HubPages.com do something similar. These services have two clear benefits that I can see. First of all, you can write on any subject, even one that wouldn't fit your blog at all. Blogs need to stick to a niche, at least to an extent. Secondly, they're quick and easy. But of course, they're getting lots of content on their domains, which the writers provide. Having said that, they're probably worth experimenting with, depending on your own situation, of course. @Tha-Flash: I’m sure there’s lots of services like Trion around.

It depends on how much traffic you get visiting your article on their website. I'm sure you're well aware of StumbleUpon and things like that. (btw I thumbs up'd this article ;) I'm thinking creating a portfolio and getting all of your articles in a blog is best for the long term. I just look at other sites and it amazes me how many articles they have. I've written a lot but consider myself a beginner writer, I'm publishing many articles hoping to improve after I've done hundreds. Here's from the Triond site FAQ: How are my earnings calculated? Your earnings are equivalent to 50 percent of the net revenue generated by advertising which appears on the pages alongside your content. Back to Top How much will I earn? The amount you earn will depend on the number of views your articles generate and the average value of a page view for that page. I'm not sure about whether anyone else makes a lot of money from it, I'm sure it's possible. Hey Simon

I’m not sure about whether anyone else makes a lot of money from it, I’m sure it’s possible.

I'm not the expert on this, but I think you should beware of falling into the duplicate content trap. You could easily rework your article so it reads differently but covers the same subject, however. I have no experience with Triond so I don't know how much money people make from it. I'd be interested to hear your experiences, if you are using this service. At least they are giving a share of the revenue, rather than paying $1 an article. @Tha-Flash – If Google thinks you’re putting content on your blog that has already been used elsewhere, it’s likely to penalise your ranking.

Great article. Can't you publish on sites such as Triond and earn small amounts of money for the time being while still publishing them on your own blog?

Great article.
