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 start your online writing career

No matter what you write, you can find a place for it online. Depending on what you want to do with your writing, there a few different ways to start your career. For instance, someone looking for advanced critique should go to a site like Deviant Art, while someone looking to make money should choose Bukisa, Helium or Triond.

Now, when you say that you want to write online, you need to be specific. What do you want to write? Freelancing? Creative writing? Here are a few sites that should help you out

Creative Writing – Deviant Art, Helium (will accept them), Storymash, Wattpad

Freelancing – Helium (marketplace), WritersWeekly, Freelancewriting.com

Articles – Triond, Bukisa, Redgage

Now, many of these sites will also pay you some of the ad revenue that is generated, or for the article itself. Either way, those sites will allow you to get started writing online.

A few tips to get you started

• Make sure that you state something new in every sentence
• Quality over quantity
• Make friends so people can see your work
• Promote, promote, promote
• Aim for 800 words minimum if you’re selling your work
• Write what you know

Using more than one site is a good way to get recognized more, though keep in mind that some sites require that your writing is exclusive. The best of luck, and keep trying even if you fail. All writers get rejected in the beginning. The successful ones keep submitting.

The Best Social Bookmarking Sites and How to Get Them to Work for You

In order to become successful in the world of online publishing, you must be able to promote your content.

You can do this in many ways, but the most common and best way to do it is through social bookmarking sites.

A social bookmarking site is where members submit links to content that they like, or find interesting. Other people view this content, and if they like it will “digg” it or “stumble” it. The more of these likes your content gets, the more people will see it as it’s ranking goes up.

Now, the best sites to use for promotion are stumbleupon, digg, and reddit, as they have the largest user bases. That said, you can’t submit all your links and expect thousands of views to suddenly pour in. Instead, the process of promoting your content is a constant one. In order to maximize your views, you have to be a constant member in the forums, comment on other people’s links, and add friends. Also, it would be a good idea to use two or more sites, so that you have more than one stream of traffic.

Now, you might be tempted to submit every piece of content you’ve ever written right away. I would advise against this, and instead suggest to submit your best content first in order to establish a reader base first. After you have a few friends and subscribers, then begin to submit your other work as well. If you do this, you’ll allow people to still see everything, but your best work first.

With a little luck and some hard work, you’ll begin to see traffic being generated from these sites in no time.

How to Write Online and Make Money Successfully

A lot of people write online, and many get paid for it. However, in order to be successful in writing online, you need to know the ins and outs.

First off, when I say writing online, I mean writing as in an article, a factual piece. While you can get paid for your creative writing online, it is very hard to find someone who will pay you a good sum for it, as most websites won’t pay you all that much for it. This may be discouraging to some of the budding creative writers out there, but with some hard work, you can definitely get paid. In order to be successful online, basically at least 90% of everything you write should be about something real. Think reporter more than author.Secondly, make sure that you write about something that applies to a vast amount of people. An article on personal health and weight loss would get more views than a write up of your local school. Unless your school has something that makes it unique, like raising a million dollars for charity or a shooting. Remember to write about something that you feel comfortable writing, something you can relate to or know about.

Thirdly, watch the news and current events going on in the world. While generally news articles don’t do that well when posted on a site that has other content as well, but if you post it fast enough, you are sure to at least earn a few dollars off of it.

Lastly, post your content to different sites. I personally use Triond, Redgage and Bukisa, with links leading to my content from Digg and Stumbleupon, as well as my blog. Set up a network of promoting tools and publishing sites so you can earn as much as possible, and maybe even send emails to your friends to tell them about your content.

How to Drive Traffic to Your Blog Through Entrecard

Blogs survive off of readers, and bloggers earn when readers visit their blog. So how do you get these readers? Well, many blogs get tons of them off of traffic sites like Entrecard. Entrecard is a free to join site that allows members to trade visits. Basically, you submit your blog, and visit other people’s blogs, and drop your “card” in a widget. You gain a credit for every card you drop, and one for every card that gets dropped on your blog. These credits can be spent on buying ads on other blogs, purchasing things at their marketplace or exchanging them for real money. You can also earn credits if people buy ads on your blog, or by putting a listing up on the marketplace. Some good listings are comments, diggs or other likes on social bookmarking sites, or an entire blog. The more cards you drop, and the more ads you buy, the more people visit your site, which translates to more earnings for you off of ads. Eventually, as your blog becomes more popular in terms of visitors, it will become more popular on search engines, and you’ll begin to get traffic from other sources as well. If you keep using Entrecard, your blog will become naturally popular if it has quality on it, and you can expect to become a successful blogger. You can add more than one blog on to your account on Entrecard, and have traffic driven to all of them. Why not check it out today, and start getting free, quality viewers?

Get Paid Online Through Surveys

You can get paid for taking surveys online. Most sites will pay you from a dollar to ten for every survey you complete, and will pay you once you earn a certain amount of money. You can get paid through check or Pay-pal, and can stand to earn a lot of money off of these sites. Personally, I used opinion outpost for a while a couple of years ago, and while I only earned around $300 in a year, I didn’t work nearly as hard on that site as I did on my own blog, or my Triond articles. The site is legitimate, and will pay you. Unfortunately, I never took a picture of my check to offer as proof, but it is a real site. They offer the results of the surveys you take to large companies and earn money for themselves that way. The more surveys you take the more you cane earn, and the surveys themselves take around 5 to 15 minutes.

Make Money Off of Your Blog Through Ppc Advertising

Looking for a way to monetize your blog? Look no further. PPC advertising is the mainstream way to make money off of your blog, and is very easy and profitable. They work by simple copying and pasting a snippet of coding into your blog, and the java ads will show up to everyone who loads your site. You get paid (on average) half of the money that is generated from valid clicks on these ads. As a general rule of thumb, about ten percent of all your visitors will click your ads. Some advertisers pay the impression (CPT-Cost Per Thousand) instead. This is where you get payments based on every thousand people view the ads instead of how many people click them. Both ways have their own pros and cons, and you should decide which one is best for you. I would recommend either Google Adsense, Yahoo Publisher, Adbrite and Bidvertiser. Remember to use a mix of programs to maximize earnings, and good luck!
