The Price of Freedom: Why Triond is Less Earning Than Other Publishing Sites

Triond is not like many other sites. It allows you to publish any somewhat decent written articles and creative pieces.

Articles do not require a minimum amount of words and they do not have to contain factual information. You can post fiction and opinion pieces.

As long as it is not pornographic or a call for violence or intolerance, you can get away with it.

Seldom do you get a returned draft for revise. It does not mean you may have written too many mistakes, but the dictionary might give too many yellow or unrecognized words, which the editorial machine might consider spelling errors, while it might be names or words that are correct, but not in the dictionary.

Now Triond does not invest that much in SEO as sites like Factoidz do. Factoidz does require academic writings, or articles based on facts with informative content. Triond gives writers a lot of tools to promote their work, while other sites are limited in it. But if a writer does not promote him- or herself, no matter how great the content might be, if will barely get any views.

Triond articles seldom show up in big search engines like Google, unless the writer puts them there him- or herself and most articles get looked up in the Triond community itself, or in the search engine of the sub-site you are published on.

Creative writings are not looked up. People read them when they are willing to read poems or short stories, but they do not really look those things up, so this will earn less.

But when you explore the possibilities of online writing, you will find out that Triond might not be the site that gives you most views, if you are able to write a truthful, factional article that contains timeless information that people might look up for years.

On the other hand: Triond might not pay much, but I found an online writing site in my native language, that requires writers to pay before they can write.

What makes you think of that? Of course, you do get competition elements and you can earn your fee back, but still …
