Helium or Assoicatecontent ? what is the best and why ?

I am not working with AC because it pays only per views and not for the articles to non US citizen. I am working on Helium since December and hope to make payout there. Helium seems a little difficult and confusing in the beginning but ultimately it solves the problem if you have a good thorough read of the user guide with proper attention to every little detail.Now Helium is giving more offers with every passing day to starred writers and I hope I can utilize them properly. Have a nice day!

I like Associated Content better than Helium, but they're both pretty good. I like that AC is more journalistic content and Helium is more commentary and creative content. There's a niche in each for every kind of writing, but I've had better luck with AC overall.

I couldn't ever really get into Helium. I like to use Associated Content because I know that I will be paid every month whether I write or not. I also like the Calls for Content on Associated Content because sometimes I'm just not feeling very creative and I like to know that they have picked a topic for me and that I already know what is expected of me and what I will get paid for writing that piece.

I personally like Helium better. There are so many more earning opportunities from the Marketplace(yay) to Contests (yuck) to sharedrevenue(yay) to upfront payments(yay) and the empty title bonus(yay). Yes, you need a rating star to get shared revenue, and you need at least one writing star at the end of the month to get upfront/empty title bonuses. However it's not all that hard to get. The few bad things about Helium are: Articles are pitted against themselves so it increases normal-articles-competition. Payout is higher. I am trying to participate in AC more. I recently wrote an article meant for Helium but decided to try AC's upfront payment and I got 3.53 bucks for it, that's in addition to any revenue the article will get. So , if you're from the US, AC's upfront payment is really worth a try. Some people try Calls but it seems like so many of them a PPV only, so basically they're treated like regular articles. The payout's really low: no limit for upfronts, and 1.5 minimum for revenue payout. Other things to consider: Helium also allows publishers to buy "stock content". So if they like a regular article you wrote, you get five bucks and they get to republish it. This is fairly rare for most writers. Also Helium's community is far more existent. There may not be a comment system, but at least there's a really active forum with loads of helpful people. AC does win on media. You can put videos and slideshows and audio, but you can't get any upfronts on it. Personally if I had any media I'd put it on Bukisa since their PPV program is currently higher (over twice higher) than AC's - or put on both!

i dont like helium as earning from helium is very difficult i posted 5 articles but earned only 9 cent too worst compared to the labour ,i rated around 70 articles also.I never tried AC so can't comment.
