If you write an email or comment begging for views you are spamming. Here are some consequences for those actions and why you should avoid making this mistake.
Triond is an innovative online publisher for professional and novice freelancers alike. Its setup is different than most other online publishers because of the various websites that it owns. Content distributed to these separate websites provides authors the ability to have their work seen on sites that are specially designed for that genre of writing.
This online scheme has attracted and continues to attract new authors daily. New authors get a customized networking page called a profile page. It is there that they can start building a network within the walls of the Triond community and gain friends and followers to assist in succeeding at their online endeavor.
However, new authors often find themselves with few page views for their new content and spend much time searching out other Triond authors in hopes that their page views will rise. What they fail to realize are the several negatives that can come from this effort.
Sending mass emails to existing authors is an example. Contacting authors is one thing but sending out the same message to several, and even hundreds, of content providers at once is a quick way to get blacklisted. A Triond veteran can sense when someone is just trying to spam them and they will remember that for future viewing. The other negative to this is even if a few do look at your article or creative piece it will still not amount to much more than a penny or nickel at best.
If you do happen to drive a small amount of traffic to your page through this technique keep in mind that if your piece is poorly written (and sadly many are) that member will likely refrain from a revisit. Frankly speaking, it is not worth a member’s time to look at and read a piece of garbage.
Another way to spam is to send out an invite to another website. If you are doing this from the bottom of your heart you will not be asking for someone to sign up under your name but be simply offering good advice about another site. Unless you correspond with someone regularly they will not likely take the invitation and will blacklist you from the authors they will view.
Finally, commenting a two word comment on each piece an author does is not a good way to find reciprocation. Discuss something about the article so that the author knows that you actually read it. If you do like the article take the half a second time it takes to click the “I Like It” button. The least you can do is provide constructive feedback about the article that you read. This is generally appreciated by the author and shows other authors that you will actually read something they post. This, in itself, will help gain your work views.
Nonetheless, the amount of traffic you are seeking from Triond will not ever accumulate much money or page views. Seek out other websites and discussion forums. Try different social bookmarking websites and read how-to articles on proper marketing techniques. Write your articles with good punctuation, grammar and spelling. Find blogs that cover the subject(s) that you specialize in and try sending them a link. Learn how to write keywords that will make your content relevant in search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc…
A worthwhile experience at Triond is just around the corner for those willing to have a little patience and put in some work. Expecting big dollars or overnight success is simply unrealistic. Writing for revenue generated sites such as Triond are an investment of one’s time and can take months or even years to see the fruit of one’s labor.

Thats a really great article. It’s so true that many new content producers send out mass notifications, this article will help them to prevent themselves from doing so. Well Written.

We all walk together
To gather common ideas
Of flowers and lovers
Of times gone by
Those who read us
Let them do so
Those who don’t,
Don’t do so
I think it’s their loss
Would you like to now
On my version have a toss
Ur writing is superb
It can none disturb
But be like me
Tell all those across triond
‘’Read, read,
Don’t read,
Don’t read’
We all are of a different breed
On human mind
We all simple feed
I do hope this
Off the cuff poem
Does make eventually
A Lovely’s,
Lovely read

Hi there, I got here from another article on how to make money from triond – of course, it’s a morally ambiguous (read “corrupt”) plan to make money off triond using lowest common denominators and click fraud.
Thanks for your sensible article …

Very good article and advice. It’s so true that many people get impatient when they first come to triond seeking overnight success that never comes. They go about things all wrong trying to get people to view and comment on their work, and start spamming the community to view their work on the forums, or sending the same e-mail to everyone. You touched on every concievable scenerio of getting started on the wrong foot when new people enter the triond community. This article needs to be a manditory read for all new people who join triond. Well done friend.

I fully agree with the author. Maybe our expectations are way too high, especially for newcomers to Triond.

Liked it. Agreed that most revenue comes from search engines rather than as a result of Triond reads.
