does anyone else use Helium to write and make money? I have just sold three more articles and my income for March is now $352.62. Not bad for a few articles. Also, has anyone used Bizreef? I have been looking, but they charge to contact potential buyers. It seems legit, but so do most scams.

I have never made anything off of Helium. How did you make $$ off of here? Have something chose as Top, or win a Contest for $$ or something? This is cool. Would Love to have you share some tips with us.
As for Bizreef... no, I have never heard of it, and would Never pay for someone to check out my work. Just does not sound legal to me.

Markeplace articles are specific. Sometimes they will post a topic that I know something about and sometimes I have to do a lot of research. That is where the money is, though.

I belong to Associated Content ( http://www.associatedcontent.com/join.html?refer=15512 ) and seem to do okay on there, but not as well as $300. I am also already a member of Helium, but have not published there. Could you please explain to me in detail how you are earning so much from them? Also, how does the program work, I was a bit confused by their TOS and FAQ's? (That may have just been a block in my mind too, lol.) I have not heard of bizreef until now? Let me know what you have found out about them since you posted this. Thank you in advance for the info.

I have been considering Associated Content. Helium copyrightes your material, but you retain the rights to it. Marketplace is the way to go. Bizreef isn't as good as it sounded. You have to bid on the jobs and there are 2-4 others bidding on them as well. The bids are low, averaging from $1.50 to $8.00. I still do not make enough to pay for work. Does AC copyright your material? Who owns the rights to it?

This is an interesting post. $352.62 is a nice, interesting figure. You must be a good writer. See you later, I'm off to helium to meet some nice, round numbers.

Wow $600!!! That's amazing. Inspired by you I went and joined Helium and submitted 2 articles today which are now "active"; upon checking the state of its health, I find this status: 5 of 18 and 6 of 18. Could you tell me what these mean? Does 5 of 18 mean that only 5 people out of 18 liked my article? I would appreciate a response.

Thanks for clarifying that for me. You mentioned something about the marketplace and bidding.Do you pay for bids?

Have you checked out the writer's forum yet? There are many seasoned writers there that could help you.

I write there for the experience and encouragement of the community.
I do have 9 cents now in my account, and my reward a-thon bonus is up to $9. WHOOOHOOO. But really, the money is just a bonus on top of the growing experience.

I don't use Helium. But I have written articles for Associated Content. That one is free to join as well. I'll have to look into Helium.

I believe the biggest difference between Helium and AC is with Helium you keep 100% rights to your work. You can publish any where at any time after you publish it with them. When I checked into AC, I thought they take rights to your content. Am I wrong?

wow.. it's really fantastic to earn like it only from writing online and make your articles earn. I know one site also where you can earn from writing.. www.ehow.com, but I didn't use it for I don't have any us social security that's why I can't apply it to myself. But, they pay though paypal... maybe, it's one good site where you can earn extra income too from writing articles.

Try the marketplace and don't forget to leapfrog if your ratings are below 25%.

I am really lazy. I sit in front of my pc, do a little research, write an article and get paid. Sometimes I will go for 2 or 3 days in my pajamas.
