My Writing Journey with Triond
I purposely write this article to show my feelings towards Triond of how grateful I was that I joined this writing site.
T-riond is here!
R-egister and be
I -nlove with this
O-nline writing
N-etwork that will led to your
D-ream
I had this draft 14 days ago. It means, I started to write this article 2 days after I actively involved with this site, submitted and published articles. The first day, was full of excitement and the following days, of course. Now, I had all the reason to continue this draft and will publish it.
Like many of us, we joined Triond to earn something from our writings, to enhance and to develop our writing skills as well. Honestly, I don’t know what to write on Triond. I always had that self-impression that I love to write and I want to be a writer but I was having difficulty to write on a such particular topic.
Writing is one of the most thing I want to do in life. I love poetry, history, and anything related to writing. I was looking for some place online where I can start putting up my skills. I am not an English native speaker, so writing online is very intimidating for me. Articles being declined is somewhat not a good thing. But it is a fact, I need to develop my skills in writing. I need a site that will go along with me as a newbie.
THE WRITING JOURNEY BEGINS

One day, I came across to this website Triond.com. Firstly, I didn’t think about earning. My main goal is to develop my writing and at least can publish one article. So I joined the site and submit my own poem. Unluckily, it was not publish and they advised me for revision. I stopped to that point and didn’t check my Triond account again. Few months later, I got an email saying that I had a fan on Triond. It made me to go back and check my account and I pushed myself to write one article and give it an another try.
Surprisingly, my article published and that day I learned that I can earn from that. I do check it everyday and I got views but my earning was zero. Again, I was a wanderer and forget Triond for the second time.
Two months later, I got a new fan again from Triond. As usual, it made me check my Triond one more. I am blessed because the one who added me to his friend is a good man (Bro. Nelson Doyle). I send him an email and he replied me with an encouragement to continue writing on Triond and don’t give up. At that time, I earned cents from my one published article and it was my turning point. I write 3 other articles that same day and were published instantly.
The highlight of my Triond experience was having a google adsense account. My blogspot site is still on its hundred steps away before it will get an Adsense approval. I was so thankful that after the 5 articles that I submitted to Triond I was able to apply for a Google Adsense and been approved after 4 days. It was really a big surprised for me.As far as I knew, someone from my country usually having a hard time for Adsense approval by using blogs and website as it needs more works and traffic. So, I considered Triond did a good part on my Google Adsense approval. I am not limiting myself to only one writing site. I want to go to the next level and goal, which is to earn money from my articles. But as long as my writing path is concern, I will not let my Triond account left behind. Happy Journey with Triond.

I wish you well with your writing. I published my first 18 months ago, second a year ago and just left it. It took a ‘fan notification’ email to draw me back here also. Now I can’t bear the thought of leaving the site again- I enjoy writing here too much! Good luck with your continuing writing journey here with Triond!

Greetings Sister Lyn -
This is the first article of yours that I have had the pleasure reading. Your English writing skills isn’t all too bad, I am an English speaker and writer and you actually write better than I do is some ways. I really did enjoy reading this inspirational piece that you have written. It gives the reader like myself a window into your heart and mind, which is actually a good way to connect on a deeper level with your audience and keep them coming back for more.
The best topic, which a writer can write about are the ones which they have the most personal experience or knowledge dealing with. There is a market for nearly anything that a writer will choose to write about. Some of these markets may be very large and broad, while others may be small and niche, but the better knowledge and personal experience you have regarding the topics that you write about, then the better it will reach out a pull your readers in, so to continue on reading what you write.
So, never give up and push forward and success will eventually catch up with your efforts.
May GOD BLESS all your journeys and endeavors.
Your Brother in Christ,
Nelson Doyle

Wow you have a great journey here, my dear friend! Well for the honest truth, money is just a ’side-effect’ of doing what you like. So keep doing whatever you want, then you will get money. Whether you will get a bunch of it or not, it really depends on how willingly you want to reach your goals. If you have a though spirit, there will be no hard route in front of you. Have a great writing day!
