I am just starting out writing my articles and I was wondering whether you guys use Triond or Helium? Also which is available everywhere? Do you know of any other good article sites?

Well i prefer to use triond more than helium. the payment is more adn the rules and regulations are less stern. Associated content is also a good site for publishing your articles.

Why not use both? I use a service called Jet Spinner to take one article and create many unique versions from it. This allows me to submit a version to several different writing sites. It increases your income without drastically increasing your effort. Just a thought.

I have never used Triond. However, I am always looking at more ways to make money with my articles. I like Helium. I will warn you that writing for Helium and writing for your own website or other article sites is a little different.
Writing for your own site includes considering Search Engine Optimization (SEO). One of these considerations is keyword maximization. These considerations cause a writing style that does not meet "traditional" writing guidelines.
Other article sites put an emphasis on writing that brings in readers. While these sites do care about grammar and punctuation, an article that captures readers' interests and receives a large number of views can make money.
Helium's rating system is done by other writers. Helium's category system only shows articles that are rated high by other writers. These may be professional writers or people who think they are professional writers. Grammar and punctuation mistakes (even slight ones) may get your article rated lower. In fact, even correct grammar and punctuation may be seen as incorrect by a rater and lower your site's ratings.
I do not want to turn you off to Helium. I use them and have made money with them. I highly recommend this site. These are just some considerations. I hope they will save you some of the headaches I have experienced.

hey i use triond i have not been on there long bout a few weeks and the more articles the better. I prefer it as you can write about anything you want and you can even put pictures up if you want. They offer to pay by paypal and cheque so you can choose.
