How to Increase Your Income on Triond

A guide that points out certain features that a good article has.

Triond is an amazing website where people can submit articles or visual art and get paid. The key is in this guide and should help to increase your amount of income.

Subject

The subject of your article should be either connected to world news or about something extraordinary that happened to you or someone else. It could also be a guide or a short story. What ever it is it must be interesting. It must speak to the person so they will cry in exclamation, “Wow, what a great article!” Or, “Cool, I never knew that!”

Pictures

Pictures are an important aspect to any good article. Catching the readers attention with a good picture, could change a good article into a great article. Irrelevant or uninteresting pictures will just bring your whole article down. Another thing to remember is that most people would rather look at funny pictures, so including at least one of these “funny pictures” is defiantly going to catch the readers' attention.

Tagging

Tagging your article correctly is one of the most important steps to writing a good article. Mess this up and you might as well say goodbye to that great article you wrote. Knowing how to tag your article is also important. Make sure you tag all the topics that are described in your article, just leaving out one tag could be the difference of 10 comments to 100 comments.

Making Friends

Yah. Now comes the fun part. Making friends is not really building a relationship but merely showing people you appreciate their articles and that you would like to share your articles with them. To make a friend just go to any authors that you admire and click add friend. Now every time you submit an article they will get a message about it and vice-versa.

The last point is READ!

Reading can really help you write better articles. Read as much as possible and eventually you may even be reading your own book. What also might help, is if you try reading some books that explain how to write a good book. Some of those tips helped me start writing again.

Hope this guide helps with any future articles.

Helpful tips Michael! A lotta newbies will find this very useful..

On a technical note, try and expand your desc; the desc is what shows up when your article gets listed by a search engine..

So the better is sounds, the more likely you're to get hits!

Great points. I'd also suggest paying a lot of attention to the title of an article. It's what grabs people's attention more than anything else.

Great article, titles and tags are the most important features to promote an article, in my opinion. I've been attracted to certain eye catching articles! And I should add social bookmarking, too. It hasn't work wonders for me, though, but most people have positive comments about Stumble, Digg, Delicious, etc.
