HubPages and Triond are surprisingly similar in some ways and yet are very different from each other. Both sites were launched around the same time in 2006. Triond was started in the month of June just 2 months ahead of HubPages which was launched in August. They also have similar models through which writers can earn money online by writing for them. Want to know how these two writing sites compare? Read on.

Writing and Submission Process

-          Writers are called Hubbers on HubPages and their submissions are called Hubs. Hubbers may create hubs written in English which contain text, photos, videos and links. All content are automatically published and may later be unpublished if found to contravene any publishing guidelines.

-          Triond accepts text, image and video content created in English. Submissions are reviewed and published if they are accepted. Triond may request that you revise an article before it is accepted and sometimes, may decline to publish your content.

Earnings

-          HubPages does not pay hubbers directly. Hubbers earn from one of the affiliate programs on HubPages which include Google AdSense, Kontera, Amazon and eBay. To earn from any of these programs, hubbers have to apply and be accepted into them first. The application processes can be found on the HubPages FAQ. There is also a means of earning from traffic referrals.

-          Triond offers writers the opportunity to earn from article page views and Google AdSense. You have to have a Google AdSense account for which you can apply from HubPages. Writers can also earn from Triond’s referral program.

Payment

-          On HubPages, you receive your payments from the various affiliate programs. Thus, you may request payment whenever you reach the payment threshold for each of the programs. For instance, you may ask for payment on Google AdSense or Amazon when your earnings reach $100.

-          Triond pays earnings from page views through PayPal, Check and Western Union. Minimum payout via PayPal is $0.50. For check and Western Union, minimum payout is $100. Google AdSense earnings are paid by Google when you reach the minimum payout which is usually $100.
