Triond (and its affiliated sites) paid once and very little according to the worth of the articles posted. It is not recommended.
I had originally received a check in the mail but then that was the first and the last and it was a pittance compared to the worth of the writing. Further complaints about not being paid when I was supposed to, went unanswered. Luckily I kept paper copies of at least some of these articles that prove I have written on sociology, health-related, and other topics. I can see that other authors who wrote in 2008 are also not to be found so I wonder who has the privilege of not being excluded. For future reference, if one does not see a physical address associated with the writing site or a contact email address I would not solicit it for writing!.
This website is a scam! I have several complaints about this website. First off, the 'pay' that is given to writers is essentially bogus. To avoid being prosecuted as a scam, they will pay writers a penny or so for an article! I do not consider this 'pay' so much as using a legal loophole. The articles which got paid the penny were things I wrote which got as much as 1100 views! Also, one of their affiliate sites is loaded with 'advertisements' for identity theft scams. Tech support scams pop up all over their one affiliate site. These pop ups attempt to direct people to the notorious support.me scam. Triond makes lots of money because they take people's articles, which they get from people for essentially free and then sell them at a profit to questionable website owners. Stay away from this SCAM!
I had written for them for a number of years and when I had gone back to see if my work was still up only to find out the site had shut down and now it's some webpage for GoDaddy.com. I was so angry because that was a lot of work that I had put into building my writing portfolio. Now it's hard to build yourself back after losing years of work due to a sham site like this failing to notify writers so they could retrieve their work before the site had shut down permanently.
Triond.com is totally fake website, when we submit any article in website and Triond publish it in low quality website. And there are no access work when you want delete or edit article.
I have been writing for Triond for over 2 years now and have very little to complain about in terms of it's legitimacy. They pay you on the tenth of every month via either paypal, western union or by check. If you are being paid by paypal, minimum payout is $0.50. I have personally earned over $1000 on there so far.
Triond is basically a writing website or a content farm as some describe it, however although there is a lot of rubbish published on Triond, there is also a lot to learn from the site. If you are only just starting out writing online, Triond is a great platform to learn from.
This is a base where you can earn a lot of marketing and promotional techniques and earn along the way too. As well as earning from the site itself, you also have the opportunity to integrate adsense, which you can earn even more money.
In general, the community at Triond is good and most people will help you get started, however the forum is unmoderated, and we like it like that, so don't be surprised if there are days when trolling and spamming seems to dominate the forum.
In general, if you want to earn a little bit of money, this is a good, legitimate site to use.
I wrote over 500 articles on Triond and never saw a paycheck in my mailbox. Glad to see they were shut down!
Anyone looking to make online money through blogging may look towards Triond for such an opportunity. Triond has an easy to use writing platform with a simple uncomplicated editor that comes with an auto-save function. Every time you write it is automatically saved so your work complete or incomplete and yet to be published is never lost.
Triond allows for a social enviroment where you can connect with other members and add them as friends or keep them as fans. It also has an explore option where users can click the explore button and find out trending topics. It allows for twitter integration, facebook connect and the possibility to earn from google adsense. These are many more are what Triond offers.
If your writing skills are such that you need a platform like Triond to write on, then you have the advantage of enjoying a platform where once you submit your posts they are circulated around the many websites that are connected to Triond. Just select the category your post will come under and your post will be delivered to the corresponding website.
Earning on triond means earning from the amount of clicks that your post gets and from google adsense earnings, Triond in this respect may not be a favorite spot for blogging as they pay $0.01/1000 clicks but this may vary from one topic to another.
For every post you publish you can easily see the statistics on the publish page and on that same page you also are able to use the share function to share your post on social media. You can also use the relocate function to move your post from one category to another category.
Having used this platform for sometime now, my impression of the site is that if you are going to earn from it, it may take some time to earn decent money unless you have a good traffic source that can get you enough traffic well into the 100,000 or more clicks for every post you submit.
If this will scare most of you away from the site and make you look for other similar sites to write on, then the one advantage I see is that through the publish page you can see the total views for each blog post and the earnings they generate. With this statistics you can see the topics that are getting the most traffic and the ones that have fewer traffic and thereby have a good idea of which topics to focus on.
This might help your blogging career since you now know where best to concentrate your writing efforts and get the most rewards. Even if this reward on Triond might not be so generous, you may find it elsewhere all with the help of the Triond platform.
We're an online publishing service and writing community. Happy Publishing!
