Focus on the Description: Another Way to Make More Money on Triond
It is an easy mistake to make. You are submitting your article to Triond. You have taken care in perfecting your article, but you are in a hurry when submitting your article. As you fill out the submit file information, you key your title and cut and paste the first few lines from your article into the description. Or maybe you do not even take the time to do that. Maybe you just key a one line description. It is nothing catchy, just something descriptive.
I just took a look at how my articles did last month here on Triond. I found an interesting trend. Those with catchier more interesting descriptions got more hits. I am taking the following pledge in order to help increase my article hits.
The Pledge
- I will write more interesting descriptions
- I will strive for two sentences in each description this month
- I will NOTjust cut and paste the first few lines of my article into the description box
- I will NOT spell words in my description incorrectly
- My description will not just be a clinical description. It will at least attempt to interest readers.
- I will make sure the description does fit my article. There is nothing worse than reading a description and then finding that the article does not support it.
- I will NOT short change my article by not putting enough thought and care into the description
Examples of Bad Descriptions
Here are a few examples of what not to do when writing a description.
“Westarn adventure in the sumer”
“A day from my vacation.”
“This article describes how to plant a tree”
Examples of Better Descriptions
“Do you yearn for adventure in the Wild West? It can be found at Montana's Cripple Creek Dude Ranch.”
“Tandem hang gliding could be for you. Here is how this seventy year old strapped on, jumped, and survived hang gliding at Grandfather Mountain.”
This is a really simple way to make more money on Triond. It takes time and effort to produce an article. Your title and description are the two things that readers see before choosing to enter your article. The title should succinctly let your reader know what the article is about. Your creativity can be unleashed on the description. How about joining me this month in trying to improve our descriptions? Let's all take advantage of Triond's generously sized description area. It's a great way to promote our articles and pull in readers.
