joining a writing site.....

That's good for you, since you said you only use it for having fun writing and all that. I used to write for Helium, but (this is just me, others might differ), I find the site totally boring. It's good for those whom want to improve and earn upfront payments, but I prefer to write my own titles and using the first person account the whole time. Therefore, after I cashed out, I didn't think much of it anymore, hehehe.. My personal writing style is more of a blogging type, so this site is not suitable for me at all. But there are others whom enjoy the site, and I think it works for them, so that's cool. It's a matter of preference. If you don't mind editing your articles at times, and love writing to titles suggested there, this may be a superb choice for you. All the best yeah..

i haven't tried joining to wrting sites.though i wanted to,but i guess it's just not my luck.you know,i wanted to write but i'm not good at it.can you tell me if i can join there if i'm not that good when it comes to writing?

Hi Cutie, there is an interest group by the name of Helium in mylot. You can find many writing tips from experienced writers in Helium. Many of them are 5 stars writers with contest winnings and marketplace sale. Actually I should say survival tips rather than writing tips. Helium has a unique system that puzzles many great writers. They can write very good articles. However, they cannot survive the system if they do not even understand the system.

This discussion has been helpful in a way because I am new too to writing but not really new, am new in the sense that am trying to find my voice and earn from writing. To be precise am having the same problems with triond, the first article I submitted there was rejected and ask me to revise it, but I couldn't do that because I didn't save the article. Will want you good writers to help me decide which is better when it comes to earning residual for your writing, Helium or Triond, and if you know another that gives writers worldwide the same privilege with U.S. writers then you could point that out as well. Will go look for the discussion interest for Helium and try reading about how to be the rejection stages on helium, thanks for creating this discussion , it has been helpful. Happy Mylotting to those who have contributed their wonderful response, you have all helped.

Hi Cutie, At first congratulation for joining with Helium. Without any doubt it is an excellent decision. Helium is really a very good site that really pays for your writings. But if u r new to this, u should also consider some factors those are related to the earnings. They will pay you an fixed amount for your selected article which is very difficult to gain. And on the other hand, you can get paid for the numbers of visitors. And The Secrete is They have millions of articles but less than 40,000 visitors per month. Consider, is it going to worth You!!!!

I am a newbie to Helium also and am only just finding my feet. I currently have 9 articles written and can say I am enjoying it so far, though can see very early on that it is going to take time and effort. There is still an aweful lot for me to learn, other than Mylot I don't write else where, I don't consider myself a writer.

I think I'm still a member of Helium, I haven't been there in a very long time. I made payout a couple of times, but then they started the star business and I quit. I don't know if this is still true, but at the time, unless you had a star (or maybe two?) you wouldn't get paid. To get the stars, you had to read and rate others' articles. I don't remember everything about it, but if you didn't do the rating, you just didn't get paid, no matter how much you made. Even if I were inclined to rate other articles, I didn't like being forced to.

I am writing for Helium, most of my income online came from this site. I think it is a good site to write. But I have to spend a fair bit of time to write article for this site because it has very high editing standards. Once your articles were found with errors they will bound to be flagged out by other less gracious and red-eyed members. It will eventually be deleted. Just put in some effort, there should not be a problem. My user name there is the same as MyLot. Cheers and good luck.

I've read a lot of good things about helium long time ago. I just don't know why I haven't signed up that time. I'm not sure if it was helium that didn't accept members outside US. Right now I checked and they do allow them now. For sure, when I get home I'll definitely register. I hope I'll have break there, too.

I tried joining this site to, but I can't uinderstand how, what a member should do. It seems that it is meant for professional writers.

I too have joined Helium and I enjoy writing reviews and I find articles to write for. It's a great website for writing as long as you can write the minimum amount of words and make sure to spell check your article, you should be able to get started right away.
