Is It Wise to Keep Writing for Writing Sites?

I have already written over 250 articles on Triond. When I started to write for Triond a year ago I had avid interest to post my creations on this site. The page views I got that time and the money I could generate from my Triond articles at that time were not that bad when compared to my current page impressions and earnings. Nevertheless things began to change a lot at Triond particularly after the Google panda updates and today I am beginning to think whether it’s really wise to write for writing sites Triond in particular. Please keep reading….

Earning scope for writing on writing sites: I knew very well that I could never become rich overnight writing online. I was also aware of the fact that no one can make big money by writing for sites like Triond. Then why did I start writing for the writing sites? I always love to write and share my views with others. No wonder I began to write online. I thought I could improve my writing skills and my English by writing on writing sites like HubPages and Triond. Of course making a few bucks online is another objective of my writing on writing sites. I believed I could make a few dollars if I wrote 100 plus articles on Triond. Nevertheless my Triond earning has dropped heavily for the past few months especially after the Google panda updates. It’s so disappointing to note that my 50 plus republished Triond articles at Experts Column are making more money than my 300 plus articles here on Triond. Moreover Triond recognizes only a few of its favorite writers. You get no money and no recognition, and then what’s the use in posting all your articles here? In my opinion, no writing site is worth spending your precious time. We need to accept the fact that only a very few writers are making decent money even at Hubpages and Squidoo. Making huge money from writing sites is like building castles in air. The sites you are writing for would certainly grow by the hard work you put into along with thousands of other writers.

Is it worth to keep writing for the writing sites? In my opinion it’s not at all worth to write for writing sites for long periods. May be it’s useful to sharpen your writing skills. But it’s not wise to spend your valuable time substantially on these sites for long periods. Instead you can start your own blog and keep posting your articles there consistently. You can also make money from freelance writing jobs. At the same time you can keep in touch with Triond and post a few articles here every month to ensure your old articles generate some revenue every month passively.

Summary: If you want to improve your English and writing skills, you can write for the writing sites for some time. However I think it’s not wise to continue spending your entire time in writing for writing sites. Instead you can post one or two articles occasionally on your favorite writing sites. It’s highly sensible to start your own blog after being active on a writing site for quite some time. It’s my opinion and I know opinion differs. Thanks for reading.
