Is CIAO a legit site???

vidhyavini @vidhyavini (6111) • India 26 Sep 08

Hi everyone. I opened an account with ciao and started writing reviews. I was shocked to see the way they pay. One can easily earn $100 a month if they concentrate on that site. In that case, I doubt if they pay. I heard from...

Any other Helium writers who have decided not to leapfrog?

RK Finnell @irishidid (8687) • United States 27 Aug 08

Duplicate content submissions

iakulchen @iakulchen (615) • Singapore 26 Aug 08

For those of you who flag, what do you flag it under when you find several submissions that have the same content that have been submitted by a writer?

thingywhatsit I don't flag. I trace the article and send links to multiple articles which are the same to content@helium.com and let them do the work.

thingywhatsit How about using the alternative. Write to content@helium.com and ask them to do a typo edit. They allow up to three alterations and you mark your email MARKETPLACE TYPO, and explain the typo you want and also give them the title of the Marketplace article and...

thingywhatsit You can earn good money writing articles for Helium.com. Its a bit slow at first but once you have loads of articles, it really does pay you well. I earn about 500 dollars usually on a good month, though this month broke the record.

thingywhatsit I write regularly for Helium and unlike other review sites, the long term investment makes it worth it, earning so much nowadays that I have to fill out tax forms! It's well worth it and fun and I love this site best out of all the site I contribute to.
