Helium.com is a honest site, isn't it?

Today also I tried, but the restriction is still in force.

Well, I started writing for Helium about the 3 years ago and still have not made enough to make their pay out which is $25.00 an amount that is very hard to get to with their mottos. I am only at $17 something dollars there. But I really have not written any thing new there because of this, I have like 40 articles there, and if I had wrote them on Associated Content I would have been paid several times over so I find writing there is a waste of time. So I can not honestly say weather or not they are actually paying the money that they owe people. However, once I do finally make enough to get paid out there, I would be really upset if I did not get paid.

Well I am a steward although non-paid and would say it sounds like sour grapes. I don't agree with everything Helium does but it was the best site for me to improve my writing and to earn money. I have been paid every time and it took a lot of hard work to get my stars, yes I lost some but then improved my writing to get them back. Rating isn't always fair but it is realtively anonymous so the vast majority of rating is going to be done by raters with the best will in the world to rate the best article highest. There are ways aroudn it especially by looking up articles as you rate but it is a lot of hassle and hardly worth the effort.

I have been a Helium member for 2 years and, although I don't earn a great deal of money there, I have reached minimum payout several times. Helium is a great place to learn about writing, and there is plenty of help available for those who want it. I would say it is certainly an honest site. Check out the Helium interest section here on Mylot, and I'm sure you'll find out a lot more. Next to Mylot, Helium is my favourite website.

I don't think so.Moreover I suggest you that the promotion of site here on mylot is not good and it should be avoided.

I am on staff at Helium, and I've read through all those complaints and posted a thorough response to the pattern of complaints which I read. Please know that Helium is a competitive site that requires a highly respectful online culture. These are some of the issues that trip folks. Helium has a supportive and responsive community and staff, and we do all we can to help our members. Not all succeed with the writing or within our unique online culture. The web is an open platform for any disgruntled person to cry foul. Discerning readers need to get the full picture. My inbox is always open for anyone who'd like to ask questions, get more information, and add details to help them discern where to place their writing on the Internet. Some 250,000 writers are writing and earning on the site. A handful are off in cyberspace sharing their frustrations.
