Triond is a company that is located both in Silicon Valley and in Israel that will allow bloggers the ability to republish or publish works within the framework of their blogging systems, and make 50% of the advertising value of those works. Think of this as super syndication with an added bonus of being paid for the works.

If you blog on a group blog, or on your own blog, after about 6 months (and if your articles are stable enough to still be valid six months after they have been originally published on the network) you could use this system to make some money off older articles.

Most syndication systems do not pay for bloggers or writers content, and sploggers are not going to care, they are also trying to profit off your content. Using a super syndication site like Triond means that the blogger stands a chance of getting their content republished or published and at least seeing something off of it. Most group blogs will let you republish works, and as an individual blog, it is your content, you are free to do with it what you are going to.

The steps essentially on their How It Works page is that:

You create your content
They take your content and publish it on their web site or their affiliate’s web sites
You earn 50% of that pages advertising clicks

So rather than Izea which you write content for money, with this system you write the article, and allow them to take a cut of what you write about.

What is also interesting is that they have guidelines for writing that need to be followed, meaning they are giving advice on what works on their system, which is a good thing if you can follow their guidelines.

The potential is there, and we will be playing around with it to see how well it performs, and what the pitfalls and joy of the system looks like.
