1. You Need Content
This is something the staff of Triond has tries to beat into your head. It doesn't matter what it is just as long as it's not too short; it's probably better if it isn't too long either. One of the best ways to get a large amount of content is to write poetry.
If you know me you know how much I hate writing poetry but I do it. I would rather write short stories and novels but poetry is fast and easy and because I write it I have a lot more content then I did in the first three months.
Warning: These guys are not the best at telling you how much you made on your earnings page so check your content page to find the full amount.
2. Network
The more people you have on your friend's list the better chance you have of making more friends. Fans are great to have because they are people who like your work and read it as soon as it's out. Return the favor, your fan's are on here for the same reasons you are. Pass along their work to your friends and fans and ask them to do the same.
You should also have other sights you can post that you have work on another. Myspace is the best for this because the people on your friends list like you and would be more then willing to check out your work (Facebook's good too but to a lesser extent.)
Warning: Some people are jerks and ignore you but don't hold a grudge. Most of these people won't even read your stuff so don't feel bad if they don't.
3. Be Patient
In the first few months your on Triond don't get discouraged because you haven't gotten paid. As I've said, I've been here four months and I still haven't seen a check but it doesn't matter. Just continue to write and don't worry about much money you make. I know you can make a ton of money through Triond but it takes a long time to build up to that.
I hope that this is helpful to you and wish you the best. Remember we're all in this together. If we help each other we can all make a ton of money sitting on our butts writing.
