Triond: A Place to Write... and Improve

This article explains why Triond is so good for both getting your ideas out for everyone to see, but it also shows why writing for Triond could help your writing skills as well...

Many people write on Triond today, about games, movies, life: just about everything that you can think about in your mind. They all share one thing in common: we write for fun, for money, or for fame.

Many sites that you write for are scammers who want to make money for advertising. Triond is an honest site that, who stills profits, pays us for our hard work, actually puts our names on what we write, and gives us a chance of having whatever we published being seen by many different kinds of people.

Writing is hard, especially if you're trying to make money from all of this. It is hard for me too, as my monthly payments are usually only about a dollar, and a little more if I'm lucky. But that is usually not the point in why we are doing all this, since many people may like our articles or just want to change it a little for more improvement, and that is where the thing that impresses me most of all about Triond comes into play: THE COMMENTS.

When writing comments, people can criticize a writer's article/video/picture, so that they can have a say into what should be changed about the article to make it better and attract more views. Many other writing sites don't pay you for your trouble, and you will not get many comments because you have to join them to put a comment at the bottom, being forced to make an account for them to make more money. Triond does not do this; it let's commenters freely write comments while the writers can read them from their "Dashboard" and delete any that seem unworthy of being posted.

As you can see, this website makes me have to make an account just to put a comment:

As you can see, if you try to type in a comment from rsboards.com, you will come up with a page asking you to join their forums... TWICE! (one at the top blue, one in that green box that you can't miss)

Triond, however, let's everyone comment, whether they're a part of it or not. As an example, you can see the bottom of this article and find that you can write a comment without having to sign up or anything...

Second: Not every site that publishes people's work has a "I Like It" button. Many people could benefit greatly from seeing how many people pressed it as opposed to how many people have seen it, and they could get a ratio of how many people liked it or not.

The "I Like It" button can be used in many ways. It could indicate that people like your style of writing, but it could also indicate that the people viewing it like the topic that you're writing about. There are many different ways you can use the "I Like It" button; I just named two.

Finally, as always, you have to cooperate with writers, community, and commenters to achieve your goals. You should take everyone's comments seriously, look at each other's articles and tell them what they could improve and what was good about it, and in conclusion, be creative!

"Community brings success."
