That being said, let me begin.

Since I was a kid, I often sized up and "judged" certain industries and fields of interest by the nature of its key figure and dominant personality. Let me explain. When I began to appreciate the game of basketball way back in the 90's, I often looked at the game's key personality figure - Michael Jordan. On the basis of how Jordan performs and leads his team, I came to understand just what basketball is like and what an ideal basketball player should be. The same with golf, everything seems to rotate on a single iron rod - and that is Tiger Woods. The same with billiards - Efren Reyes (who happened to come from the same country I came from) became the object of my admiration for the game of billiards. Everything that the dominant key person says or does immediately becomes of utmost importance because, to the likeminded people around him (or her), he is an inspiration, a piece of the rock, an epitome, a representative for the whole.

Then during the first quarter of the year 2008, I came across the Triond website and became excited with the possibility of sharing content and earning from it at the same time. I realized that, just like other careers and sciences, content publishing demands hard work, discipline and perseverance. Just as I have usually done, I looked for several key personality figures in Triond that might be a source of inspiration to me. There are so many talented writers and content producers, and Nelson Doyle is definitely one of them. So I read his articles, see what I could learn...and seeing of how succesful he is at content publishing, my faith and my belief in what I'm doing increased. The thought of seeing people out there who have already "been there, done that" is enough inspiration to us that Triond is a viable income source and it can be done!

So what does this tell us? Well, here's what I'm telling you in a nutshell: "It's better to shoot for the moon and hit only the top of the Empire State building". The key figure or dominant personality in your chosen field of interest should be an inspiration to you. It is not a bad goal to become like him or her, and even surpass his or her success. You may not reach that goal, but by aiming high, you set higher standards for yourself. In the process of achieving your dreams and looking up to the key personality figure as an insipiration, it is also important for you not to lose your own identity. Don't just imitate others, but instead become YOU. I am not Nelson Doyle and the other top Triond writers, but I can be Verniel Cutar. I can be me. I can reach my Triond goals. Other people are already experiencing great results and are making history in the industry of content publishing. I wanna become one of them and to surpass them if possible. I wanna be the best that I could be....That should be every Triond writer's attitude! Tell yourself that you can reach your goals. You can make it big. Keep on writing articles. Keep on sharing useful content. Keep on entertaining people and giving them what they want...and be the best Triond writer you can possibly become.

And to all the top Triond writers, thanks for being an inspiration to us all. Keep on doing what you do, and may you have more success in content publishing.

So I turned to the internet to see if there were any markets in cyberspace that I could submit to, and earn some cash along the way.

It was an eye opening journey. I'd never heard of blogging before (yes, I'm a novice really, did you guess?), but I've found two sites that look promising. blogcharm.com looks to be in its early stages, but the site is easy to navigate and hopefully will develop as it settles down. The other good looking site is writersup.com , which is a little more established, and I've heard good things about it. Both pay you a percentage of advertising revenue generated when people read your blog and click on the ads nearby.

I've also dipped a toe into constant-content.com , which is free to post articles on, and you set your prices for people to buy them from you to post on their own websites. My toe is now well into this particular pond, as I've sold over ninety articles to date.

It's true to say there are a lot of scams on the net, but don't tar everyone with the same brush. There are a lot of good guys out there as well. It's well worth searching for a few hours to find the pearls. Try helium.com - the most popular questions asked on that site involve working from home, and how to earn money working on your computer, or over the net. And join Helium as a member to earn some cash every single time someone reads one of your articles.

If you want to earn money online by using your writing skills, the information is out there - you just need to persevere in finding it. Try out the sites mentioned above - you could be earning sooner than you think. Good luck!
