Is Triond really paying?

Philippines
February 14, 2013 8:46am CST
I post my articles and poems in Triond for reasons that I want to get my works edited and checked. The fee or royalty is a welcome bonus though. However, Triond said that those who have reached an earning of $0.50 with paypal as chosen payment scheme has already received it or has already been paid. I already earned 0.55 dollar but when I checked my paypal, I did not received any. And again, my earnings are gone. Does Triond really pay what they promised to pay?

200 articles over a year and so far with triond it has earned me 3 dollars so guess i am not sure what type of articles will be decent earners. It is true that there are regular writers that can earn more than a hundred monthly but they seem to know the formula on what will get high readership which translates into earnings.. if we can The site does have tips on what to write about if we can use that as a rough guide perhaps it may serve us better, but i haven't done so mainly contributing my own stuff so that could be a reason why i am not earning as i would like..

Hello bryanwmc. Maybe if its SEO written it will generate more views. What I do is I promote it to facebook and twitter. Yet still, the earnings were gone. I tried searching over the net about Triond as a legit site. But I also found some articles saying it's not really a legit site. Anyway, I just wanted to have my works published. When Yahoo voice bought the Associated content, I lost my account as well. How I wish I can find some other good writing site instead of staying with Triond.

btw, not all your eggs in one basket, Hubpages is also another site worth checking out coz there may be an audience that can appreciate your writing niche, since there are so many segments of writers there that shares and critique each other's prose, poetry or whatever you write about.there are same writers in the same niche.Then as far as i know there is Xomba , Bukisa plus etc. sites that accept any type of subject as long as it is written in grammatically correct English.

Thanks again for the inputs. I'll check out these sites you've mentioned. I know some people who are successful writing blogs but I also don't know their formula. Good luck to us. Have a great day!

Hello there ! I wrote for Triond almost a year , got page views like 10k , sot so sure of the figure but am so sure i have written almost 500 entries and not to brag i got a number of followers there but discouraging i haven't reached $10 even. They pay so low that is why writers there are doing pilgrimage to the other fence. For for stay there i earned only like $4 . See ? I don't know how they rated our efforts but in fairness to Triond , they really pay and until now my works there stil earns but very little but that is enough .They are too far from Mylot. Not to boast , i am still less than a year oder here and i received already 2 payouts . This site give justice to our effort , time and wisdom. A very lenient site , that is why i am so thankful that i was able to bump this site .

Hello Angelpink. From your response as well as from the response of others, Triond is a legit site. The disadvantage though is the low payout or slow earning. You are right. I have received payouts faster here. I was thinking and hoping that Mylot can also be used not only for discussion but also for posting articles or poetry. Anyway, we can share our efforts here if we really want to have it seen by the public. Thanks.

True It is a very legitimate site just that our works not compensated well . In Mylot we can also write blogs and poetries . There is a section here just that am not so well verse in how to do it and all my time are also being spent here in discussion so i can't submit a write - ups but someday i will if time allows.

I have been paid a lot of times,please to put in your Paypal email address to be paid. Check to make sure that you have enter your email address properly,because they do pay the 10 of each month. And if your email address is correct,then you need to contact them an get information about your payment.

Triond really pays. I have been paid several times by the site. I havent submitted a new article for almost a year but I get surprised every time I receive an email notification from the site telling me that I have reached the minimum payout for a certain month. Though my earnings in Triond is not that much, the money still accumulates in time and rticles I have written 2-3 years ago surprisingly still gets traffic. I guess my advice for you is to focus on articles that you think re appealing to readers. We get a share from the traffic and earnings Triond gets from our articles hosted in their sites, so the best thing to do is to submit quality articles.

Thank you very much Joiemarvic. That's a good assurance to continue writing for Triond. Maybe it would really just take a little time. I do try my best to write quality article. Best regards.

I've never had a problem receiving a payment from Triond before. I think they were late like two times, but they had reasons for why they were late. I'm really not active on there anymore due to how hard it is to earn anything these days. I'm just saving up my few cents each month. Although Triond has turned into a pretty bad site, I can say for sure that I've been paid by them in the past.

I am not a member of that site but I know you have to work hard if you want to earn money, just sometimes for transferring little amount we loose them as there are some fees and tax there for paypal too. maybe becuase of that you did not recieve your money.

That may also be a good reason. However, there should be transaction trails. Anyway, I will observe further. I have posted some new articles and poems. I'll observe its performance. Thanks.

I've been paid about a dollar by triond, and I haven't had any problems receiving payment. Of course, the last time I was paid was about a year ago, so I'm not sure. Have you tried emailing them?

I will not bother doing that anymore because the amount is very insignificant. For me, it's more of a lessons learned. With this experience, then the trust level of their members will lower or maybe lost.

I have heard that the earnings are really slow on the site. I have been paid like once and that was it really. I may go back to the site if I get the chance. Good Luck to you.

Triond does pay, but you have to put your PayPal email in where it has PayPal listed in order to get paid through PayPal.

I did that already. It was indicated on my preferred payment.
