Hurricane Bill

As I was looking through the news today, I found out that there was a new hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean. I have been hearing stuff about a new hurricane, but I thought they must be some weak hurricane that will die out before hittng land.

But then, I decided to look up some information about this so called "threat". I thought that this year is going to be a passive hurricane season out in Florida, and the rest of the Gulf of Mexico; no big hurricanes, hot and dry like in Texas (which is the exact opposite there), etc. Well, it turns out it can become the hurricane of the year.

Hurricane Bill is at this point a category one hurricane, but, according to the weather channel,

There is a chance that Bill could go through rapid intensification in the next 24 to 30 hours. Bill is forecast to become a major hurricane (category three or higher) in about 36 hours.

While Tropical Storm Claudette is bringing massive amounts of good wet rain to Alabama (lucky!), Hurricane Bill is intensifying, and tropical storm Ana looms over the basin as a coming threat. Withing 36 hours, we can see what will happen to Bill. The entire country is watching Bill as it may become the next Katrina.

Triond + Blogging= Success

I really hate Triond by this point. Summer is about to be over, and I barely made four dollars. But hey, it's better than nothing, right?

Yes, it beats the crap out of getting nothing. Especially if you blog. Blogging is not profitable after like five or six months of it. It's sad. But with Triond, you get lifetime royalties of maybe a dollar or two a month!

But, you can make that even better. You can use all the articles accepted by Triond on your blog, too. If you link your articles on Triond to the same articles on your blog, you get free traffic- no you get PAID to bring traffic to your blog. How cool is that?

Triond is, however, better than blogging if you think about it. With blogging, you actually need to think about bringing traffic to your blog, managing your blog, SEO'ing your blog, pinging your blog, etc. It is a hard life as a blogger.

But Triond promotes your articles for you, so all you have to do is keep writing. You can just keep writing without any worries. And if you put a link to your blog, you can keep writing and get paid to generate traffic to your blog at the same time. If you put a backlink to that same article on your blog on every article, your Google ranking for your blog also goes up.

This is why you see the link to my blog on about every article I write. But now, instead of promoting this blog, that has all my personal thoughts, I am going to redirect the traffic to my new blog, "Random Articles Weekly". Every week, it will be updated three times with a brand new article.

If you still haven't checked out all my articles yet, then go to https://www.triond.com/users/gourab.

New Blog? Forget it.

While I was sleeping, I was thinking about my new blog. I realised that it wasn't worth it to plan everything out. It was just too much involved in it.

But that doesn't mean that there is not going to be any Random Articles Weekly. There will be a random articles weekly, only it is going to be very different from what I planned it to be. I will be the one writing all the posts, but there isn't going to be any video from me. Instead, I'm just going to upload some of the best videos of the web during that week.

I was originally thinking of making the blog with WordPress, but there are apparently a lot of complications. WordPress is extremely limited. I only get three gigs of space on it. That is enough for Random Articles Weekly, but it's not free to upload videos, or audio. So that's why I am staying with my friend, Blogger.

In a few days I am going to start up the blog. Be sure to check it out.

Random Articles Weekly

The dream of my life, becoming the owner of a newsletter that has no niche, is something that I have hung on to for a long time. A blogger is as close to as a journalist as possible. The only difference is that being a blogger is much better. You get to set your own hours, and do what you want to your blog.

So this is why, on August 16, 2009, I am going to launch my dream. I am going to start a brand new blog with all the content I have ever written, and whatever I will write. I named it "Random Articles Weekly". The idea for it is to start a blog that gives people a range of things to read about and learn about. It's very simple, and it should be a success.

But for that to happen, I need whoever reads this post to spread the word to their friends about this blog and that blog. I will continue to post here, but also to that blog. Most of my efforts will go towards that one, but for all the loyal followers of my journey as a writer, I will post some of the articles I post there here as well.

Anyways, I hope that you will check out that blog when I launch it.

Blogger vs. WordPress

I have been blogging for the first time this during this summer. I found nothing else besides writing random articles and posting them to this blog as a good niche. It was the only thing that I had some experience in, so I thought, "Why not?" and started my blog.

It has been about two months since I started it. I didn't know how to blog the right way at first, so I messed up repeatedly. Instead of putting the good content I wrote on my blog, I posted them on all the sites that payed me to write. Did I make any good money? No. But you can. If you don't follow my same mistakes.

But if you already messed up miserably, my advice to you is to just start over.

You have two choices for this. Either start up another blogger blog, or go to a different service. One of the other sites I rank really high is WordPress. WordPress is one of the best platforms for blogging. Compared to blogger, it is much more customizable, and has a sleeker interface than Blogger.

I tried to create a blog on WordPress, but because I don't ever plan anything out, I failed miserably. That's what I hate about it. You have to plan a blog before posting. On Blogger, you can post anything you want, but you can fix it. I really like WordPress, but you have to plan everything out beforehand. Your blog can't be like mine. In order to be successful from WordPress, you have to remember to plan what your blog is supposed to be about, plan some posts ahead, and NEVER give your content away to paid submission sites. Only give like one article a day to other sites. Make three posts ONLY for your blog.

For more information about what to do when you start a blog, go to http://www.johntp.com/2007/11/28/things-to-do-after-starting-a-new-wordpress-blog/. It shows you step by step what to do when setting a WordPress blog.

What would you chose? A blog, or a website that pays you to write?

This is something that I have a big debate about. Every day when I write a good blog post, I think,"Should I publish it on Associated Content, my blog, or Triond?" It is a really difficult choice. Are paid writing sites better than blogging? Or is it better to get the residual income that you get from your blog? Would you prefer to have your content published immediately? Or would you want a distant reviewer to review it, and then let you publish it? They are hard to answer, but they really depend on what you want.

When it comes to writing online, there is two reasons why people do it. Number one is that they want to write what they want and become a known writer in the internet. The second reason is to make some money. From either side, there are a lot of people doing it.

If you just write for recognition, it is an extremely difficult decision to either publish to your blog or to a paid content site. Even if the paid content site is not in the top 500 Alexa group, your blog is probably not in the 100,000's. But with your blog, you can instantly publish, with no worry about when your stuff is going to get published. What do I say? I don't know what to say. If you do publish your content at a submission site you will get the recognition. Not only will you get that, you might even make money. But if you do publish to that site, you won't have content for your blog. If you do publish the same content for your blog, you won't be able to be found on Google; the search engines will label the content as duplicate, and you won't get recognition, or money. So if you have a popular blog, go ahead and post the content there. If you just started blogging, don't bother to. All you have to do is put in a link to your blog on your articles.

If you want money, I have the same advice. If you have a popular blog, post it there. You will make a lot more money than those paid submission sites. If you don't have even a bit of traffic to your blog, use your articles to direct traffic to your blog. Not only is it free, you get paid to drive traffic to your own blog! Why not just make money from those articles? Because blogging can make you a lot more money in a lot less time than those sites.

Now should I post it this article to Triond, Associated Content, or my blog :). I wonder.......

Writing for money: Is it worth it?

Here is the one word answer: NO.

Writing for money is definetly not worth it. You will barely make any money. That is, IF you make any money. I was one of the successful people who made almost ten dollars in three months, but it really is not worth working day and night for something that isn't going to do crap to you.

So after having nothing to do this extremely hot summer besides working on new articles, hoping to make some good money, all I have to say for it is that I ain't even close to being worth it. You need a lot of time to become a successful writer, and make hundreds of extra dollars a month (something I don't have).

But after writing for so long, I have learned about how to market your blog, show it to the world, create traffic with it, and most importantly, make money off of it. However, due to the restriction of time I have, I just can't implement those strategies. I have like ten ebooks on making money from blogs, but I just can't make them work for me.

So for all of you people looking to make some money from becoming a part time writer, all I have to say to you is DO IT, but plan stuff out. Take time to plan out what you are gonna do first. For example, I try to plan out a day before whether I am going to promote my articles, or write more articles.

But did that work? No. I didn't have time. So the main part of becoming a writer is time management. If you can't manage your time, I need to tell you, you WILL NOT become a successful writer. You will not get anything out of wasting time for unplanned stuff.

Google vs. PC

Most of us have probably seen the mac and pc ads on TV. But I bet you no one has seen a Google vs. PC ads on TV. For all I know, they should be filling the airwaves pretty dang soon.

After Google announced that it was going to release a new state of the art operating system surpassing the quality of Windows, most computer geeks and regular people alike have created a huge buzz about it online. Most people can't wait for Google to release the better alternative to Windows.

Because of that Microsoft is scared to death. It actually fears one of it's best friends, Google. How could they not? Google should be feared. Their Chrome OS is supposed to be so revolutionary, that it boots up in seconds, not minutes like Windows. Not only is that awesome, but Chrome OS is supposed to be based ONLY online, with offline access. The pc's running that OS use Google Docs as MS Office, and can access their files offline as I mentioned.

But wait, there's even more. Chrome OS is supposed to have more, but I don't know what it is.

What's Wrong with Milk?

A vegan diet isn't a bad diet, but I just don't like it. Why? It's just too stupid to stop eating all animal products. From the last post, you should know that I don't like to eat much meat. But that's meat. The flesh of a once living being. But animal products are different. Stuff like milk, yogurt, butter, and everything made of milk are stuff that are good. They aren't morally wrong.

I am like a vegan; I don't eat eggs, gelatin, and all that stuff. But the one thing I don't like about about it is that you can't drink milk. Instead, you need to drink soy milk or some crap like that. I know, processing milk takes up energy that in turn harms the environment. But does it really make a difference? It can easily be made up for.

A regular vegan diet is only made up of vegetables, fruits, and grains. Oh, and not to mention a crap load of soy products. This kind of diet is a good way to eat, it lets poor fateless animals live, and also helps the environment by not polluting the air with all the manufacturing. But still, it's kind of stupid to not drink milk. I mean, cows themselves drink milk. So would that be called cannibalism? No, so how come we can't drink cow milk? It's not cool. Drinking milk is not morally wrong, though the treatment of cows for that milk might be. But usually cows are alright with it.

Cows like to get milked. Milk is something that is there to be gotten rid of. It's there to feed calves and living people. If heart transplants aren't cannibalism, then drinking milk shouldn't be either.

True, there are some some health risks, but, not many people get all the diseases and conditions from drinking it. No one drinks milk to an excess to cause cancer. Though some hormones in milk can promote types of cancer, there are many more benefits than disadvantages from drinking milk.

Eating Meat Damages the Environment?

I don't like eating animals much. I keep it a minimum to the days that I am forced to eat some fish from my mom (I am only 14). But it shocked me to know that meat eating is bad for the environment, too. This is one of the things that I just learned due to this wierd article that my dad left me.

I was writing an article for Associated Content when my dad came home for his lunch break with this weird poster. It was like those Pizza Hut ads but without any pizzas. I started to read it and found it pretty interesting. It was from one of the Asian TV stations that focused on a good planet. Though it was an ad from a TV station, it had some true facts on it.

There are apparently a lot of ways to save the environment. One of which was to stop eating meat. I decided to check out their website to find out more.

Apparently, it's true, or at least the UN says it's supposed to be true. The amount of energy put into feeding the animals, caring for the animals, processing their meaty flesh that americans love does a lot of harm. For one thing, forests are being cut down in order to make room for the farms and grazing space for the animals. It also takes up a lot more resources to make the animals big, fat and meaty. That leaves a lot less food for us humans.

Eating meat also produces a lot of CO2 in the atmosphere. For every pound of beef, there is about three hours worth of gas emmisions from a car. That is a lot of energy worth of money.

The Magic of using Paypal

As I wrote in the post before this one, I just now started using Associated Content, which requires a PayPal account. I thought it was going to be a hard thing to set one up, load it up with money, blah, blah.

Well, it's not really like that. Information about your bank account or credit card is not necessary. You can give the information to them, but for people like me that never like to spread out extremely personal information, I wouldn't. PayPal is like an online bank of sorts. You can get paid online, and keep the money in your account until you want to withdraw some of it.

The only thing about this is that you can't send any money, and you can withdraw five hundred dollars at a time. The only way to do what ever you want on PayPal is to give them your bank account and card info. Overall, it was a pretty good experience. I highly recommend you get an account before starting an online career.

Associated Content Review

For all the time I have been a writer (not that long), I have not seen a paid article submission site like Associated Content. I have heard a lot of praise for it, but I never wrote for it. I thought it was for people that were professionals. But I was horribly wrong.

You see, my first experience of Associated Content was not so fun of an experience. First, I was rejected for a really good article, all because it had a link to a store (which was why I hated it) , and then I heard that it got a horrible page ranking, so getting a good performance payment was out of reach.

Well, after a month of hearing that crap, I went over to Alexa.com to find out how my favorite Triond crushed AC's rank.

What I found out was just heartbreaking. It turns out that Associated Content BEATS THE CRAP OUT OF TRIOND. AC's ranking was 577, but Triond, and it's sister sites were ranked way beyond the 20,000 mark. After finding that out, I was crushed. I could have made a lot more money if I had submitted my articles to Associated Content. But I didn't. I hung on to the few cents that I got every day.

So now, I am not going to write much for Triond, but I will write for Associated Content A LOT. I will look for an Associated Content Blog widget to put on here, but until then, I will just write about any new article that I published.

$10,000 From a blog. ON AUTOPILOT?

Making money from blogging is my dream. For me, a good $100 a month is good enough. I'm alright earning this moderate income every month from doing what I love: Writing. Writing is addictive. Especially if you are posting to a blog. It gets very addictive; for example, just today alone, I have posted like three or four posts. Please check them out.

Anyways, back to making a good passive income from blogging. It is awesome to be able to do what you love to do, but it's even better when you make a good income for yourself.

But it would be even better if you got RICH from blogging. This is my goal. Unfortunately, it's probably not going to happen for me. School is starting in about three weeks. But it could be within your reach.

Just a few minutes ago, I was looking all over the web for a way to make a good income from blogs with little work. Like always, there's no easy free way. You have to buy something or other. And as you know, I am a poor little writer barely making three bucks a month.

But you can make a good amount of profit from blogging. That is, if you are willing to spend some $37. Just click on this link to go to their sales pitch.

To me, it is really worth it. True, I can't buy it, but if you do, there is some hope for me being able to invest in this. Again, click here to see it's website. If you don't buy it, at least get your free money making blog.

Making money from blogging

Since I have nothing better to do during summer break, I decided to make some money writing articles online. From the previous article, you know that for this month, I will only make some two dollars and ninety six cents. Sucks, right?

Yup.

But I still haven't given up. Writing is just something that I love to do. True I don't make crud from Triond or Bukisa, but writing is something I ain't gonna give up so easily.

All over the internet, I have read a lot of articles on making money from blogs.

I've only read about it, those people never gave me specifics about how to do this. All they said was that you need to get a lot of traffic to your blog, and you should get some followers. My question to them is that HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THAT?

Getting traffic is not as easy as counting to 50. It can take years for that. And I don't have years, I have just three months. No, at this point, I barely have three weeks to build some good traffic to my blog. So what the heck am I supposed to do? Buy it????

Heck no. I started with zero dollars, but that doesn't mean I will end up with zero dollars. Nor does it mean I will end up with only three dollars by the end of summer.

No, I will get some good traffic and make somewhat good of an income. And if you want to help me, PLEASE, spread this blog to your friends and contacts. I will come up with something to award you.

What I hate about internet marketing

Internet marketing is one of the most prosperous industries during these hard economic times. For me though, it's just a place I don't want to be.

I would never have been in this internet marketing hellhole if I hadn't been so desperate to earn some extra fifty bucks. That was all that I wanted at first. But unfortunately for me, that was too little to earn. Internet marketing was for making hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Yet sometimes I think that it's not worth it.

I know you must be thinking that I am crazy to let go of such an oppurtunity, but it is just not worth it for me. It is great way to make a fortune faster than your wildest dreams, but it isn't for me.

The greatest hurdle that I have had to face is money. From the first time I signed up for that 12 part ecourse by David Guidon to now, I have not made any money. Why not? Because of one little thing called money. Without money, you can't get a .com domain, without money, you can't buy a website template, without money YOU CAN'T EARN MONEY!!!!

I have most of the information I need to start me a million dollar website. Why have I not made any money yet?

Simple answer: The internet marketing experts give away free information worth millions of dollars. But they don't give away the stuff you need to utilise that information for free. For that, you need to buy their product.

So what did I do when I realised that I couldn't make it online? I didn't give in. I kept on my quest for the one way to make some good money fast.

I looked up so much on Google: Free web hosts, free website builder, free domain, free money. Yet did I make a single dollar from the web?

Yes I did. In fact this month I am getting $2.96. More than two times the value of a dollar. How did I get it? Freelance writing for this site called Triond. You don't make much money at all, but for someone desperate enough, this is the perfect way to get some money. You don't get paid much, ( I was one of the lucky ones that got a lot of page views ) but for someone this desperate, I would say, "Go for it!"

But now, after backbreaking work, all I have to say about Internet marketing is that it is impossible to get rich without spending your own money hard owned money. So now I just depend on the few cents I get from this blog and submitting my articles to a new paid content submission site called Associated Content.

What Not to do When You are Stranded out at Sea

It must be a horrible experience to be stuck in the middle of nowhere. It's even worse if you are stuck out at sea. The sea covers a lot more space than land, so once you are lost at sea, you are most likely out of luck. But if you aren't stupid enough to do these few things, you have a good chance of getting rescued and going back to home. So whatever you do, do not ever do the following things if you are lost at sea.

1. Ride a dolphin back home- You probably saw this happen in the movies a lot of times. The hero, almost dead, is surrounded by sharks without any way out. Then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, dolphins come out and chase away the sharks, and take the unconscious hero back to home.

Image via Wikipedia

This does not always happen in real life. If you do decide to ride a dolphin back home, remember that ther are a lot of things that can go wrong. First of all, a dolphin does not know what you are saying, and because of that, there is a pretty good chance it won't understand what you are saying. Second of all, a dolphin does not know where you came from. If you try to tell it where you came from, it can't understand you. Even if you were able to speak dolphin, would you be able to tell it that you came from Australia? No, you couldn't, because the dolphin does not know what Australia is.If you were able to navigate it to Australia, you probably wouldn't be lost in the first place, would you?

2. Have a food fight- Now this is probably the one of the worst thing you can possibly do. If you are stranded out at sea in a lousy little boat that ran out of gas with little to no food available besides raw fish and seaweed, then this is probably something you shouldn't do. It would waste your resources and make your ability to live a little smaller. Now we don't want that, do we?

Image via Wikipedia

3. Go as far away as you can from incoming ships- It doesn't matter if it's a ship, boat, submarine, helicopter, space shuttle, or flying saucers. Don't go away from one unless you know that it is not friendly. If you don't go to an approaching ship, you will probably not encounter another one any time soon.

What Not to do on a Boat Ride

Boat riding is a very popular summertime activity. On holidays, you will see thousands of people at the lake zooming through the water at about 50 miles per hour in their speedboat or (for the rich people) just sailin' softly (and richly) in their brand new top of the line yacht. There is so many people boating, that there is barely any place to do anything else. That's probably why there are so many people that get harmed in some way while in a boat. So many people do stupid things when on a boat. And by stupid, I mean stuff that you they wouldn't do if they had any common sense. Here are some of the things that you should never do on a boat, no matter what anyone tells you.

1. Pull any plugs that say "DON'T PULL", or press a red button saying "SELF DESTRUCT" - This is number one on this list for a reason. There are a lot of people that do this and one of two things happen to them. Either their boat gets sunk, or the boat blows up sending you to a deserted island. Something like the one below.

Image via Wikipedia

2. Dive out of the boat into the water- Don't ever attempt to do this from a moving boat. You will get lost in the water. If you can't swim, don't even try to think about doing this. You will drown.

Doing this in the sea would just wash you away from the boat. So don't attempt this out there. You will get eaten by aquatic bigfoot. Yes, they are real.

3. Try to feed the fish- If you do try to feed them, don't lean overboard. Or even better, don't feed them at all. There is a chance that you will go overboard.

Image via Wikipedia

4. Go boating during a hurricane- A hurricane is an event no one wants to go through on land. So what would make you think about going through one in the water? Boating during a hurricane will almost always sink your boat and your you. To see a video about what it's like to be in a boat during a hurricane click this link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3GaHoi1Utw

5. Distract the boat driver- Distracting the person that is taking you on a ride can end up with deadly consequences. If the driver doesn't like you that much, it would be worse to distract him/her. If the driver makes the wrong turn somewhere, your boat might run aground, crash into the rocks, or even worse. In some cases, if the driver gets a heart attack, or passes out, you yourself might have to drive it. If you are not familiar with the controls, or have never driven a boat, you are most likely going to roam around until you run out of power.

Remember, this article was only made as a joke. For real boat safety tips, consult your boat specialist.

Waffles vs. Pancakes

Every morning, I wake up, start walking around my house for some energy, and have breakfast. I don't have anything good, just some healthy raisin bran and milk. Occasionally a peanut butter jelly sandwich. Not much with waffles or pancakes.

But that doesn't mean I don't like waffles or pancakes. I love them. Whenever I get the chance to eat them for breakfast, I do. To tell you the truth, there really isn't much of a difference between them. You can use pancake mix to make waffles, so what's the deal with the pancake vs. waffle debate?

Well, apparently there is a lot of stuff at stake because this debate has gone on for years by this point.

Pancakes are no doubt good. But all it is flour mixed with milk, sugar and possibly eggs fried on a smooth frying pan.

But waffles are also good. Though not fluffy like the inside of a pancake, it's squarishness inside of a circle have perplexed man for a long time.

What's better? I like both, but it's hard to chose for me. Tell me your opinion of this by commenting.

New Article on Triond

Hey people, I just got a new article published on Triond. It's called, "What do people like to read About?" . Click on the link to read it. Here is a small excerpt from it:

I know many people that want to get published online. Yet they can’t. No matter how much they try, they can’t get their article online. And even if they do, no one reads their stuff.

The one thing I hate about hubpages

If you keep up with all my articles on Triond, you can see that I am a good published author. I've got some fans, friends, and some articles. It's all pretty well, that is, if you don't count the amount of money I make.

But there is one website I hate more than anything that pays you to write. On Triond, it took me a month to make two dollars and ninety six cents, but on HubPages, I haven't even come close to making that much. From two AdSense Clicks, all I have made is seventy cents. True, it's a better rate than Triond, but that is still pathetic. I got like three hundred ad clicks on Triond, but only two clicks on HubPages.

Every day, I log on to my AdSense account hoping that I made a dollar or two from AdSense clicks. Do I usually see that, though? No. All I see is the discouraging $0.00 on the top of my screen. Disgusting.

HubPages

Just recently I started to write for hubpages. So far, it has not gotten me much money, but the hubs themselves are getting some small traffic. My hubs are listed below:

Triond Articles Written by Yours Truly

Triond is one of my favorite article writing websites. I have written quite a few articles for that site, and all I have to say for this experience is that writing on Triond was a fun experience. Unlike writing for school, I actually got to portray my emotions, not just write essays. True, I make only a few dollars a month, but that's all I really need.

Here is a list of some of the articles I've written for Triond:

Why You Shouldn't do something stupid that could ruin your life

Weight Loss is supposed to be hard, Right?

Triond vs. Associated Content

One Thing Triond Beginners should never attempt to write about

The "Immortality" Herb

My First Month on Triond

After about a month on Triond, a popular publishing site, this is what I had to say about it:

"Triond is an awesome site. They pay you fifty percent of the revenue from any PPC ads that viewers might have clicked.

It's just like a blog on blogger, but there is much more traffic to their sites. You can't expect to make a lot of money, for example, after the first week writing on Triond, I made eight cents. This revenue gets bigger as you write more. The more exposure your articles get, the more people will read your articles, and more people will click on the ads.

I wrote about ten or thirteen articles about random topics ranging from health, to bigfoot, to writing in general. I didn't make much from all that. In three weeks, I made fourty two cents.

But then I wrote something about what to write and what not to write about on Triond.It was called "Five things you should avoid writing about" It made it to the hot content list. It was so popular, that experienced Triond writers absolutely hated that article, and me with it. But some people actually liked it. The article was a kind of bust, though. I didn't know what was extremely popular in society and what was not. So I put down some advice about what to write about. I was just typing down some advice about what stuff you should write about. It was only what I could think about out of the top of my head. Nothing more. I just started writing. Little did I know that it would make the hot content list, or that people would hate it.

That one article got me over sixty cents almost singlehandedly. It was amazing, but I don't suggest you do the same. Write these kinds of advice articles only after you have been writing for at least a year. Because if you do, the expert writers are going to do all they can to degrade your work. That article got bad comments like:

'Gravedig. I hate that I read this.'

'You seem to have broken your own rules! You have written about something you don’t know about. 1 month is not long enough to learn all about what works on Triond. As any successful Trionder and they will tell you that there are no certainties and there sre no fortunes to be made. It’s all hard work.. As for Bigfoot and Cell structures, believe it, or not, a good writer can make that interesting and get traffic to it.'

'I like Bigfoot. This article is something you should not write about if you have only been on Triond for one month. How can you know enough to tell everyone what not to do?'

These are some of the harsher comments. And one thing about the second comment. I never said that I was an expert, nor did I tell anyone what to do. I was just giving some advice on how you can get a good article. So what if I have been on Triond for only one month, I have experience writing. I have felt how it is to write about the five things that I have said not to write about. It's not fun at all. And about bigfoot and the atomic structure of acai berry, I was just giving examples of what I wasn't comfortable writing about. Bigfoot can be made into a good article, I admit, but chemistry is something that is meant to be dull and boring. Only another Charles Dickens, or Harper Lee can make that into a great Pulitzer prize article.

I got some good comments ,too, from begginner Triond writers. It was comforting, but the harshness of the other comments hurt. So after a month on Triond, what I have learned is to not write about Triond. At least until a year or two of experience. And I will never do it again."

This is all I had to say about Triond. It's good, but you might have to hear harsh criticism if you write about writing on Triond within your first month.
