What is Helium's Policy on Submitting Articles Already Published By Me?

Hi Abbey, technically you can. However, there are a few problems with doing that. The first is that you must maintain the same user name. You cannot publish the content as Abbey in one website, and republish the content in Helium as Alice. They will definitely ban you for plagiarism. The second problem is in finding the same title in Helium. Helium is very strict when it comes to the matter of article title. You need to submit the title for approval, and the title must follow a certain format.

Hey abbey19, long time, no talk. If you submitted your article to a site that holds the rights then you have to honor their web address. You can change the article around or add some more information to it and that would make it unique to Helium. There are other sites such as Associated Content which is now Yahoo! Contributor Network that allows you to publish it on others sites and link it on Facebook.

Ewwww, I don't remember, as I pretty much quite using Helium a while back. When I joined they had one set of requirements and then as I just about reached payments they changed the payout requirements. I like Triond and A/C (now Yahoo) much better as they pay every month whether we add content or not, whereas I have never been paid by Helium. Even Squidoo pays me better.

As far as I am aware, as long as it's your own work, it doesn't matter...I have a couple of my articles on both helium & bukisa & none of the sites have said anyhthing.

Hello, Abbey. I've submitted articles to Helium that have been on other websites with no problem. One time, they did query it, but as it was under my own name on the other website, they allowed it to stand. I think the problem arises if people use different pen names on different sites. I always use my real name, as it's more professional. Helium would certainly not terminate the account for one instance which they regarded as plagiarism, especially the first time. It takes a lot to get your account deleted at Helium, and I often think when people claim this has happened that they only pass on half of the story, but perhaps that's just me being cynical.

I write for both Bukisa and Helium and I cross-publish. I've used many of the articles I've published for Bukisa and submitted them to Helium. Except for two occasions where I was accused of plagiarism, all my articles were published at Helium with no problem at all. I discovered that two Bukisa articles of mine which I tried to submit to Helium were plagiarized by other webmasters. I have since proven to Helium that those articles were written by me and I own the copyright to those two articles and they've apologized and reinstated my articles.

I actually got banned from Helium for doing that, they accused me of plagurising my own work! I tried to prove to them that it was my work, and it came from my blog, but they won't listen to me. After the 2nd article. I felt so discouraged. My suggestion is that you only submit unique - and completely unique content to Helium. They're very, very strict, and I tried for 2 months to get my account back without any such luck. Good luck in your article-writing

you can do it but you might run into problems like not proving it is your own work. It is much easier to put it on Helium first and then post it elsewhere. Unless of course you submit it under exclusive rights then they own it.
