Writing for Triond.com

Online writing and blogging sure has caught on, but why not make some spare change doing it. I wrote this ( and a few more) for a site called triond.com. I write under the pen name "keyboardologist." You can submit pretty much any text, audio, video, and photos as long as they are yours. We all have an inner voice that wants to be heard, and that of course, is one thing that separates us (most people) from animals. The desire to achieve. To accomplish something.
While you probably won’t make a living writing for Triond, unless of course you either write 10 good articles a day, or at least one hot article on something like “how you cured cancer,” Triond is by far the easiest place to publish your content with the least amount of hassle.
I have checked out helium.com (they advertise on Triond), and associatedcontent.com, and Triond seems to be the best in my opinion.
Helium takes forever, while associated content has a bunch of rules on how you space things, using all caps, spelling, etc.
Also, Triond lets you see how many views you have, they publish quickly, and the only time they decline your content is if you have published your stuff somewhere else. So in the advice of Melanie Schwear (a writer for Triond) put your stuff on Triond first, then place it other places.
Another nice thing about Triond is that they don’t monkey with your title, while helium will change your title if they feel like it. You also have no idea how many views you have, and they seem to pay less than Triond.
In a nutshell, if you want to publish your stuff for enjoyment and not the money, Triond seems to have the “competition” beat. AND you get some sort of feedback.
I’m off of my soapbox now.
