Triond Referral Program

Triond, after a long history of publishing user’s articles online and sharing revenue, has decided to go competitive. How so? Well, ever since Triond was first launched, other online publishing sites have come into being, and have tried to make themselves more attractive to users. One of those features, recently announced to be coming to Triond last month, was the integration of Google’s ad network, Adsense. Another new feature that has a lot more people interested is the beta launch of it’s very own referral program.

How does this benefit you, the user, and Triond, the company? Well, when you refer a user, you generate 10% of everything they publish. Forever. So if you refer ten people, and the all make a hundred bucks in three months, you’ve made 100 dollars to, in the same amount of time, for only spreading your link around the internet. Now, Triond can afford to pay you this because they’re still getting half of what you make and half of what the referrals make, and the referrals don’t lose any money.

So, how do you sign up for this program? You have to email referrals@triond,com (replace the comma with a dot) and ask for a position in the beta testing. If you’re approved, they’ll send you the link and you can begin promoting it in hopes of making a few extra dollars. However, there won’t be a whole lot of spots available, so if you don’t get accepted you should wait until it becomes public.

If it becomes public. Triond stated that they were releasing the program as a test to see how it actually worked in reality. If it doesn’t turn out to do as well as they had hoped, you probably won’t see the start of the program. However, the community at Triond is fairly well rounded, and should be able to generate enough new users and revenue from this program to make it well worth Triond’s time. Until then, however, we’ll just have to wait and see.

Here is my own referral link. I don't wish to spam it, so please sign up using this legal, none abusive way of promoting my link; http://www.triond.com/rw/250607

How to Successfully Publish Your Content Online and Get Paid Through Triond

Triond, the online publishing network that pays you for media and content, is a lot more complicated than it first looks. True, the basics are easy to figure out. A well written article, on a popular subject that is heavily promoted will generate a good sum of money. However, there are a few things that you can do to generate more money and get more coverage for your articles and media.

Generally speaking, the articles that make the most money are the pieces on health or computers and internet subjects. This is only a general rule of thumb, however, and articles about other subjects can also make a lot of money. Creative writing and news are subjects that generally don’t bring in a lot of money. If you create a lot of content in these subjects, by all means publish it, but don’t expect to make a lot of money off of them. Articles that are shorter than 300 words generally don’t do as well as articles that are between 500 and 800 words. The longer the article, and the higher the quality of writing, the better. Some good advice is to always write articles in a rough draft first, and edit them before editing. Also, remember to tag as many relevant subjects in your article as possible, as this will allow more people to find your article.

The best type of content, the type that will get you the most money on Triond, is written articles. Photos, videos and audio do not perform nearly as well as a well written article. Also, the only content that can get on to the hot content list are articles. Photos earn roughly a cent per 25 views, while articles get around a cent for 8 views. Videos and audio pay even less, so don’t expect to earn a whole lot off of them unless they are extremely popular.

My last piece of advice is to always, always use pictures. Articles with pictures pay more than articles without, for some reason. Try to include them in between paragraphs, as they offer a break for reader and allow you to illustrate your points.
