Which site pays better, Triond or Expertscolumn.
I pose this as a question, for the benefit of Google and other search engines, but the truth is, it isn’t much of a question. Though I’m fairly new to the residual income writing scene, I’ve already seen a major difference in these two popular residual income sites.
I started writing for Triond three months ago. When I began, Triond was just something for me to do with the few articles I had already written but hadn’t used or published.
I write a lot of articles through freelancing sites and get paid for nearly everything I
write. But sometimes article don’t exactly go as planned. Though I outline and plan for the large assignments, I often freewrite the small articles. As anyone who has ever done a free writing exercise knows, it’s easy to get sidetracked. When I do, I generally finish the thought, say what I have written, and start over. The result is a scrap older full of ideas and half written articles.When I discovered Triond, I knew I had found a home for these half written articles. So took the time to finish and polish the articles. Then I submitted them to Triond. I posted six or seven articles in the beginning. After that I tried to add a few every day. Within a week I had about 20 articles.
I had never before written for a residual income writing site, so I was pretty excited to see my Triond balance creeping up a penny at a time. I was finally approved for AdSense and linked my accounts. Within a week I’d earned about five cents on Triond and three dollars on AdSense. I thought I was doing pretty well considering that these were articles I’d already half written before I even started. However, a month into the experiment, I was already having problems with AdSense. They told me my account had been closed but didn’t tell me why. A few days later it was up again. A few days after that it was closed again. I never received any e-mails or notifications. Just the constant back-and-forth when I tried to login. It was frustrating to say the least. I’m still not sure if I even have an AdSense account.
As for my Triond account, it’s been three months and I am nearing my first payout which should be about 60 cents. It doesn’t sound bad for what was essentially a junk folder, but considering the work that I have done polishing and posting these articles, it isn’t really enough. I had already decided I was open to trying another site when someone recommended that I try ExpertsColumn.
I was happy to see that I didn’t have to write all new content to be posted on ExpertsColumn. As long as the author name is the same, ExpertsColumn is okay with republishing articles. That meant that I could republish my
Triond articles as well as a few of my blog posts. I could earn money on articles I had already written and send a little extra traffic to my blog. It seemed like a pretty good deal, even if my articles only made a penny or two a day.But ExpertsColumn surprised me. I posted my first few articles before going to bed that night. When I woke up, I was surprised to find that my ExpertsColumn account had already earned 10 cents. I know that doesn’t seem like much, but these were old, already published articles and I had done nothing to promote them. By the end of the day, it was up to 25 cents. I posted a few more articles and some links on Facebook and went to bed. This morning, when I woke up, the account was up to 36 cents. In two days on ExpertsColumn, I have earned what took me a month and a half to earn on Triond.
I have been on ExpertsColumn less than a week and I can already see how much better it is than Triond. I like the Triond community and I will continue to make the occasional post on the site, but there is no doubt that ExpertsColumn will be my new residual income writing home. The pay is much better and I don’t have to hassle with AdSense. ExpertsColumn is without a doubt better than Triond.
If you’re thinking of writing articles for money, but don’t want someone telling you what to write or how to write it, you should give ExpertsColumn a try. If you are uncertain about the amount of time you want to invest in the site, try simply reposting a few of your blog posts to see how they do. I think the results will surprise you. They certainly surprised me.
Of course, since ExpertsColumn has a referral program, I have to ask that if you choose to give the site a try, you use my referral link. I would greatly appreciate it. http://expertscolumn.com/referral/65789f15
