This compares Triond and Shareapic.
Triond
and Shareapic are two websites which pay their users for photo uploading. Triond also pays them for the articles which they have written. In this article, I compare these two websites for only photo uploading. I am going to point out the advantages and disadvantages of Triond and Shareapic.
Triond publishes the photos in a website called Picable. In Picable, all photos are grouped in various categories such as nature photos, automobile photos or animations. Unlike Triond, Shareapic has no specific category to upload photos. When you sign up Shareapic, the first thing you need to do is to create your photo galleries. You need to group all your photos in order. If you want, you can create subcategories. Since Shareapic pays for only photo uploading, it is more popular than Picable. When you write “pay per photo uploading” onto your favourite search engine, you are definitely going to take the results of Shareapic not Triond. This is one of the drawbacks of Triond. But, of course, there are several advantages of Triond.
The major advantage of Triond is that they pay the users more than Shareapic. Shareapic pays the users 22 cents for each 1000 visits. However, the rate of Triond varies between 45 cents and 55 cents. As average, it is 50 cents. That is, Triond pays twice as much as Shareapic.
Shareapic
only uses PayPal as a payment processor. Unlike Shareapic, Triond pays not only by Paypal but also Check and Western Union. If you live in a country where Paypal doesn’t make payments, then it is nothing to make money by Shareapic since you never take those banknotes in your hands. This is one of my reasons which I prefer using Triond to Shareapic.
Promoting photos in Triond is easier than the photos in Shareapic. I’ve taken better stats for Triond up to now. I’ve added the same photo to both Triond and Shareapic. After being published, I promoted the same photo in Stumbleupon. The results were utterly different. In 3 days, my photo in Shareapic was shown only 270 times but the same photo in Triond was shown more than 1200 times. When I took the results in payment base, the results were completely diverging. I earned only 6 cents by Shareapic, but I made 60 cents by Triond.
The main advantage of Shareapic is that you should place your own Bidvertiser and Google Adsense codes under your photos. This means extra money for your pocket since Bidvertiser and Google Adsense advertise their links in your page.
In a nutshell, I side with Triond because I make more money with them.

That is a profitable observation! Thanks for sharing.

Interesting experiment.

I uploaded 250 photos through Shareapic and used them for the past 8 months and this resulted in a whopping 98 cents total in 10 months. I would not recommend shareapic to anyone who wants to earn good money from their work.
Of course, I am not a photographer and I usually just stick with writing articles. I have many, many friends who I have interviewed to locate the best photography programs on the Internet. I have seen their earnings and I must admit, its time to purchase a better camera, because it is truly amazing what some photographers are able to make in a single day. Much more than I earn in an entire month writing articles.
Nice review, lonely.
God Bless,

Payment rates of Shareapic is really low.They are also paying very late and always some problems and difficulties in payments.
Triond always pays in time.

I noticed on triond it asks if I was the original creator of the content when I went upload an image (for example, a building, a car, a person, etc) does that mean I have to have the copyright to the image and I can’t use images of buildings, cars, celebrities, people I don’t know and so on? anyone know?
