I've finally plucked up enough courage to try NaNo this year - that's NaNoWriMo, the National Novel Writing Month: an annual writing challenge to produce a 50,000-word novel between November 1st and 30th. To be honest, the idea...

Last week, I reach the $10 payout. I thought I would never reach that because I only have $4 earned through posting and responding. I am not active anymore because I am too busy with work. I am thankful for the article writing...

madden12 If you do make sure you use a word document otherwise you will wonder why everything is so odd looking. Its probably common sense, but I had had to download a word program so I could make the PDF........its harder to make the EPUB, or at least get anyone to...

It is no secret that public education in the United States is, well, in serious trouble. An education activist in California suggest that private schools be banned. His reasoning? If the top ten percent were forced to send their...

madden12 Thanks Awinds! Lol. It is essentially our political system these days though. It is unfortunate that those in power don't really talk, they just point fingers and stick to talking points.

madden12 Yes, I had sorted it out, and then the Internet started messing with Helium and IP's got blocked and earnings plummeted. Somehow they are better today, hopefully this keeps up. I do agree that direct and upfront pay is a good hedge against these things....

madden12 Today was certainly much better. Earnings at Helium seem to be back at a reasonable level.....which is good because I was mostly freaking out about having little to nothing coming in compared to about two weeks ago and no one could say why. I'm trying out...

I was thinking of grouping a few of my Helium articles and turning it into an E-book. Would this be a waste of time, or a potentially money-making idea? What kind of promotion would it take and how much work would it take to...

Personally I think the Tea Party members are crazy and only got elected by playing off the fears of the people. Since taking office they haven't done anything but make the financial future of the country worse. Think about it, the...

madden12 That 200 billion is nothing. We send billions every year in aid to other countries, but it still represents less than a percent of our total GDP. I'm just now how the Tea Party thinks that an American downgrade that sent markets tumbling is a result of good...

madden12 It sounds like a good theory, but I don't think any conservative American politician would go for it. The debate would go something like this: School Board: Banning private schools would bring smarter students into schools and would raise the threshold...

madden12 Thanks for the feedback. In you experience, what would a good price point be? The concept for my ebook would be taking 50 or so of my articles, reworking them to tell a more coherent story and then marketing it towards teens/college grads that might be new to...

I am so ticked at myLot and the measily $6 I have made is almost an insult at this time. It's addictive to post on here only because you keep hoping to see that number go up. The way I see it is the people with 5000 post are...

madden12 I have said it on many other discussions on this site, but Helium is a great site. It's nice to see that there are people who take the time to understand and learn how the site works instead of just bashing it as some scam aimed at taking people's money or...

madden12 Wow, that is harsh. You shouldn't have to put up with that kind of attitude from a boss no matter where you are. Hopefully you were able to vent to someone when you got home because that is not OK no matter who you are. Ironically, I also had a manager who...

madden12 Finding a job when you first come out of college can really be a pain if you aren't in the right major. An English major is never really going to find "work" unless they want to be a teacher. However, this economy is making it hard to find a job anywhere. Good...
