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.

I am a member of Helium under my pen name. This is a good place I think to practice. I have made a little bit of money on there but not enough to dedicate my whole life to it. I did however, receive my first writing job by using a couple of the articles that I wrote there as samples.
