Helium

September 11th 2008 01:43

Helium is a place where writers can write about pretty much anything. This is similar to Associated Content but there is one catch. You don't actually make any money. You get page views which many Helium veterans can make add up to a few dollars a month.

This sounds terrible right?

No.

There is a section called The Marketplace. This area lets you view special content requests by people who need something specific. Odds are these topics will be about specific towns, events, pets, games, or something fairly basic. Once in a while there will be something that needs a real writer to do and these will pay very nicely. The only problem is that you will compete with the other Helium writers as there it no limit to how many people can attempt to have their material purchased.

Is Helium even worth your time? Well, I haven't really tried so I can't say. Your best bet would be to join up for free, set up your profile, and drop in a few articles to see what happens. After a few basic articles that might help you become a presence there, hit the marketplace.

I'd probably just go directly to the Marketplace but I'm all about money. I already participate in so many writing communities similar to Helium, I'd end up very confused haha.

Here is a link so you can take a look at what's in the marketplace right now.

Really Long Link

As you can see, there are some fairly basic topics so if they don't get picked up by the person requesting them, there is a possibility you will earn page views.

I'm checking into this still and will update this post again.

Happy Writing.

Textbroker (LINK)

August 5th 2008 01:29

I have done just three articles for Textbroker but they seem to be legitimate. The assignments vary greatly and some get snatched up very quickly but this is an easy way to make a few bucks when you don't have ideas for long articles for other sites.

Textbroker gives you a rating after you submit a sample that ranges from 2-4. If your rating is 2, you can only take assignments that require a 2 rating and so on. Apparently it takes about 10 high quality articles before your rating improves which is why I'm taking my time. I have a 3 rating but should probably be higher than that. I want to go through the system though so I can add to this review later on.

The assignments vary quite a bit. Some clients want simple testimonials about their business while others want serious informative content. You can only claim one assignment at a time but once you submit it, you can take another. This is actually pretty nice as people can't hog all the good stuff!

So far, I'd recommend them for those who want to dabble in the online jobs field just to get a feel for it. I've had no problems so far.

The link is here.

UPDATE: 8-9-08.

I really like Textbroker!! I got bumped up to 4 stars immediately and I find this site is a great way to just whip out some articles for a few extra bucks. They pay monthly but I intend to do articles here and there throughout the month. I'm already over the $20 mark for just a few articles that take me about 10 minutes each.

Informative Post (LINK)

August 3rd 2008 23:37

Well, with the help from my friends over at Associated Content, I recently joined an article submission site called Informative Post. This site is vaguely similar to Associated Content and you can submit articles to them for immediate as well as residual payments. The pageview earnings seem to be a little more than AC but the actual upfront paying jobs seem to fluctuate and be based on your rating on Informative Post.

I'm going to submit a batch throughout this week and I will update everyone on what happens there. The site seems laid out pretty nicely.

If you feel like signing up under me, here is a blatant referral link:

Really Long Link

If you like Associated Content but have had items declined, I don't see what you could lose by putting them up here at Informative Post.

[Updates will be coming by Friday so check back!]

SharedReviews (LINK)

July 15th 2008 15:12

SharedReviews is a site that pays you to write small reviews on products you own. I got $10 a few months ago for 5 reviews on kids DVDs that were jusy laying around my house. You do need to put in the products UPC code I think. The format seems to have changed a little bit. It used to be $2 per review. I'm not sure if it's still the same.

This is actually fun to do once in a while. It won't make you a serious income unless you absolutely love to review things but there is some kind of voting system in place now that could help you out. Be part of the community there and your reviews will get looked over more.

Brighthub (LINK)

July 5th 2008 20:12

I haven't posted on here in a little bit as I've been busy with family stuff but I recently joined up with Brighthub.

Brighthub is a great place for article writers to work. You apply on their website and if you are accepted, they will place you in a specific area. I'm working in both Home Office and PC. They pay well and are very reliable so you should definitely check them out. They do require a W-9 if you live in the US.

I just submitted an article in the PC Games channel so I will let everyone know how it goes. I honestly have never seen such a friendly group!
