Helium does things a bit backwards. They publish all articles at first, and then the editorial board checks them AFTER they are published. They will then send you an email telling you if anything is wrong (like "off-topic", or whatever). You can then do a rewrite and resubmit the article, if you so desire. Helium is kind of difficult to learn at first. But once you have written a good number of articles, the payment continues month after month. Depending on how often you write (and how many), it can take a long time to make minimum payout. But, once you have your article count up, those articles keep earning each and every month. The secret to Helium is to keep a minimum of one writing star and one rating star and then keep writing. As your article count increases, your writing stars increase, earning you more money for each new article. Many people give up too early. A dozen articles is not going to earn you anything, it just doesn't work that way. I was around 100 articles before I started making payout each month without difficulty. But, once you get to that point, it becomes very easy (I only write a couple of new articles a month now). The first few months was different though, and I was writing around 25-30 articles a month to reach a respectable number of articles.

I don't think they do that because articles are published instantly, so there is no checking or editing that is happening. But the articles are rated and ranked and the best ones get more readers. Articles at Helium come in various quality. There are good ones as well as mediocre articles.

Yes, Helium do check your articles. Helium require that you use a high standard of English. "[i]Helium is a US-based site that insists on proper English grammar, spelling and punctuation in each article. While we want to encourage writers to submit articles and learn from the ratings and member feedback, we can and often will remove articles that are not written to the criteria of these Writing Standards. Special Note to international contributors: We welcome everyone's contributions and insight from around the world. However, we require that all articles be written with proper English style, grammar and punctuation. If you need help, use our resources, such as the mentor program (write to Mentor@Helium.com), feedback in the forums or reach out to Channel Stewards. If you refuse to seek help, or after getting help you still submit low-quality articles, we will remove your articles and terminate your account.[/i]"
