The sure fire way to succeed in Triond.
I must admit, the first time I joined, Triond, I was after the monetary aspect of it. That didn’t help me much because I just sat there and waited for hits to come in. It wasn’t until recently that I was woken up from my money-driven life. I was talking to one of my friends on Triond, Nobert (his profile here) and he said that he has just a little bit below 500 hundred articles. I always see my news feed with his newly published articles.
I was curious to find out how much he was making every month. He said, an amount that I could not believe. I’m not mentioning it for privacy purposes that Nobert might want to keep. But let’s put it this way, it was A LOT more than I ever made, or even expected.
I asked for some tips from him, and guess what I got? “Hardwork.” This really does go a long way. Take him for example, writing articles every couple days, he’s making quite a decent amount of money considering he writes for the enjoyment and not the monetary factor.
Another reason why I was woken from this slumber was through this article. Might I quote, “It seems to happen to us all here… we get so caught up in the monetary aspect of this that we forget what originally brought us to Triond- the dream of being a ‘writer’. Of seeing our name on the cover of an actual book.”
This is literally what is happening to me. I have a friend who is a much better writer than I am, but she does not seek the monetary aspects in writing, yet she writes of what she feels like. Through these two reasons, I will thrive to be more dedicated into writing.
Triond community, I’m hoping to get a lot more followers once I make this pact come true!
Cheers!

I am glad that you are giving Triond a second try. While we all want to make money…I love Triond because it really is helping me become a better writer.

Hi Keirt-With this article I might start writing my own piece to be a part of Triond writer wannabees. I might start writing very soon. Thank you for inspiring me and the others.

Thanks for this inspiring article! Maybe 500 is a little too far a goal for me right now… I just reached a milestone of 5 articles (hehe). Hope to write more during my holidays

I also fall the same expectations at the start… BUt later on I’ve realized that there is something more important than the monetary income… I enjoy what I do. I enjoy reading other Triondites’ blogs and I enjoy expressing some thoughts in my head.. write on…!
