The internet contains many millions of web pages and each of these pages requires interesting and informative content. Although much of this content is written by the website owners, there are many sites that seek contributions from freelance writers, and are willing to pay for them.
One such site is Triond. The articles submitted to Triond, once reviewed by the editing team, are published on a group of partner websites including Bookstove, Picable, Purpleslinky, Quazen, Scienceray, Socyberty, Trifter, Webupon and Writinghood. Having this range of sites available means that articles on similar subjects can be published together. For example, you will find science articles at Scienceray and travel articles at Trifter.
Triond accepts articles on a wide variety of subjects including health, cars, pets, history, society, books, science, computers and many others. If you can think of a subject to write about it will find a home somewhere in their network. Triond also publishes creative writing, so poetry, short stories and chapters from novels are all welcomed. Pictures, audio and video also have their own sites. All submissions must be in the English language and must not have been published before.
Revenue is generated from advertisements displayed alongside the articles. This revenue is shared between the writer and Triond with each receiving half. Once you have published five articles you will have the opportunity of integrating your Triond account with Google Adsense. Earnings are paid monthly as long as you have earned more than $50 if paid by cheque or $0.50 if paid via Paypal. If you don’t reach these thresholds then your earnings roll over to the following month.
If being paid for your writing appeals to you and you would like to join Triond, please follow my referral link and sign up. I will be paid a referral fee by Triond but this does not affect your earnings. If you would rather not use the referral link you can join through the Triond homepage.
I have published on Triond since May 2007 and make a fairly good monthly income, but it is incredibly hard work. Marketing your work is essential if you hope to earn any more than pennies, so it isn’t for those who are out to make a quick buck!
