schemes online but when I found Triond it changed my life online. Most of the people who responed to my work where polite and positive and many had many tips to share with helping with page views but for me truthfully it’s the fans that follow my work each time one is published that makes me the writer I am now.
The writers and readers at Triond are some of the most exceptual and helpful people I have ever had the pleasure in known. I also have to thank my 2 readers Lauren and Bertie who have been watching and commenting on all my work and leaving me useful advice. There are many more fans I’m also thankful for but can’t name all the names but you know who you are.
I have to say the one thing that’s the greatest about Triond and its community is that the site gave me a oppritunity to publish my work and the readers have helped me grow and get better in my skill. Without all of you guys I couldn’t call myself a freelance writer.
Before I end this there is one other person or persons I have to thank and they are the owners, workers and advertisers of Triond. These people have worked very hard over the years to bring this quality and trustworth site to users on the internet who like to write. The owners are very helpful, polite, honest, good hard working people who seem to love their jobs and manage to keep the site open.
Take my word for it that Triond is one of the best online publishing sites for freelance writers and the users are very friendly and always willing to give useful advice if you ask.
Also for the new users that always message me and ask “Do They Pay?” Well let me put your mind to rest and say “Yes”. Honest there has never been one time this site and its owners have never payed me and thats just one of the things that makes this site such a succes and honest site.
So again to the owners of Triond and all my friends and fans, Thank you because without you there is no me as a freelance writer!

Hey Chris,
All I have to say is you are welcome. Your stories, insight and helpful information is always a pleasure to read and I pass on any helpful info to my friends all the time. Your writing is interesting to read, never boring and it shows by all the fans and comments you reecieve. Keep it up you have got the touch and the passion to go far. I agree with you on the money subject for I too started out with the $ sign in mind but soon learned that Triond gives me so much more and thank you for concidering me and mentioning me as one of your fans. I am proud to be one.

Very nice testimonial. I just started with Triond and my 1st article I sent in yesterday, The Fans, it’s about professional sports fans. Am presently writng a book”Baseball (My Opinion), we’ll see how that goes. Thans again.

I would just like to say I’m new to all this, and you just gave the most beautiful insight on writing:) I hope to inspire others as well:)

Chris,
I recently became friends with Lauren and I totally agree. She is a gem. I must admit that I have been here since Aug & this is the first article that I have read of yours. I have been seeing your name on Lauren’s comment section and your comments are never just fluff- like some are.
I could’nt agree more with your above assessment. I too started for money, but have found that the friends like Lauren and Chris Stonecipher are what motivate me to write.
Congrats on 18,000 clicks- that is amazing! And here I thought my 700 clicks was something:)
I hope you do not mind but, I am adding you as a friend.

Blessings & best wishes.
Sincerely,

Thanks for the shout Jo.
It is all about personal relationships on Triond. I came here to relieve myself of the stress of College homework and now I have met so many amazing people from around the globe. I have used many of Chris’s tips to gain more viewership for my articles. He’s a constant help and a great supporter of newbies on Triond. Your the best Chris!

True, very true. Sometimes greater truths can be found and understood when we at first have basser intentions. I am happy you found such quick success. It is a hard luck world, and you seem to have it come easy. Thanks for sharing. I am new to this, come and let me know what you think of my silly thoughts and beer stained words.
Respectfully, no, really,
Niemand

I’m feeling the same way. I only joined a few weeks ago with the same hopes of making a little supplementary income, but it’s really the other writers, friends and fans that make it worth while.

Chris,
I share your sentiments. I too joined Triond just to make a buck and I found that the friendships I am building with other writers is far more important to me than the money. I congratulate you on your success and wish you nothing but the very best.
Warmest Regards,
Chris Stonecipher
