Hi again! I am a member of both sites. I find it more fascinating to write in Triond because I can easily get viewership from its community.
However, it seems like Expertscolumn, though new, pays a lot more. I think it's easier to earn the $5 in EC than the $.50 in Triond on a monthly basis.
I am not fully into EC because I'm not familiar with their platform yet. I just transfer a few articles each day from Triond so that I remain active with them.
Anyway, what's your view on these 2 sites? Which one are you more active in?

Hi visavis! I enjoy working in Triond. I've had several payout from there. I'm hoping to reach payment again this month even though I've been out for some time. Anyway, yeah! Check out EC, perhaps you'll enjoy working there as well.

I tried Triond once before and now feel like it is a complete waiste of my time. The idea of having to get viewers for money, small change at that anoys me and doesnt work for me. I don't like stuff where its a popularity contest.

Hmm... It really depends on what you find worth doing on the net, aprilmom. If you don't like writing that much, then you may not really enjoy Triond.
Do you blog?
Anyway, best of luck to you!

I see, I assume you prefer working in the office rather than online, am I correct?
Anyway, whatever works for you aprilmom. You can visit my page in Triond and see if that changes your mind. I've been paid several times on Triond so I think it's a good way to make some money. Yes, they may earn the articles we produce but we can still re-publish them to other site so we make more money out of it. And if you want to still own your own content, then you can just make a blog. That's how things go.
Best of luck to you!

Sense I have never gotten the privaledge of working in a office the answer would have to be no. I also am online all the time sense I keep my computer on 24/7. Also its wrong to republish a article on another website. So if a website is not going to pay for the actual article and only the views which mostly have to be gotten by you then I am not interested.

I have been writing for Triond for awhile now. I love the community on Triond, but revenue is very slow lately. I hadn't heard of Expertscolumn, so thanks for mentioning it here. I will check it out. Good luck with all your writing endeavors.

I have made my account on trinod but never wrote a single article there, i don't get much time online say i get online 3 hours in a month to spend online on laptop unless everything i do is from my mobile phone. Mylotting i am doing it with my cellphone only, triond, it doesn't work on cellphone so i have never got chance to write any article.
I love to write as it gives you a chance to express your views in front of everyone, I will start my writing again as soon as i get my laptop.
and abut EC i have never tried it an don'tt wanna too.

Hi darap! I can understand why you don't like to try EC. I think it'll work best for Triond writers with quite a number of articles already. I don't enjoy the platform of EC but the pay seems to be better. I only transfer my old Triond articles there so I can earn money from both sites.
Good luck on your writing. I hope you do well in Triond and in other sites, as well.

Hi friend!
So you're now submitting articles in EC,good for you! Haven't done any articles yet in triond for this month beingwell,maybe next month I will!
I like both sides 'cause I am earning from one article I write to these sites,it's like write one,takes two sites,haha! I like triond so much 'cause even if I don't write,I still earn more than the minimum payout. I've already submitted 6(as far as I remember)articles in EC and the last time I saw it,it earned $0.68 already so I'm really happy with those two sites. EC is a bonus site for my articles.

Hahaha! That's right mtr. It's like an extra earning site. I only have a few articles there, too. Maybe just 6. I haven't been really putting much effort in that site. Maybe soon...hahahaha! I'm procrastinating again...

Hi beingwell, I have been months on triond and really enjoy to write anything there. Like they said, Triond is just like a blog but awesome. There are little content restriction which allow us to be as creative as possible.The platform is also quite easy to learn and give us quite complete information about our published contents and its traffic status. The community are also exciting to contribute to our published contents since they are expecting the same.
I know that earnings not so much if we are not actively writing frequently or if our articles are SEO rich enough to generate organic traffic.
I have came accross to Expert column but since so many pop-ups generated from there, I prefer to stick on Triond up to now.

That's right visavis! Actually, if you have Bukisa account, you can also transfer your Triond articles there.

Same here, omch. I trust Triond more than I trust EC for the moment. Still, I transfer my old articles in EC since they permit us to re-post our original articles. At least, I'm earning in 2 sites somehow.hihih..

To be honest, I am not a member on both sites, even though I really want to spend some time on writing. I have a couple of website on mind, but I simply lazy and found myself do not have abundant of time to keep on writing. I definitely want to submit some good articles online, and let people read my good writing. I want to make some extra money too. Hopefully, some of you will see my writing soon!

Good for you kingparker! Perhaps one of these days, you'll be inspired to write as well. Say, what online work are you doing then?

I write for Triond occasionally, not as much as I should, but I do find it to be something of a challenge to meet the $.50 cent minimum on a regular basis! I have not looked into Expertscolumn, but it sounds like a good site based on your description, so I think I will check it out, and then give a better answer to your question!

Hello beingwell, its nice to meet you. You might have recognized me from Triond.
I like Triond a lot. Many friends have asked me to join Experts Column but I could not join it because my hands are already filled with so many other projects. But Thank you so much for your information about reposting Triond artiles to Experts Coulmn, I think I will do that someday.
How much have you earned from Experts Column? Are they legit? Have you got paid ? Please keep us informed. Looking forward to your reply. Thanks a lot.

HI GoldenAsh! Yeap, I do recognize you. Howdy?
I'm earning a few cents there though I'm not really doing much work. I'm thinking if I really want to cash out fast there, I can. Right now, I have 22cents from my 4 or 5 articles there.hihihi...
Anyway, I hear other writers cash out the 5 bucks in a span of a month. I thinks that's very possible with EC. Still though, my loyalty is with Triond (for now).
