Quite a while ago I decided to try to publish some articles on the internet for money. There are many places to do this, and they operate in few different ways. The one I chose is a site called Triond. I write an article on any topic I want, put it into their editor where I have the option of adding pictures and video, then submit. They in turn publish the article on one of many websites they have. These websites are generally set up for different topics, travel, computers, music, and so on. They naturally have the websites filled with ads, and I get a cut of the ad revenue that my content generates for them. Another way they pay is through referrals. Basically, if someone else signs up to Triond through my link, I get a small cut of what they make. Besides articles, Triond also lets you post photos and videos.
I got into Triond as an outlet for writing mainly. A lot of these would have made great blog posts for this blog or Olaf Jansen, but others are best placed on the kind of websites Triond runs. I've written about music (of course) but also current events, video games, veganism, as well as articles about my other websites. Those articles double as free advertising.
I've made very little on Triond so far, but the money is secondary. I enjoy writing, I enjoy getting published outside of the blog world, and I enjoy writing articles on topics I normally wouldn't write about.
Some of my assorted Triond articles:
The Expanding Range of Music Formats: Why People are Paying More for Less
This was my first article. I wrote it about the different formats music is available on, leading up to my thoughts on what people miss out on in a digital only world.
Understanding The Pre-Damaged Output of Black Flag
Damaged was Black Flag's first proper full length release, although they had been around four years, had three singers, toured a lot and put out quite a bit of material. This article sets out to explain their pre-Damaged discography.
Mano Negra Puta's Fever
This is a review of the album Puta's Fever by Mano Negra. One of my all time favorite albums. This is currently my most viewed article.
Rasta Themed Cell Phone Cases and Covers
This one is basically an ad for a Zazzle store of mine.
Lesser Know Animal Ingredients
A short article on animal ingredients. Vegan's learn fast that a lot of things are not vegan even though they appear to be. This can be enlightening for non-vegans, too.
Nintendo's Home Consoles
A history of Nintendo's consoles. This was fun to write.
