I just happened upon this new way to increase views daily by chance, not by genius. It has brought me a steadily rising number of views from outside Triond on a daily basis.
I was just minding my own tax business; so to speak, when I saw a question from someone on the site I was e-filing my taxes on. The question I saw was related to an article I had recently written about taxes on Triond. I subsequently answered the person’s question by simply posting my link in the chat box. I was just trying to be helpful and got a bonus for my trouble.
Now, here is the kicker. When I first posted this article on the $7500.00 tax credit for first time homebuyers, it didn’t really get many views, likes or comments. But, after posting my link to the work I suddenly began seeing my counts rise daily; not huge, but significantly. I was just strolling through my content looking at my total views, which I review from time to time. That’s when I abruptly scrolled backwards and noticed my views on that piece were up to 65 from a dead 25 a few days before. It just kept climbing steadily higher.
Guess what I did? I went back and posted my link to other people asking the same question. The result: More views. I was excited, so I posted another piece on taxes, and I am starting to see the same. The site is Turbo Tax. www.turbotax.intuit.com
What do you need to do?
- Sign-up for their free live chat community: You only need an email account and password.
- Review questions people are asking and make note of those you can answer easily with a little research at www.IRS.gov. That’s the amazing part. All the answers are there.
- Study the answer at the IRS site and put it in simple, easy-to-understand language, and post it here on Triond. Anyone, from any country can make this work.
- Go back to the site and click on the search button for “unanswered questions”. This will save you a lot of time searching and you will find the freshest posts, which are seen first by all newcomers.
- Paste your link in the answer box. Go back throughout different times of the day and post some more to keep yourself in the fresh and first batches viewed. It’s so easy, and far more views for the time involved.
- You will be in business until tax season winds down. The views will continue because people come back on and ask the same question on different days, or in different ways.
- Subjects Galore: You will see there is no shortage of subjects. You will get a few good laughs at some of these questions. (A perk) Lol!
- You shouldn’t expect a lot of comments or like button hits;after all, they have no idea how to find their way around at Triond. They are just following a link for an answer. We are paid by views, right?
- Kick back and let the pennies roll in. (Smile) I don’t know if you’ll see thousands, but you will get hundreds with a few minutes of keeping it fresh by pasting a few links.
- I am off to look for other opportunities like this. We must be creative.

Great information, and Triond actually tells us to do this with each article we publish. They say, send the links to friends and post them on forums you frequent. Its all in that email we get with a successful publish! Great info though and smart taking advantage of the tax season, everyone has questions about taxes

Thanks for sharing. Any of this actions may help to increase views. It also depends on the subject, but making comments or posting outside Triond, including links to your article or profile can get some attention.
