If i submit an article to AC as non/exclusive and for payment, and then i accept their offer and it is published on their website, am i still allowed to then take that piece and offer it to constant content for sale? i think i...

tacoman25 I've heard that AC pays about 25-30% more for exclusive. It's up to each writer to decide if that's worth it.

i have been writing for AC for a bit now and i was wanting to know your opions on the other sites, like helium and constant content, which one is better, and for that matter how does HELIUM pay?

tacoman25 Hey, you and I have adopted the same strategy! And yes, it does seem to be effective. The only difference with me is that sometimes I'll let an article on AC be published non-exclusively, and leave it on CC as a non-exclusive as well. It just depends on the...

tacoman25 By they way, Helium has a $25 pay out, not $50. Just the facts, ma'am.

In my opinion, it's Tory Holt of the Rams. Every year for the past 7-8 years the guy has put up phenomenal numbers, but he's never mentioned among the greats. I've seen him make catches that TO has never attempted.

tacoman25 You guys are both right, in that both of those guys are very underrated receivers, probably more than Holt. I just chose Holt because he's rarely mentioned along with TO, Moss, Chad Johnson, Steve Smith, or Marvin Harrison...and I think he's in that elite...

In your humble opinion, what are the best songs to come out in the last 10 years? Any genre. I'm working on a definitive list myself of much more than 10 (probably 100), and I would like to get some more ideas.

tacoman25 Yes, Pink Floyd was a great band. One of my favorite songs of all time is by them "Comfortably Numb". "Wish You Were Here" is another great one by them.

tacoman25 Well, our difference in beliefs about the value of humans and animals is philosophical, so I don't think it would do much good to try to argue it here. But as far as eating animals causes pain...the pain that most animals go through that are killed for food is...

tacoman25 That is true that it is sexier to not show everything. But why do you want to be seductive? Are you looking for a guy, or do you just like the attention it brings you?

tacoman25 Another site I'm a member of, Mike, is Suite101. They seem to be a bit more professional than Helium, but you generate revenue the same way, basically: page views on your articles. I submitted one article to them for a test run, and so far I'm disappointed. In...

Sometimes I just like to lay on the beach and take it easy and sip a nice cold drink. Other times I love hiking in the mountains, especially when I get to the top and can look over the world. How about you?

tacoman25 Thanks for the info on AC. I believe in the site, so even though they have not responded to my submissions yet, I will continue to submit new articles to them. Once they start approving my articles, it should add up fast. I'm wondering how you plan to generate...

tacoman25 I think how much you make per view depends on the article. If it's a real popular topic with lots of ad clicks, you might make 1 cent per click...it just depends. I'm pretty sure it's closer to two clicks per cent overall. Anyway, once you get enough decent...

You can write just about anything on Helium.com and they will pay you per page view. Has anybody here really made anything there, or heard of anybody making money there?

tacoman25 Wow, none of my articles have made that much yet, nice! And it's on an odd subject that I wouldn't expect to be that popular...but your article is ranked #1, so I can see how it has continued to keep earning for you.

tacoman25 Mike, thanks for the kind words. I actually have several articles pending with AC as we speak...how long does it usually take for them to be approved (or not)? They say 5 business days, and this is the 5th or 6th one since I submitted mine. Helium doesn't...

I started to cut coupons out of the Sunday paper. I find that the local grocery stores put the items in the coupons on sale. I think I paid 1 cent for shampoo once. Do you cut coupons and try to save money this way?

tacoman25 It's easy. Just go to My Helium from the main page, then click on Send Invites. A list will come up where you can put in names and e-mail addresses. Helium does the rest.
