Many freelance writers prefer writing on sites such as Triond as they have a very low payout of only 50 cents. However why stick with 50 cents and why not aim for $1 a day.  At triond you can submit articles on a wide range of topics from cars, to beauty creams, the latest movie, your favourite sports team or your dream holiday. There is no end to the things you can write about, the key is to write on something popular, promote it and watch the pennies rolling in.

1) Stay positive and motivated

At first after a few articles you will be disappointed to see cents in your balance. This is only to be expected, not many people get rich overnight. Remember you are earning this money for free by doing something you enjoy, writing. Not many people get paid for their hobbies.

2) Aim to write at least one article a day.

One article per day gives you 365 articles a year. Technically this should earn you a dollar a day. If each article earns one cent daily this amounts to $3.65 per day. Of course it does not always work like this, and there is a chance some of your articles will only earn a few cents a month. Even so if 30% of your articles get one cent daily you will be well on your way to over a dollar a day.

If you keep writing one article a day after three years you will have 1000 articles. Being a productive writer is easier than you think. Each of these articles earning one cent a day gives you $10 a day. Some articles may earn more, some less. Different articles pay a different amount per 10 page views. Therefore some articles could earn you much more than 1 cent daily. Generally finance and health articles will gain you more pennies than jokes or fiction, so mix and match your articles.  

3) Write on current trends

At the minute Halloween is almost upon us.  I would encourage people to write on Halloween inspired topics. These will give you a peak of earnings for a few days. Do not be disheartened when these earnings drop after Halloween, and remember that Halloween comes every year.  As soon as one trend passes you should be already onto the next. Christmas is not that far away, so now would be a good time to write some articles on Christmas. Other current trends to look at are the news, daily sports events and new gadgets.

4) Use keywords

By keywords I mean words that people would type into a google search bar to find your articles. If you use popular keywords and your article is on the first page of google for these keywords you can expect a huge surge in earnings.

5) Promote

The more articles you write the more chances people have of landing on one of your articles. If they read one of your articles and like it, they may go on to read more. In order to increase the chances of people finding your articles, you should promote your articles as much as possible.  You can link to your articles from a variety of other sites such as twitter, xomba, stumbleupon, digg, reddit and so forth. Additionally you can link to other related articles within your triond article.

There is no reason why you cannot make payout during your first month with Triond, I am pretty sure I did.  They key is to keep writing and stay positive. All your paypal earnings will add up. I am planning on saving my paypal earnings to march just to see how much I accumulate and how it is worthwhile to write to sites like Triond. A dollar a day will likely not come during your first months with triond, but with continued writing it will. A dollar a day for a year will get you $365 and should be achievable after a few months writing for triond.
