Triond is a pay-per-click content site. This means that once you publish a piece of writing, every time someone reads your article or story, you make a little money. The Triond webpage states that they share 50% of ad revenue generated, but only show earning statistics for page views. Triond is a great place to start out if you want to test the waters in the “writing for the internet” pool. Triond has also recently added a new feature which integrated an authors Google Adsense account. This is huge news for anyone with an Adsense account. Triond still has all the same ads it use to but when an other integrates their adsense account they can then use a new tool to place Google ads into the body of their articles. When these ads are clicked the author will receive %50 of the ad revenue alongside the money they typically per page view. At first I thought this would make the pages with both Triond’s ads and the google ads look rather spammy, but it turned out to not look bad at all. Best of all this the increase in revenue for me has been pretty extreme. This is one new feature on Triond that I give two big thumbs up.
Submitting to Triond
Although Triond accepts all kinds of content, I will be focusing on the written word in this article, as it is the content most often offered up to Triond. Triond is perfect for the aspiring internet writer. It won’t make you rich, but it will help teach you the ropes. Despite the fact that you won’t make much money with Triond, there are other reasons to focus some of your effort here. Triond has one of the most user friendly uploading interfaces out there. If you’ve never written for an online content site before, this is great. The Triond view counter and statistics page is just awesome. I have yet to find a rival interface.

I have written 5 articles on triond 6 months ago, and have not made $5 on the combined articles. I am switching to bukisa, brighthub, eHow and Xomba.
Hi Gary,
I understand your situation, I think many writers who only write for Triond are in the same boat. It takes a lot of self advertising to make a profit only writing for Triond. It hardly seems worth all the effort.
At this point I have 13 articles on Triond and I’ve made a whopping $1.66. Trust me I’m not running to the bank but at the same Triond does not demand exclusive rights. I repost these same article on Bukisa, Red Gage, Xomba and somtimes Hub Pages. These sites also don’t require any exclusivity.
It hasn’t seemed to hurt my earnings as each site claims will happen if you repost on articles on multiple site. The only require is from Triond, you have to post on Triond first. Once my article has been approved on Triond I move on to the rest.
I hope this helps! BTW great article about Firefox Add-ons Bukisa, I rated it 5 out of 5.
……repost these same article on Bukisa, Red Gage, Xomba and somtimes Hub Pages. These sites also don’t require any exclusivity.
Brighthub does not require exclusivity? Are you sure?
They only accept original articles and are protected by Copyscape.
Hi Kumara,
Bright Hub does require exclusivity. When I publish something with Bright Hub I don’t repost it anywhere.
I only repost to Bukisa, Red Gage, Xomba and Hub Pages. Before reposting on any site I read over their terms to ensure I am not breaking any rules.
i have over 50 articles making about $4 a month, all im trying for is memberships so im great!
Hi Bob, 50 articles is awesome! That is quite an accomplishment. What are you trying to get memberships for?
