I'm considering writing for Triond again

Nearly two months ago, I stopped writing for the Triond content publishing website after having done so for nearly two years. The reason was mainly financial. Because of the changes in Google's browser algorithm, my viewership dropped dramatically on my Triond articles and I was making less money through Triond. At least directly. Indirectly, I've still been making pretty good money from my AdSense account, which is another way for me to make money from Triond, through AdSense ads.

How much do I make monthly from AdSense? I've been averaging $100 per month, even since I stopped writing for Triond.

So, even though I was quite dispirited at the drop in views of my Triond articles, I'm considering once more writing articles for Triond.

There are three main reasons for this:

1.) Since I'm still making decent money through AdSense, I'm hoping by writing more articles for Triond that I could perhaps make even more money.

2.) I've been a blogger for years, and when I left Triond, I focused more on blogging. Then it recently dawned on me that I'm doing much of the same work I used to do for Triond, yet I'm not posting my articles on Triond's site. Which is kind of silly. I basically cut one of my income sources.

3.) Writing for Triond helped me to keep focuses to a degree. I wrote at least one Triond article every day, though it didn't always get posted for a day or two, and this forced me to sit down at a computer and write. I write almost every day anyway, but my Triond writing helped to enforce this.

There is also a fourth, lesser reason: I continue to make some money directly from Triond, though only about a fourth of what I was making months ago. With effort, perhaps I could build those earnings again.

Still, I have concerns about returning to writing for Triond. It can suck up the time, for one thing, and I make much more money from writing fiction. Still, Triond combined with AdSense did help to pay a bill or two each month.

What the heck? I'm jumping back in. That's why I'm posting this article. Of course if I have zero readership, I'm not likely to remain, but that's to be seen.
