Triond Offer 30% Bonus Payments For February

Triond is one of my favourite paid to write sites and it is also one of the few sites that offer the chance to earn money without signing up for a Google Adsense account. I have an Adsense account, but it is never good to put all of your eggs in one basket and I like the idea that my Triond earnings form a seperated income stream. I must point out, however, that if is possible for writers to integrate Adsense into their Triond accounts if they want to and that if they decide to do so their overall earnings are likely to increase.

If you have often thought about writing for a paid to write site, now is a very good time to become a Triond writer because this February the Triond team are offering their writers bonus earnings.

• Publish 5 articles and get a 10% bonus.
• Publish 10 articles and get a 20% bonus.
• Publish 20 articles and get a 30% bonus.

A 30% bonus! That’s not bad at all and it should be easy to achieve as well. Five articles a week would do it and, remember, with Triond your articles can be as long or as short as you want, and so you do not need to write 20 long and wordy articles to receive the bonus.

The Chair

Just before they hung him, Thomas Busby laid a curse on anybody who sat in his favourite chair. The chair now hangs from the wall of the Thirsk Museum, but for many years it remained at the Busby Stoop Inn. Many visitors to the inn scoffed at the curse and some of them even went as far as to sit in Busby’s chair. Some of them were dead within just a few hours: Busby Stoop's Cursed Chair.

Medicinal Leeches Not Old Hat

In the olden days leeches used to be the prescribed course of treatment for any and every ailment. If you had a cold they got out the leeches, if you had gout they bled you, if you'd fallen on your behind and bruised your tushy it was leeches again. It's not like that now, but medicinal leeches still have their uses: Have You Got Any Leeches For This?

Call Him Orlock If You Want, But He's Still Dracula

The courts ordered that all copies of the 1922 movie Nosferatu must be destroyed, but that was a long time ago and the movie managed to survive. Why did they make such a ruling? Because of copyright infringement. The movie was based on Dracula and the director did not have permission to make it, so he made some changes. Count Dracula became Count Orlok and Van Helsing became non-existent, but the changes were not enough to disguise the truth. It was still Dracula: Nosferatu, The Movie That Should Never Have Been.

New Article About ZoZo the Ouija Board Demon

When you search the net for real life Ouija board stories most of the ones that you will find concern people’s bad experiences with the boards and the name ZoZo comes up in an incredible amount of the stories. I have been interested in this subject for a while now and finally got around to writing an article about it: The ZoZo Phenomenon.

Xomba Bookmarks Now Need to Be Longer

I have been posting a few bookmarks at Xomba lately. It is a good way to drive some extra traffic to my articles, but Xomba also offer a 50/50 Adsense revenue share. This means that Xombies can earn money on their bookmarks as well as gaining some extra traffic.

The minimum amount of words in a bookmark used to be 50, but that changed a couple of days ago. Now the minimum amount of words needed in a bookmark is 100. The minimum requirement may have doubled, but I still think that bookmarking at Xomba is a very worthwhile practice and the minimum length for articles is only 200 words. Check out Xomba here.

Yorkshire Legends: The Drummer Boy

I’ve always been fascinated by myths and legends. Many years ago I heard the story of the Drummer boy who met with an unknown fate while trying to trace the route of a tunnel that was believed to connect Richmond Castle to Easby Abbey. My thoughts turned to that story the other day, I wrote an article about it, and it is now available to read at Authspot: Yorkshire Legends: The Drummer Boy.
