published on other sites like AC? I have been considering revising some of my Helium articles and submitting them to AC. I was looking for advice from some of you on whether or not that would break the terms of service on either site? Any idea? Thanks for the help in advance!

Hi Mehale, you are talking about your articles or articles by other writers?
If your article, you can actually submit elsewhere without rewriting. Helium does not need exclusive rights to the articles, but you have to make sure the other writing sites also do not need exclusive rights to the articles.
I post the exact copies of the articles from Helium to AC for display only, sometimes I post to Bukisa.

Yes, I was talking about my articles. Sorry, I should have been clearer about that, lol! I was not sure if I could do that or not. Thanks for the advice. I also have not heard about Bukisa. I will check into it. If I decided to sign up there do you get referrals from that site? If so I would sign up under yours. Let me know.

Hi Mehale, you can find the referral link to Bukisa in my profile page here.
Bukisa has excellent referral scheme. They pay up till the third levels. In fact, it's possible to earn money from Bukisa even if you hate writing, so long as you can refer those active bloggers.
Bukisa pays 25% for first level referral. 6% (25% of 25%) for second level referrals, and 1%(25% of 25% of 25%) for third level referrals.
The best thing about Bukisa is the traffic source information. It lets you see where the traffic comes from, eg within Bukisa or search engines. If they come from search engines, Bukisa shows the keywords the readers use in search bar and come to your article.
Guess what, I have written an article about "how to recycle your writings and get away with it", most readers come because of the words "recycle" and not "writing", I learnt a lesson from this comical experience.

Yes, you can do that. Helium is non-exclusive, meaning you own the copyrights on your articles. The exception is the marketplace articles. Those are strictly exclusive articles until after they transition. It won't break the terms for Helium. On AC, you have to choose the non-exclusive options, most likely the display only for ppv option. Make sure you read the options carefully.

I do this all the time. I try to repost one Helium article (for page views only) to Associated Content per day. And I have started using Twitter to promote them as well. It seems to be helping. Reposting helps you make more money from one article, and I have discovered that the AC and Helium audiences are generally not the same. I never realized you could do this until I read about it here on MyLot! Ask anything about writing here, and you will find someone who knows the answer.
Good luck with your writing.

Hi anythng. That's actually what I do with my ac articles. I take my non-exclusive ac articles and put them on Helium. I haven't put enough on Helium yet, but I am still trying. Maybe someday we will both be rolling in the dough. LOL
I don't know if you saw my comment to your book review, but what I meant was that I am receiving publication notices and when I go to the article it is not there. It took a little over a day for yours to show up, that's why it took me so long to leave a message.

If you rewrite the articles and don't use the same verbage, you can rewrite the articles anywhere. The web sites want to have original material in case it is sold to a magazine or another web site. So if you rewrite the articles you can use them wherever you like.
I hope this is the information that you were looking for, and that you find this somewhat useful.
I know that I have read other web sites materials, and then wrote my own summaries and have never had a problem with plagiarism. It is kind of like doing a book report. You read the book, and then you summarize it in your own words.
Good luck with your articles and all of you online adventures!
