Silly Success with Triond
I’ve been a member here since approximately a month ago and have posted just six articles since then. I do not have much time to write here because of loads of programming works at school and that frustrates me.
I’m not really a writer. Actually, I’m just starting or trying to be one for it has always been one of my dream to be able to write effectively. If I got the time, then maybe I might befriend pro writers here and seek their advices or maybe read articles from other writers here and ofcourse, try those things out since experience is still the best teacher.
Well, anyway, I’ve been trying to think of a topic which could be in the Hot Content List but I guess it is still beyond my capabilities to post one so I just tried to post what I can post. It amazes me everytime I see 1 or 2 people view my posts daily. It may be a silly thing but still, I feel so happy about it. And when I earned my first cent ($0.01), I told my sister immediately about it and told her how I felt great about it. Views kept on coming and coming until it reached 140+ something or so.
For a month, i earned 140+ something views from my 6 articles. It feels so great whenever people recognize your articles no matter how silly or senseless it may be. I never expected my articles to be viewed as much as that.
From those views, I earned a total of $0.08 LOL! I know I would’nt be able to buy even a bread to feed myself from this earning but I’m proud to say that “I earned $0.08 dollars this month cuz i worked for it”.
This boosted my motivation a lot and I hope someday, I could be like some of the writers here which post and earn a lot of money monthly (like for atleast $10-$30 monthly).
Life has been pretty hard for me since my father’s death last September this year so if this keeps up then this will help me a lot get through my daily life without having to worry where to get my allowance (I cannot work since I’m at school from morning til evening the whole week).
So there! I know my earning is just a silly thing i should be proud of. ” LOL! $0.08?! who gives a damn about it?! ” — hey! i earned this and I feel good about it and I’m proud of it! 
Anybody who would like to share some of their stories/experiences here, please feel free to do so.
P.S.
I hope I do not receive negative comments here. I apologize for the share but I’m just pretty happy about it.

we are the same thinking the topic that what should be the hot content.

@Wodel – Thanks dude!!!
@annapepano – I guess everybody wants to be in the Hot Content List.
and of course, more views means more earnings for us 
It feels alright when people notice your article right?

as long as you\’re not stepping on people, it\’s good. =)

@zed – yeah… you might reach the top higher by stepping on people but you will never remain on top for sure…

It took me awhile to earn $1 – now I can proudly say I’m making well over that in a day. So, keep up the hard work – it’s a cumulative, domino effect – and remember, you will earn residual for life. My best article has earned me over $800’s and counting.
Blessings.
Sincerely,
-Joie Schmidt.

Very encouraging.

@Joie Schmidt – I agree with you. I cannot earn a big amount in a day or two, i just have to wait, work harder to earn more.
It seems you’re a senior writer here in Triond?
I’ve seen your profile and i was like “woah! a 500 article badge.. 500k views”. You’re just simply amazing.
Congratulations Ms. Schmidt.
More Blessings for you. Thank you for the share.

I can imagine the great feeling when we first learn that our articles attracted some audience.
I am pleased to share my story with you.
Keep up the good work. I learned that it takes a lot of quantity with a good ASR to achieve success in online writing.

@Fornis – woah!!! how did you do that!? your articles must be pretty interesting and sensible!
congratulations for that! you must have felt very delighted about it! 
i hope one day that happens to me too 
i still have a long way to go.

@Jonelle Atienza,
I had coined that term (ASR) after studying my own articles and reports of others too. So it had existed even without that term

Congrats on your earnings.

You should be proud of your accomplishment. Writing is a lifestyle for those who truly love writing. You’ve taken the first step on a journey that will last a life time.

@SharifaMcFarlane – Thank you, mate!
@Guy Hogan – I really am so proud of this even though this is nothing compared to everyone else’s earnings. I’ve always wanted to write and yeah, this is my first step.
still have a long way to go. !
