justdroppingby Yup. In the Philippines mint leaves are also cultivated and more popularly known as herba buena. We have it in our yard actually - very convenient for when I want to have some mint with my pasta dishes. Never really explored its medicinal properties though -...

justdroppingby Welcome to MyLot! I've signed up for ODesk but I still have to build up my portfolio on the site. Right now I maintain regular writing jobs from Freelancer, and whenever it tickles my fancy I post articles on residual-income content submissions sites. I think...

justdroppingby I don't know, I just lost interest in Heroes... As for Lie To Me, the protagonist doesn't have special powers or anything, he just has a really keen sense of observation and he's devoted his life and career to studying people's expressions and body...

justdroppingby I must admit that 50 articles is quite overwhelming... but I will keep that in mind. It's sad to know that Philippine writers in Helium have gained a negative reputation because of the actions of some. Even sadder to think that the honest writers should suffer...

justdroppingby Really? I just got my 2 writing stars last week, right after I did a series of rewrites on competitive titles of a topic that was close to my heart. I haven't really written anything new yet, but I am excited at the prospect of earning upfront payments. I must...

justdroppingby Yep... I did enjoy it, even if it was only about a day that I saw it up front :p It made me wonder though... what exactly is Helium's criteria for featuring articles on the front page? Like you said, it seems pretty random, but then again there must be some...

justdroppingby Hmm.. I bought mine here in the Philippines for 800 pesos, which is about $17. The cheapest she offered me was about $500 ($10). I'm not sure though how much that would be in India...

justdroppingby I don't think you can earn as much in a short span of time from PTC sites (I've never joined one lol) and ad revenue-based content submission sites. I've detailed my whole 4-month part-time online freelancing stint on my blog:...

justdroppingby I joined a bidding site for freelancers. That's where I got the bulk of my spare income. With residual sites like AC (which won't pay non-US writers without a tax form anymore, btw) you really just get pennies at a time but I think it's still a pretty good...

justdroppingby I'm sure all non-US writers are affected by the AC lockdown. Not so sure about Helium though. Yeah, I'm also on Triond. I've noticed though that my articles posted on AC earn more compared to Triond. Anyways, mostly I just repost articles on AC and Helium...

justdroppingby I tried mailing blurbs for "Life's Like That" and "Laughter the Best MEdicine" on RD once, but I never got an answer. Maybe it was because I was just a high school kid then. lol. I've aslo observed their sense of humor is quite different from that we consider...

justdroppingby Hi iakulchen. Yeah, I read from the Helium forums that it has been going on for some time now. As for country-specificity, I asked the Helium help desk specifically if they were blocking users from the PHilippines, and their response was in the affirmative....
