Freelance writing: What's new with Helium nowadays
posted June 1, 2009 - 9:23pmHelium changed a few things on their website. They change for the better. It used to be very slow with their website and no one would write for them. I used to make about $5 a month on there from residual. People used to leave the website but they're much better now. It's impressive on how they can pay you automatically anywhere from $.50-$2.50 for each article and no other websites have made this kind of offer. What they're doing is that they're selling your articles to publishers and then you get a $5 cut for it if your articles is chosen from the library. This means you can write on anything and publishers will take their picks. This is a great opportunity for those that have time and can write perfect articles and I do mean perfect.
I have so many articles deleted because they weren't perfect. They were looking for zero errors kind of articles and I couldn't stand checking my emails anymore because I'm keep getting deleted messages. They could delete it if it has one typo. I had one typo and they deleted my articles. I guess they're trying to make their library perfect so they can sell it to publishers on demand but they have to realize that not all writers have time to come up with a perfect articles and not all of them want to sell their articles to publishers so it's too much to expect all writers to prepare for magazine quality when it's not sure if they'll get pick or not.
Publishers might not pick our articles so it's not fair to delete all of our articles and make us write perfect magazine styles because we're not all professional writers. I guess I can leave the website if I chose to. I think a lot of people did left the website. Eventually they will delete all of my articles.
