Has anybody signed up for triond and made a lot of money from it yet?

I am not sure you can make 'lots of money' from it. As you know you share your earnings 50/50 with them. Their payout is 50 cents. It depends on how much revenue your entry/entries attracts and as I said before you then share that 50/50 with them. Making money online is not easy as you know. Good luck.

Ok I joined Triond about a year ago I have submitted in total 45 articles and poems and 40 pictures all together. I have had over 1330 people read my articles and or poems and look at my pictures and I have made a whopping $1.92 total, LOL LOL LOL!
Grant you I have not submitted anything since March 22, 2009 because I just find it discouraging all that work for so little money!

I signed up about a year ago, and I've made a bit of money. Granted, I haven't made a lot, but I've earned some money. My earnings could be worse than they are. I'm not really complaining of the earnings that I've made with Triond. I actually enjoy the website. I find that it's a good way to read about different kinds of things and write about them.

Triond is a good way to earn passive income. If you are not earning that much now, you might earn a high amount 2 to 3 years from now. As you now, your article may earn in various ways and that includes the website's traffic itself. In the future, if more people will know about Triond, then more people will visit the site; thus, there is a high possibility that more people will read your articles. So, the take away is, write write write.
