Helium - Get Paid to Write!

Helium is a fabulous site for aspiring novelists, freelance writers, and also complete novices. The community at Helium embraces everyone. Your articles are rated against others in the same title by other Helium members and the best rise to the top. The site offers several ways for writers to earn money.

1. You can write an article to an existing title or start a new title of your own in an existing category. These articles can be on anything from cat breeds to automotive repair to internet marketing. You will earn a percentage of the advertising for each article you write.

2. Contests abound on Helium. Helium administrators will give a selection of titles for you to write on. Winners receive up to $75.

3. Marketplace is a section on Helium where publishers place titles. Many Helium writers will submit articles and the publisher selects the winner. These articles pay anywhere from $5 to $100 or more, depending on the publisher.

I have written just over 100 articles on Helium that have been earning me a small passive income for the last few months. I continue to rate articles at least once a week but I haven't written anything new for some time. My articles continue to make me money though, as people continue to read them.

If you are looking for a place to be your creative outlet or looking to earn money for your writing, then Helium is the place for you to begin.
