Dreaming of a Million Views
As writers, nothing pleases us more than having people read and share our work, well at least this is the case for me and the main reason why I write and share my work on sites such as Triond and Experts Column.
This enjoyment of sharing my writing has lead me to set myself a new challenge, all be it a very ambitious one but one I am going to give a very good go.
As you can see from the title of this article, the aim of this challenge is to achieve one million views of my articles, recipes and photos across four websites Triond, Experts Column, Wikinut and Redgage.
As those of you have been following me here on Triond for the last twelve months will know, I have had a lot of problems with Wikinut, but seeing as once you publish your articles there you are not able to delete them or your account I have decided to look on the positive side and use the views I gain on Wikinut towards my one million views total.
However, I must add that even though I am including the views generated by Wikinut I will not be posting any new work on the site.
My aim for this challenge is to take all the views I have received over the last twelve months up until today and build on them over the next two years in the hope that I can achieve my target of one million views. I know that to achieve this goal I am going to have to work extremely had and post lots of articles, recipes and photos over the two year period, but for me setting a over ambitious goal always spurs me on to prove that it is achievable.
So the first step in this process is to see were I stand as on today in terms of views in total and broken down across the fours sites. After review my accounts on the four sites, my views to date are as follows;
Wikinut 10,983 views
Triond 8,992 views
Redgage 6,810 views
Experts Column 12,467 views
This gives me a grand total of 39,252 as at 5 June 2012.
For those of you interested in how this challenge is progressing I will be posting weekly updates here on Triond.
Wish me luck, as I think I am going to need it.

good luck, how far are you away than?
June 5th, 2012 at 3:16 pm
I hope you reach your goal..you are on your way, for sure!
June 5th, 2012 at 3:21 pm
Good luck
June 5th, 2012 at 3:23 pm
Tahnk you for the support guys
. To answer Nali’s question i am only another 960,748 views away from hitting my goal of one million views.
June 5th, 2012 at 3:25 pm
Oops typo there, that should have read “thank you” not “tahnk you”
June 5th, 2012 at 4:03 pm
Iam with ya, and will be watching…
June 5th, 2012 at 4:04 pm
All the best!
June 5th, 2012 at 5:15 pm
Good Luck, but to be realistic about it, that dream is likely to remain a dream.
To put things in perspective; I started publishing stuff at Triond in the fall of 2007. I now have 473 items published, which include articles, short stories, poems, and art work. I hit 1 million views not just for one article, but for my entire body of work a couple of months ago in 2012. That’s how long it took for all of my work combined. 1 million views for just one article would be extremely rare with Triond.
June 5th, 2012 at 5:22 pm
Hay Paul best of luck would love to know the outcome so will be watching….
June 5th, 2012 at 6:15 pm
A view too a kill may take sometime, good luck.
June 5th, 2012 at 11:35 pm
Good luck!
June 6th, 2012 at 12:21 am

June 6th, 2012 at 2:19 am
Thank you for all the nice and supportive comments guys
In reply to Bill’s comment, yes it’s a sum of all parts kind of task, so far I have 110 articles posted here on trion, 19 posted on wikinut, 76 on experts column and 246 shares on redgage, with plenty more planned over the next few months
June 6th, 2012 at 3:03 am

Hi Paul. It is wonderful to see you come up with a challenge that will launch you to greater levels and volumes of views and published articles. To further help you attain your target, include the following site for backlinking. It publishes Top articles. Let me be your referrer please:
Join Best-Reviewer.com with anjili as your referrer!
I wish you the best of luck and tonnes of blessings pal. Cheerio.
June 7th, 2012 at 2:38 am

Many thanks Ashabari
the plan is to do an update every tuesday. Its a tough challenge but its a do able one.
June 7th, 2012 at 4:40 am
That’s ambitious and best of luck with it, though I can’t help but wonder whether that level of effort would reap more rewards if invested elsewhere than on here.
June 7th, 2012 at 4:50 am
Best of luck! I hope it works out for you!
June 7th, 2012 at 4:50 am
Best of luck! I hope it works out for you!
June 7th, 2012 at 4:55 am
To be honest Bruce, this challenge is not about the financial reward, it’s about wanting to dhare my work with as many people as possible and staying motivated to do so.
If you are going to set goals in life, always make them high goals
June 7th, 2012 at 6:12 am
You are getting a lot of views, so even if you cannot reach a million, you have shared your writing with many and probably will keep doing so. I often send my writings to Twitter and get more views than I have expected!
June 7th, 2012 at 6:23 am
good morning Paul! Way to go!! Have you looked at HubPages? Of all the places where my articles are I still come back and love HP the most
Try it! Keep on towards that million!
June 7th, 2012 at 6:24 am
Keep us posted up, Paul. The best of luck.
June 7th, 2012 at 7:16 am
Good luck and best wishes. Remember to keep us posted.

Seems like quite the challenge! I’ve never used Wikinut, so I’m not sure how it works, but expertscolumn is nice, albeit it pays less than Triond nowadays(got almost 1,050 views in the past 35 days there and was only paid like $1.90). Good luck!
June 7th, 2012 at 6:27 pm

June 13th, 2012 at 4:22 am
That is definitely on the high side but from the article I could see that it is achieveable!
June 13th, 2012 at 10:03 am
Of course no one has mentioned the best part about this “article”. He’s racking up a whole lot of views with this “article”, but it’s not even an article … lol … It’s just an announcement. That is the best part. Brilliant.
June 13th, 2012 at 6:35 pm
That’s very ambitious. Good Luck to you. I will keep looking up your articles to help. Feel free to look up my articles as well. I am also on Redgage,Expertscolumn, and Wikinut. I decided to just stay on Triond, post pictures on Redgage, Expertcolumn while working on my ebooks. I hope to have 10 completed ebooks both fiction and health by 2013. Wish me luck. I have 2 done right now. Processed Food: Uncovering the Truth ebook on Amazon.com. Help me spread the word for only$.99.
