There is so much great content on Triond to read, but what I’ve learned about blogging has been invaluable. Here are five notable writers and their articles that have taken my writing to a whole new level.
I have to say, without a doubt, I love writing with Triond. Having never even known that I could create such a thing as a Blog, I have to say that I owe my success thus far to Triond and it’s awesome community of writers. Here are a few writers who have especially impacted my career, and what I’ve learned so far from their articles relating to freelance writing.

Get a Blog to Promote Your Work
In Anne’s article “10 Reasons Why You Should Have Your Own Blog,” I learned that having a blog is an essential tool for any writer that wants to become a successful freelancer. Not only will it keep you writing, but it makes it easy for your readers to find all of your work no matter where you write. It can also act as a Writer’s resume when you are trying to find that “Big Break”…getting paper published as well as web published.

Use Sub-Headings to Make Your Work More Interesting to Internet Users.
In her article “How to Get Your Articles Read,” Darlene lists six great ways to get people interested in your work. While I love all of her suggestions, I found that using sub-headings in my work to make my points up front actually made my articles more popular. In particular, when I wrote for Helium’s website where other writers rate your work, articles that had sub-headings moved quickly to the premiere positions. When you consider that the average Internet surfer will spend an average of nine seconds browsing through a website, I found this advice to be ingenious and invaluable.

Other Writers Can Be a Valuable Tool in Regards to Your Writing Career.
In IcyCucky’s article “Five Powerful Reasons to Write for Triond,” I learned that Triond does have a really great community of writers, which can be beneficial to any writer. Not only can another writer’s comments guide you to write better each and every time you sit at your computer, but through the My Community tab, it is now easy to communicate with the other writers on the site and really get to know the people you admire so much. Plus, writers can actually help each other market their articles and work their way to writing success. I, personally, have been humbled at how many of my favorite writers are willing to e-mail me and offer advice.

- Stumbleupon is a Great Way to Get Your Articles Viewed by Thousands.
In Jared’s article, “How to Effectively Increase Traffic Through Stumbleupon,” I learned that not only is Stumbleupon easy for submitting your work, but it’s actually fun to use. You simply add their toolbar and you can give a thumbs up to all of your friends work as well as your own. Within hours, you can have hundreds and even thousands of people see your work. In addition, you can get more people to give your articles a thumbs up if you include an interesting title that catches Stumblers’ attention right up front.

Digg Can Be a Great Tool in Making Your Articles a Huge Success.
In Louie’s article “How to Succeed on Digg: A Simple Step by Step Guide,” I learned that Digg is an invaluable tool in promoting articles, and that it is highly addictive. It’s easy to add friends, and you should make comments on the more popular articles to get your name recognized and have other people add you as a friend. Since reading her article, I’ve also learned that you can easily “Share” your articles with as many as 100 people at a time, which many other sites will not allow you to do. (Also see her article about “How to Get More Reads with Stumbleupon.”)
To all of the other writers at Triond, don’t think that I don’t love and reference your articles over and over again. I just found some of these tips to be the most useful when it comes to blogging.

Very nice article, Erica. I really enjoyed it, and sadly still have much to learn about blogging. I need a blogging 101 class, but even more importantly the time to pursue it. lol

I regret not seeing this earlier. I’ve been busy with school lately. Do you have a link to your blog? Send it to me in a message if possible. Good luck, and I’m happy my post has helped.

ME2EVERYONE LAUNCHES NEXT MONTH
http://me2everyone.com/57603
There is still time for all the doubters to do what they will wish they had done, and that is join! It has to be an easy process, just join, look around and if you don’t like what you see quit! You still get to keep your shares in this venture. Nobody will ask your real name. Nobody will hold it against you!
We all have joined something online and we all helped whatever it was to grow and enjoyed our time while we were there in ‘cyber space’.
This time the opportunity is there to become a part of the building process and to earn shares of this company in the process. If there are any late bloomers out there, it won’t be long before this chance disappears.
REMEMBER: ANYTIME YOU OWN STOCK THAT IS ‘FREE’, IT CAN ONLY INCREASE IN VALUE FROM THERE !
Here is the latest release from the company, you get more details once you register and read the latest the UPDATES and NEWS.

DELIVERING THE NEW CUSTOMER CARE PORTAL
This weekend the me2everyone initiative is 11 weeks old and it’s time to begin the transformation into a real social networking business.. As many people know this website has suffered from an explosive growth that met a number of bugs head on creating huge problems for our small customer care team. Rather than crumble, we are increasing funding into the website development by 400% with a plan to deliver a product that you are proud of. Oh yes, me2everyone remains a debt-free company and out of the hands of venture capitalists.
IMPROVING CUSTOMER CARE
We employ a number of customer care people, but the ratio between them and our members is a staggering 1:60,000, which quickly swamps them with problems. From April 2009 something incredible is going to happen here: a complete transformation of me2everyone customer care!
SO WHAT’S NEW?
Every day me2everyone.com/57603 receives 500-600 emails from people interested in a customer care role. From these a new and improved customer care strategy has evolved giving a ratio between customer care managers and members of 1:300. The plan is to give each member a bespoke and dedicated service. You will be able to phone or email your dedicated Customer Care Manager and receive an answer almost instantly!
This new structure also gives Business Members a dedicated service designed to maximise their results from advertising or other business strategies connected to me2everyone. This is going to make retention of business members so much easier and therefore maximise the level of profits to be enjoyed by our shareholders.
FREELANCE?
Yes! When launched in April 2009 this will be an independent business with each component returning up to GBP £4500 income working just 2-3 hours per week. Components can be interlocked to create a business from a few spare hours to a new full-time venture creating up to GBP £81,000 per year. The business licence and support fee is low-cost, but even this can become free under our new Advantage concept.
We will bring you a new pre-registration portal soon for this business giving you a new chance to make 2009 a year to remember.
